Thoughts on Asylum GF 5600 Ultra?

[SilverCeli]

Building a new rig and wondering if I should drop $130 on this card or should I wait for a good deal on a 9600 pro? I plan on playing CoD with this new rig so if ATI isnt going to work well then I guess I have my answer, but any input on this card would be helpful. Thanks in advance...

i would wait for a deal on a 9600 pro

$130 is too much imo. For $10 more you can get a 9600 pro fairly easily.

How about the PNY 5600 Ultra for $99?

I'd take the pny for that price if it's a revision 2.

The one in your link is a revision 2 since it's clocked at 400/800. Just make sure the one you get is clocked those speeds and you should be fine. Revision 1 ultras are clocked at 350/700.

Edit: upon looking at the ad once again, I see that the picture of the box is a fx5800, which also come with a 400/800 clock speed. So, they may have the wrong information on the page. Hopefully the box at the store will say what clock speeds the card has.
