You have 100 mhz on me with your cpu.
You can get 6400+ with that setup.

I must agree. :mad:

So it's not as fast as a 9800. So what. It's still a very nice and fast
card.
Plus I like something that everyone and his brother does not have.
Well, it's a Ultra. :)

A Review about this crap card...

To tell you the truth i thought so as well when i bough it but since then the card is only getting better with the release of the new drivers.I tell you it flies and before this i tried a 9700 pro and i tell you there were some games where the game would just send me back to the desktop because of the card compatilability,but not with FX Ultra doesn't matter what i throw at it it plays everything.I must admit that the AA is not the best but with 1600x1200 resolution even without the AA everything looks so crisp,plus with the speed of the core and memory it is only a matter of time before some drivers are made specially for this line of cards,heres hoping that the 50xxxx detonators will be.So all i say to those people that keep bagging this card is ,i have one and i'm very happy with it so if you don't like it don't buy it.Thanks thats my 2bob worth.

I for my own personally bought a HERCULES 9800 Pro. A nice Card and fast however like my previous Card the HIS 9700Pro no Problems.

I have read so many Reviews abaout the ASUS 5800Ultra Card ~ (i prefer normally ASUS Cards,Motherboards)
But the Reviews speak for himself (all).

should have gotten a voodoo 5 6000 :D

"Sadly for Asus the V9900 Ultra massively underperforms. The NV30 has been a complete mess for NVIDIA and one wonders why it's being rolled out with performance that is clearly substandard when anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are enabled. When we looked at the MSI Geforce FX 5800 Ultra, we saw a card that is quite capable when FSAA and AF are disabled, and with the V9900 Ultra it is the same story, as shown by the Unreal Tournament 2003 results." from ukgamer

who in the hell would want a $400 card that you have to disable aa and af??

doom3 and future games.. will we be playing doom3 with aa and af? i doubt that. plus the geforcefx ultra is faster than the radeon cards with high resolution with little or no aa.

[dude]

Once Half Life 2 and Doom 3 comes out and i play them i will let you know how the card does ,by this time new drivers should be out too so we will wait and see.But i'll tell you this everybody have their own taste ,i tried the Ati cards 9700pro and i did not like them to me the picture where not as crisp as the Nvidia cards .

I've been using a GeForce FX 5600 Ultra and 5200 Ultra and haven't found it necessary to disable those features.

There are a number of games that are playable at 1024x768 with 2X AA and 8X Aniso on the 5600 Ultra. They include RTCW, Warcraft 3, Dungeon Siege, Raven Shield, and IL2-Sturmovik.

[skoprowski]

Unfortunately that doesn't include any UT2003 based engine games. My BFG 5600 256meg just choked in the Unreal based games at 1024 x 768 with any AA or Anis setting with a Barton 2500.

How can you check the FPS on Unreal Tournament? Thanks.
