Help comparing these cards.

That atlantis is probalby 128 bit. The FX5900XT is $172. If that is around the max price you would go, I would go with the 256-bit 9800 pro 128 meg. You can find them for around $200. Some of my friends have gotten them for $170, but that was on sale.
 
According to the specs that 9800 "Atlantis" card is 128-bit, so no better than a 9600XT.
The 5900XT is usually faster, so of those two I'd get that. Still, as long as you can swing a few bucks more a "real" (256-bit memory) 9800pro 128MB is faster than either of them. If you can mamage the $200 or so price I'd get that, unless you happen to run Linux, in which case I'd get the 5900XT. (NVs Linux drivers are *much* better than ATIs)
