i think the graphics card will be better.

yes its slightly overclocked. I think at stock I got 4800, my card didn't overclock to well, my best score was at about 440/750. Higher than that I got artifacts and lower scores. My computer is pretty old so memory, pcu probably isn't helping (ino, ino 3dmark03 is all gpu :)

I have a dell and I love it. Haven't had one problem with it and the prices for Dells are great.

I know Nuke, the problem two fold, first he don't have enough power to run the radeon on a crappy 300w psu. Second, and where we need the help is, after taking the radeon out and putting back in the old nvidia card, now the nvidia doesn't work. He sent me a screenshot and it is all...

no- both are marketing hype

I live in Racine...

the dell 5100, 5150, 8600's are definetly upgradeable but I think the 1100 has integrated video so you'd be out of luck there.

well the 5900nu is faster but the 5900xt is cheaper.

I've been wanting to upgrade this computer for some time now. I use it mainly for gaming and it does ok for most games but Call of Duty and some of the more intense FPS games seem to bog it down. I had been considering the XP2500, NF7-S, 3200 or 3500 memory upgrade but now I'm wondering if I...

The best I've been able to hit on my 5900SE is about 450/800. I usually run it at 420/770. It runs Call of Duty nicely at either 1280x1024 (no aa or af) or 1024x768 with 2AA and 4AF so I'm happy. p.s. i'm running stock heatsink

I know I've posted this before but to me right now its a no brainer: <$200 = FX5900SE >$200 = R9800Pro (can be found for $250)

I think you have one kick ass machine that will be faster than 90% of computers for a few years. You just made one problem: telling these guys what you spent your money on.

I came to this forum a month ago to figure out what card I wanted to buy. I read reviews from numerous sites and made my choice. At the time I found it very interesting listening to everyone argue about this card vs that card but now its quite annoying. For every review saying one thing...

I bought the plantronics 90 from newegg = $23. Thanks for the advice. I look forward to killing you on the battlefield now :)

If midrange cards are what your looking at then get the 5900SE from newegg with Call of Duty. If you want higher performance get the 9800Pro for $250 (either find in on sale for that price or trade in a crappy vid card to ATI).

Last night I got to the end of the internet. It just stopped, it was done. Nice score - some may say its not legit but its still fast as %@#$.

5900SE = good

Can anyone recommend a good headset for Call of Duty and other similar games?

I think your wasting your money if you don't go for at least a 9700Pro. A 9800Pro can be found for $250, wait and save up for that if you want ATI. <200 = 5900SE with CoD while supplies last >200 = 9800Pro (best value high end card)

What I find interesting is that the 5600 played fine. Maybe everyone should go buy a 9800 series card before any other Direct x9 games come out, sheesh. And about Nvidia's software/optimizing and whatever else bullshit people spout off: per article that was referenced: "We still remember...

I'm not going to swap cards out to test these cards on the same system, but my FX5900SE on a 19" Orion CRT is soooo much cleaner and clearer than my roomates 9600Pro on a 17" Dell CRT that its ridiculous.

Depending on what reviews you read my FX5900SE is very comparable to a 9700Pro, and with Call of Duty factored in its about $100 cheaper.

I'm at 5052 on my SE version of the 5900; I'd say something isn't right with your setup, you should be 5500-6000 (just my guess).

SE = shitty edition in Radeon cards, not nvidia. FX5900SE beats the 5700 significantly in every benchmark I've seen.

I dunno this has been weird. This is my first overclocking experience so who knows what I'm screwing up. Several people have recommended upgrading the power supply because I have a generic 300W unit, so I ordered an Antec True480 a day or two ago from new egg so we'll see if that helps...
