FX 5600 based cards?
I was considering a Ti4200 based card but it seems nobody sells the one
I want so now I'm looking at the FX 5600 based ones. The Asus 9560 cards have dual DVI connectors so that's one thing I'm looking for (and a variable speed fan = lower noise). It seems that the Ti440 based cards get higher frame rates except when using anti-aliasing. I suppose that's fine since I'd want anti-aliasing and a good image over "high frame rates". Has anyone here used a FX 5600 based card? All anyone talks about in reviews is overclocking and frame rates. What about stability, low noise and image quality? --Keith |

Keith Still doesn't change the fact that in most situations the 9600 pro wipes the floor from that card even by the own admissions of the benchmarks on that page. However, I must admit that with the features etc the MSI is tempting me... |

The 5600 Ultra flipchip smokes the 9600 pro. And then it wipes the floor

What's more important is Linux support as well as Windows and nVidia really shines there, more than ATI. So "fastest" doesn't help me if it doesn't have good Linux support as I use both Windows and Linux. Keith |

Who else makes cards based on this chip - for under $200, because that's my absolute upper limit for a new card. Otherwise a regular 5600 will probably be fine. I'm not entering any contests, I don't care if my system has better benchmarks than someone else's, I just want it to work. Thanks, Keith "tHatDudeUK" wrote in message ...
