BFG 5700le any good?

[bonchez]

I was think of getting a BFG FX 5700le OCed 256mb for my second computer. My second computer currently has an ATI Radeon 9500 pro 128mb. I was wondering if the 5700le would have that much of an increase in game preformance than my 9500? I saw the 5700le cards today at Fry's for $150. Some input would be helpful.

The 9500 Pro is going to be the better card. If you want an upgrade, save an additional $50-75 for a GeForce 6600 GT.

The 9500 PRO should tear that 5700 LE a new one. The 9500 PRO featured a fully functional 8 pixel pipes. Best deal of its time.
