u think i should get rid of my 5900 Ultra 256MB and get a 6800 original? i can sell the 5900U for $200 and get the 6800 $100 extra. is this worth it?
 
Why are you going to upgrade!?!??! That is a sick card and is on par with my 9800 pro. How about... can I trade you my 9800 pro for your ultra? How about it! :)
 
You could flash it to a 5950, and overclock the hell out of it, then sell it as an overclocked card for more $$.

I don't think it's REALLY worth it, but you can if you want :p
 
umm, its ok, id rather have the 5900U than a 9800P.

the 5900U just isnt as fast as the 6800NU. in the tests on hardocp site, they say im only able to play doom3 at 1024x768 high detail (but it can drop to 22 fps). if i get the 6800, i am able to paly it on 1600x1200 high detail (at that res, it drops to like 26), but its at THAT RES..... what should i do???

im so close to getting the 6800 now....
