Anyone know the difference between:

ATI Radeon 9000 pro 64MB ddr @ $135
Sapphire Radeon 9000 64 MB ddr @ $72
PowerColor Radeon 9200SE 128 MB ddr @ $82

Prices from http://www.canadacomputers.com/video.html#gra

I'm looking for a budget vid card that will still perform well on games such as Unreal Tournament 2003, Grand Tourismo....etc.

If your budget is as high as 135 bucks, there is cards out there way better then a 9000 pro. Not to mention, 135 bucks for that card is waaaay to much. Pricewatch has it listed for 59 dollars.

135 bucks you could get a 256meg GeforceFX 5200. 104$ now actully. Fx5600 256meg for 139. the 128meg for 122.

Best value for performence IMO right now. Check out pricewatch.com. They have much better prices then that.

I found ATI 9600 Pro's on Pricewatch from $135 to $150. That's what I would get. I have a 9500 Pro and love it. A 9600 Pro is just a bit slower that a 9500 Pro. But both are great middle of the pack cards (both are 128 MB). I think the 9000 Pro is just an 8500. The lower end nVidia FX cards are dogs. Good luck.
