1)Sapphire 9700np flashed woth a prp bios running@ 320/292
2)Leadtek 5900 flashed to 5950 running@ 475/950

now, if you were like Fast Eddie and had actual experience and talked about it, you wouldnt seem like an ignorant fuckhead.

i think the 5900 - 5950 is the more bang for your buck deal but thats just me i have no knowledge of the 9700 np

Based on what i here from others benchmarks, and reviews, if you can get a 5900 > 5950 that would be cheaper and better route to take. heres one review i looked at.....

get the FX, it will benchmark higher *twirls finger*

5900 with cough bio's flash for supreme benchmark legend making:rolleyes If your lucky!

9700 for actual proven no bio's flash needed performance in games :

9800 for $20 more is a guranteed better buy and performer than both

and before you think the bio's flash is a guranateed winner have a read at both guru3d.com and nv news forums and see some of the problems and failures a lot of people are having with this route

if the card is already flashed to 5950 speeds and you dont have to go through any hassles and such.. grab the FX!
