The Radeon 9800 Pro is probably better than the FX 5900 and 5950 Ultra, especially when looking at most of the benchmarks on http://www.tomshardware.com
I need a new video card, and personally, i think the 9800 pro is the best out right now, so im going to get it soon as a replacement for my 9600 XT..........
I have been looking at some other benchmark stuff and some of them shoowed the 9800XT was better than 5950Ultra and some the opposite i think that there is not much differense though i would always go with the Nvidia.
