Default 9800gtx Vs. 9600gt

So i'm looking at buying a new card. I was lookign at the 9800GTX and the 9600GT and I noticed the 9800 is almost twice the price at the 9600 is it really worth it for the price? I'm using dx9 not dx10

I highly recommend 9600GT unless you really need highest GFX performance with SLI.

I'm using 8800GT btw.

I'd just go for an ATI Radeon 3400 or something, it's much cheaper and just about as good.

I'm using a 6200 right now.
My computer's a bit dated.
Anyone know what kind of motherboard/processor I'd need to use a card like the above mentioned?
I should just be asking Wolf this, but... w/e

If you're thinking of upgrading, it would be a complete waste of money.

Just buy a new computer and buff it up with high-tech stuff so you won't have to upgrade for a long time.
