TaNk, I have a PNY 5900XT 128 and I Sware by FX cards as they seem to be the most stable and in my experience have more support than than the ATI cards. I know most of the experts will shoot me down in flames on this one because most benchmark mark tests show the ATI performs at high FPS but I have two good friends with 9800 pro's and they are both having problems with there cards. I run Far Cry with all of the settings on high and I also play FS2004 with all settings on high. Both cards are obviously good cards and are in healthy compitition with one another but the FX is cheaper by far. GaryM Chaintech 9PJL Apogee 800FSB P4 2.8 HT PNY FX5900XT 128 2*512 PC2700 dual

Wait a bit,if you can. the new nvidia 6800u kicks bottom apparently? The fx collection has flaws(issues with mipmaps or something) Saying that tho,I have a fx5600 256mb and am quite happy with it nf7-s v2.0 jou jye 550w psu xp2400+@200x11 fx5600@350&600 Thermaltake Lanfire WDCaviar 60gb Seagate Barracuda 80gb ;~}

but once again does the openGL make any diffrance? since 9800 Pro is 2.0 and 5900FX is 1.4 ? will i see any diffrance in gameplay since i only use OpenGL to play games !!!! Thanks for reply guys ! -TaNk Abit NF7-S 2.0 2500+xp @ 3200 1x512DDR 3500 ATI 9800 Pro Super X Alien 500W

oh my gosh....hello.... the Geforce FX5900XT is a castrated version of the GeForce FX5900!!! nVidia did the exact opposite of ATI....the XT on nVIDIA cards means SLOWER!!!! seriously!!! you should get this card: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-161-109&depa=0 it's got a HUGE fan....and it's ultra overclockable!!! i got this card running on my P4 @ 2Ghz with 512MB of PC133 ram running 5700 3DMarks03 marks!!! i got a 14% performance increase by overclocking!!! (that's more than the Radeon 9800XT) get it! not GeForce FX5900XT! the GeForce is slower than even the standard GeForce5900 Please! listen to me here! Sheesh!

I just got Radeon 9800 pr 128 mb. It kicks ass. The graphics is just imazing and the perfomance is very good. My friend got FX 5900, it ain't as good. With Geforce you'll still be able to see lines around the objects, with ati you won't (if you change settings) peace
