Is more stream processors on a video card better?

I'm trying to choose between two video cards, one has 64 sream processors and the other has 112, how big of a difference is that?|||More stream processors will make a huge difference. Stream processors do things like pixel shading, vertex shading, physics calculations, and much much more, and more is better.



Basically Nvidia cards tend to have a fraction of the shaders of ATI's cards, but Nvidia clocks them much higher to make up for the difference.



Are you comparing the 9600 GT to a 9800 GT? For only $30 more it's definitely worth the jump to a 9800 GT.|||yes it is a big difference.
