Wow, seems like a pretty good deal. What do you guys think? I was all set to get a 9600Pro or XT, but this seems to be a much nicer card. Shipping at $8.88 is kinda high, though.

Do these cards overclock well? Or are they flashable to the ultra version?

this card seems to be along the lines of a 9700, maybe a little bit better in a few benchmarks.

so this 5900xt is much better than this 5700 here?

Please let me know, I want to decide which one to get now? because my 8500 died last night.
Thanks

Just checked nvnews.net forums. To flash with 5950U BIOS you have to have 5900u/nu cards so this one is out of the question. Still a speedy card for the price.

There's no comparison. 5900XT beats 5700U in all tests, the non-ultra version you have linked won't even come close.

What are the chances this might be a price mistake, and we'll all going to get cancel emails in a few hours?
