5700 ultra vs. geforce3 ti200
Is it worth it to upgrade from a geforce3 ti200, to the Nvidia Geforce FX
5700 Ultra? Will I see much of a difference in games like Q3? I also want to be prepared for doom3. I have a P4 2.6 ghz processor, with 1 gb of DDR 400 mhz ram. Running at 800 FSB on the Asus p4p800 motherboard. Presently I get about 208 fps on the time demo of demo four on Quake 3 (version 1.32) -- at high quality settings (1024 x 768). Will a 5700 Ultra be worth the upgrade, or should I wait until the next generation is released. Would some ATI card be better? |

Mmm, maybe the 5900 XT or the Non Pro is better... though I have more idea into the Non Pro. Ati cards, well possible... but for that you has to ask in the ati newsgroup. You got a nice set up, I guess the FX5700 Ultra will be nice, How Doom 3 runs.... untill doom 3 actually is out on the shells nobody knows! |
Well I'm hoping to spend no more than roughly $200 (U.S.) or so on a video
card. So I thought my options (for best performance) would pretty much be the 5700 Ultra (or the Radeon 9600 XT). Am I wrong? "Dark Avenger" wrote in message om... "Eric" wrote in message ...

Eric,
i`ve just took delivery of the MSI FX5700 Ultra today, and i`ve just replaced my GeForce 3 TI500, I can tell you the 5700 Ultra, rocks, I`m playing KOTOR, and i`ve upped the details, and they look ace, little things like lighting effects and stuff look much better, also NeverWinter Nights look better too, the spell effects and stuff. I think the 128 memory makes a difference too. The card installed easy and so did the software. Been checking out a few games that i play, like Morrowing, NHL, and Prince of Persia is real ye candy :) everything looks smoother, and ingame video clips look better too for some reaso, especially in KOTOR. good luck.

I have a similar setup and am about to upgrade from a FX5600U to a FX5900XT
based on some of the latest reviews on the net. I would probably have bought the 5700U when it came out had I not jumped on the 5600U a few months earlier. Need to compare the latest prices on all. The Nvidia "Call of Duty" bundle on the 5900 is what "did" me in!

Good choice, both the FX5700 Ultra and the 9600XT are damn potent, some alpha leaks of HL2 even hint that it probably plays very nice on those cards! |

I'm confused with all the nvidia names: 5900 ultra; 5900 xt ; 5950

Ati : XT = FAST Nvidia: XT ( SE ) = Slow, mostly with cripled memory bandwidth So from slow to fast 5900SE (xt ) 5900 5900 Ultra 5950 Ultra |

Shows what crap the 5600 and 5700s are that ARE STILL selling for $175~200!!! -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!! |
