gday,

I'm wanting to purchase a new graphics card and I can see two viable options for my wallet. Either a Leadtek A360 5700 non ultra 256mg or the albatross 5900xt 128mg.

All I can seem to find are benchtests with a fx 5700 128mg versus the 5900xt 128mg. I'm wondering if the 5900xt would be a better card even though it has 128mg less of ram than the 5700. Specially for the extra AU$60s.

Also, if anybody here uses linux and these cards there opinions would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance,
Bryan.
