Hi nVidia fans!
The last time I bought a graphics card was nearly two years ago. It was the
GF4 Ti4600 4x. Back then it was *the* fastest card of all time and I loved
it ever since. Nowadays, I think it's getting a little old now and I do
experience the odd lag and drop in frame rates. I play games like UT2004,
C&C Generals to name a few and *will* definately get Doom 3 when it comes
out in August (?).
At the moment I'm considering whether it would be worth getting a GFFX
5900XT as it is the only *affordable* high-end card in the market at the
moment. The GF 6800 aka NV40 is out of the question with that price tag!
I prefer to play my games at or near the native resolution of 1280x1024
(yep, I have an LCD TFT 17''). The GF4 doesn't really like that resolution
maybe because it's bandwidth is capped at 4x.
So would a 5900XT give me a *good average* (preferably 75+) frame rate?

Sys specs:
Althon XP Barton 2600+ @333Mhz
1GB dual channel DDR SDRAM
nForce 2 Chipset
450W PSU
Games like (fast action):
UT2004
C&C Generals
Warcraft 3 RoC
Euro 2004 Portugal
....Doom 3...
preferably all at 1280x1024 32bit color.
