or just holding out and selling it on ebay and picking up a R360 once they come out? I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm keeping this card but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Any tips?

I vote for returning it and picking up a 9800 pro. Get a zalman + 80 mm fan to go with the 9800 pro and clock it up like mad. :) You'll be back to enjoying ATi quality AA with no hacks....

If you wanna buy a 9800 Pro, I got one for sale. Check my thread in the for sale forum. It's dirt cheap. :)

I didn't change my mind...I couldn't buy an Apple because I couldn't get any financing for it.

saturn, reserve the 9800 pro for me PLEASE... I think I might buy it from you... I just need to figure out what I can do with this 5900 Ultra first or what other info I can find out about the R360 in the next few days (till like monday or so). But I think I will most likely buy it from you, that sounds like a nice price.

Can do. However might you know by next weekend what you'd be willing to do? I can't wait too long because as you know, CC bills wait for no one. BTW, are you located in the USA? If not, PM me your country and I'll see about working out the shipping cost.

Edit: Let's communicate via PM from now on. I'll send you an initial message now and when you're ready to proceed with this, let me know.

Nope. The 5900 is mine. And it ain't an Ultra either. Just a vanilla 128 mb 5900. Those are the only cards available that don't follow the standard reference HSF design. I liked the Albatron because its blue LED lights and blue PCB match my blue case. And the card's a pretty decent performer to boot. :)
