The GFX 5600 U fc will smoke it. Not only that but it will also
beat a 9500 pro. Nvidia is poised to own this segment. This is
where most of the video card dollars are spent. Give it another
month for things to smooth out and all the manufactures come out
with their boards and watch this baby pick up where the ti4200 left
off.


really???

they seem pretty close to me, with a slight advantage going to the
9600Pro


You're missing one thing though, Both the above comparisons are against a FX
5600 Ultra *REV 1*, since then they've made changes like going to higher
core speed, higher ram speed, faster ram chips (think the rev1's used 2.5ns
whereas the rev 2 uses 2.2ns ram) and made the GPU a flipchip with higher oc
capability...
I think if you look for new reviews using other than reference design Rev 1
5600 Ultras you'll find the picture have changed...
