I'm itching for a new card, and will upgrade in a month or so. I just read Anandtech's latest video card review of the 9600XT. In the article, they mention a 5700 Ultra coming out.

I was seriously considering a used 9700 Pro retail; but if Nvidia can put something on the table for $200.00 that will beat it...

What to do??

Consider the 9800np at Best Buy for $239. I bought one, and even with Infineon ram I've got it clocked up there with 9800 pro speeds.

Well i guess the 5700 might actually not suck from what i read over at hexus. Beats teh 9600XT in lots of things. I would wait to use both first though before i actually bought one. But what about the 9600 AIW?

"lots of things", it isn't even out yet. Oh and 9700 > 9600 Pro/XT by far, so even if the 5700 is faster than the 9600XT in everything it wouldn't matter because it'd have to be faster and then some to compete with the 9700.
