Summary: Not as good as Radeon but still good for Nvidia fans!
Review: Attention! I don't have the exact same card as the one that I'm supposed to be reviewing right now but I have a pretty similar one. I have GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256mb 8x AGP card and it's pretty much the same only that Ultra versions run a bit faster and it is 256mb card. This is one of the newer cards that I own and it's great. Even though it is slower than the rival card, Radeon 9800 Pro, but this card is now a bit cheaper on eBAY and it runs almost the same as Radeon 9800 Pro. So you can buy a cheaper video card that performs almost equally as well as the new Radeon 9800 Pro. Also run games like Painkiller, Unreal Tournament 2003, or Quake 3 and this card will beat the Radeon 9800 Pro in frames per second. Not only that, look forward to the upcoming Doom 3 which is supproted by Nvidia Geforce chipsets unless you want to play Half Life 2, then get Radeon 9800 Pro. Those aren't the only reason why I chose this card over Radeon 9800 Pro though. I am also a big fan of the Nvidia and GeForce chipsets so I decided to get this over the Radeon 9800 Pro. Sadly, there are new video cards like GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, GeForce 6800 Ultra, Radeon 9800XT, and Radeon X800XT so both cards won't match up to the 4 extreme new cards if you want the most out of Half Life 2 or Doom 3 but both cards are still recommended depending on what games you play. And you don't even need those next generation cards yet because many games can be still even played on GeForce 2s or Radeon 8000s. But look forward to more upcoming cards from both Nvidia and ATI. This card is a must have but you should wait until it drops its' price even more.

Summary: Excellent Card
Review: I bought this card around Christmas time but i gotta admit, this card stacks up with the best of em. I can play all my games at 1024x768 with 8xaa and 8af without any problems. I can even play Doom 3 at 1024x768 on Ultra Settings at 60fps. If you're looking for a budget card i would get this, and if you're a hardcore gamer that wants the best performance i would still get this card.

Over the performance was out of this world and the price you cant beat, 5 stars.

Summary: Switch to "ATi 9800 Pro Series" ASAP !!
Review: I replaced my previous MSI 5600 FX with this card cuz
I thought "PNY 5900 128 MB" gonna give my games some "Magic"
but I just seen a little improvement and of course this not enough for a Crazy Gamer like me !!

I suggest to choose one of "ATi Radeon 9800 Pro" Series
cuz current nVidia FX Series not as good as ATi.

Finally, I gonna switch to ATi Products and my choice this time is "ATi 9800 Pro 128 MB" cuz this card like M*O*N*S*T*O*R moreover, its price so fair !!

Trust me dude !!
I'll not let you down :)

Summary: Awesome Video Card
Review: This product is awesome!

I upgraded from an nVidia GeForce 5200 to this card and the gains were amazing! In Star Wars Galaxies the fps gain was very substantial. I went from averaging a shakey, stop-start 10-20fps to almost always getting what most people have said is the max: a smooth 29fps. Even on the offline games I own I have seen a drastic increase in the quality of the 3d images that are splashed in front of me especially in higher resolutions. I can't wait until I get that shiny new LCD screen to watch them pop even more!

That being said, perhaps this may not be the case if you are already running a 5600, but if you have a 5600 then you can afford to make the leap up to a 5950 or wait until the next generation of cards come out. My personal opinion is to wait to jump at least two generations ahead when it comes to video card technology. That way you notice a sizeable difference in the quality of your picture and don't have to degrade a product because you don't have as good a perspective as you might. It helps keep the prices low too.
