hey

Im getting one in a few days... check the performance (under GF FX 5900 XT) @ http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic...charts-13.html its not bad performance for the price it requires, it beats radeon 9700 most of the time even though the 9700 are more expensive. i've heard that eVGA fx5900se cards are easy to overclock too. i believe i made a good decision with this card, can't believe im still using a GeForce 2 MX400, lol

XFX Geforce FX 5900 128MB DDR AGP with TV-out & DVI - best bang for the buck. This one comes with 2.2ns DDR too.

EVGA is a decent company. I've used 2 of their cards in the past and they still work well today(GF4 Ti 4200s).

Just put a dual head GForce 4 Evga card in a buddy's comp as a budget card. Works fine driving his two garage sale monitors, lol.

I just got an evga 5900 today(non se) and this card is awsome. Although i am having diffculties running the dusk demo from nvidia, and have emailed evga asking them why the program gives me 2d ghosting after I play the demo. I will hoppfully here bakc from them friday witht eh answer. But over all, this card OC great and is a fast card. I would spent the extra money and get a non SE card though.

yes I was considering the XFX model
but I got the eVga for 184 shipped and it comes with Call of Duty (fully version, that game alone is worth $40)




Thanks

Hmm XFX may be up to something? Heard from some people that had that XFX and they didn't encounter any problems.
