Ok here is the question

I have a Radeon 9500Pro 128 AGP AND a G-Force FX5200 D256M AGP. Does anyone know where I can find out which one is better...I am reading more and more technobabble and my mind is spinning.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Generally speaking, video card performance can be judged by it's 'generation' and memory size

In this case I would say the Radeon card is superior (even though the Geforce has double the memory)

the ATI Radeon card is about 3(?) years old, the nVidia Geforce is 5 years old.
As far as I know, neither card can use dx10, but will work in Vista/7 with dx9, however
Software and support wise, IMO nvidia is better but some have had better luck with ati

Full disclosure: I've been a nVidia user for just under 10 years, I started out with ATI
