Upgrade Question

[Blaizer2]

Anyone know which is the better card...the new Nvidia FX series (52 or 5600) or the tried and true Ti4200?

5700 Ultra

5200 is garbage
5600 ultra is a good buy @ $98.99 if you get it at frys
5700 ultra is ok too but another few dollars will get you a 5900 which will blow the 5700 away

Actually for the same price as a 5700ultra you can get a 5900non ultra

but isnt the dx9 shader perf. of the 5900nu suspect as compared to ati 9600p and fx5700 ?

True, I'm sorry, 5900. Its just that they are so close in price and the performance difference is so large that I get confused. There really is no point in recommending and mid-range NV cards. All that matters are the 5900s. Not even the 5950s are that much of a difference from the 5900 Ultra. I would get the 5950 jus for the reall cool heatsink though.
