Be happy with the card! I am sure that one day it will become as known
as the Voodoo cards... a "special" card!

You must have done something wrong. A 5700 Ultra will easily smoke any GF3.

I have bought seven nvidia based cards. I recently purchased a 5700
Ultra.
What a mistake that was. My old Geforce 3 ti 200 beats it in every game
test that I have. The Geforce 4200 that I have beats the 5700 Ultra by
about 25 to 40 percent in frames per second. I swallowed my pride and
bought an ATI 9800 Pro. The best card that I have had. It will take me
a
long time to go back to nividia based cards. Does any one else have this
problem? Thanks.
BTW. I have installed this 5700 Ultra in three different machines and
the
card acts the same in all three.

I replaced my Gforce 3 Ti500 with a 5700 Ultra and there is a big
performance increase, you sure you set it up right? I did buy a ATI 9600
before going to the 5700 and I am not saying there is anything wrong with
ATI cards but it wouldn`t run in mine or my 2 mates computers without
problems! even if it was faster than my 5700 which depends on the games your
playing I`d still stick with the 5700 cause it works all the time without
any system changes or messing about, plug it in turn on the comp and play
your games, the winner of the race is the most reliable not the fastest!

Bought a chaintech mb and it wouldn't boot up with my ti 500 in it, so
bought a eVGA 5700 Ultra, and it's blurry as heck! Worst test I've
ever seen, bar none.... I have tried every driver on the site and none
fix the problem, so thinking bad card.... bummer
