    I was wondering if anybody has tried the Nvidia 5700 FX Ultra.
    It was supossed to be the big brother of the 5600 FX.
    I currently have A 5600 FX (256MB) and I'm not too happy with its performance. I'm considering the possibility of selling it and then buying the 5700. But of course, I would only do this of it's worth the trouble.
    Any thoughts, comments? :rolleyes:

    Nope. I haven't seen much, but it's pretty good, if you've got an older card. I don't think you'd see a noticable increase in performance, or very little of one. If you don't like the 5600, I'd recommend going for a Radeon 9600, not because the FX cards are completely worthless, but ATi's DX9 implementation is better than nVidia's. Also the 5700's run about $200 vs about $150 as far as retail prices go. You can find the 9600's around $100 on-line, however, and I'm sure the 5700's are lower priced as well.
