The 5900 Ultra is struggling to pull 30 frames a second at 1024 res, so god help your 5600! nVidia have seriously dropped the ball when it comes to DX9 performance.

How can you pat a website? You can pat the screen or a paper with a page of the site on it, but you can't actually pat a website. :P Lol, sorry, I just had to...

I was thinking of this card. Where did you order from?

So you're saying that it wasn't plastered all over ATI.com for months? Have my eyes been deceiving me?

*pats ordered ATI 9600 pro*

Well, I've just placed my order for the game, and I'll let you lot know how my FX5600 copes with it! :)
