5900xt Questions

[Wicked_Bass]

I am looking at one to use until dec. for my rig is this an acceptabel card for decent framerates without super dooper detail.

Also should I get the 128meg or the 256meg card thanks Wicked

dont know about the card, i think it stacks against a 9600xt but dont know for sure
dont get the 256mb version, the extra memory is useless

If you get a good one like the eVGA or XFX and OC it you'll be able to get around 9800 pro performance. The eVGA and XFX's will hit close to 475/950 which is 5950 speeds.

I have a Gigabyte 5900XT but it doesn't want to clock very high. I run it at 440/800.

I would go for the XFX. I like Gainward and BFG but i dont think ither of them have the higher speed RAM the XFX uses.

Did i say eVGA? I'm sorry. I meant Leadtek.

Just look at both of them on Newegg and pick the one you like the most. They will both perform really well for a 5900XT.

The 6800 non ultra's beat the 9800XT and 5950u by a considerable margin usually.
