My 5700 ultra is really fun.

My set up is
2500 athlon xp moble @ 2520mhz
1 Gig Kingston HX 2700 @180fsb(2,2,2,5)
5700ultra 128 meg @ 650/1.04 (mem&core volt mod)

I like being the under dog :)

3dmark2003 -=5065=-

Try running WITHOUT a hacked driver. That'll actually give the test some meaning.
 
Yeah, and sorry to say a 5700ultra is a 4 pipeline card. I wouldn't use that thing in word.
 
The 9700 would only really be compared to the 5900NU or Ultra, or the 5800U at least. I had a 9700pro and have a 5800NU at Ultra speeds and the 9700 pro was still a better real world gaming card regardless of any scores by hacked drivers. The only reason I got the 5800 was because it was $120 and it was new in box 4 months ago. If you want NV al least get a 5900XT, in the $160-180 range I believe.
 
ok, it is settled then, i will get the 9700 pro, hopefully for less than 150..
 
Wow! I "almost" got the 5700!!!

Now, I'm getting the 6800GT :)

Hail the forums! Hail the members! Hail all those who saved my $$$
Hail hail !!

Yes, I'm saving up for a couple of months and then I'll get one. Right now I have my buddy's 9600 to get by.
 
i'd still rather have a 9600pro.

5700ultra 128 meg @ 650/1.04 (mem&core volt mod)

WHOA what a OC! too bad you still only get 5065 with hacked drivers. i'd say about 3500-4000 on real drivers would be about right.

Wouldnt a 5700U with a clock like that beat a 9600?

i think a well OC'd 9600pro would pull in about 4000-4300 judging by what i've seen others post on these forums.

so i guess, with hacked drivers you could say that a 5700 vmodded and oc'd to hell and back could beat a normally OC'd 9600pro in a synthetic benchmark. put certified drivers on the 5700, and i'm sure its score will fall to at or below a 9600pro.

regardless, i know what i would prefer in day to day gaming. the IQ on the 9600 will blow away the 5700.
 
My 600/369 9600XT gets 4005 on 3dmark02, but my CPU is not overclocked at all. I've seen guys pushing 700/500 with their 9600's though. I don't know how they do it.
