FX5800 or 9700PRO

well for features i reckon the 9700Pro is the way to go for me. Although i havent seen or been able to find any reviews of the non ultra benchmarks were included in the tomshardware review of the 9800Pro and to me the ATI seemed to have the upperhand without any noisy cooling solution. I...

FX5800 or TI4600(4800)??

Not sure but as far as i am aware the fx (non ultra) doesnt have the vacuum cleaner on it. The ultra runs very hot and hence needs the extra cooling, but i dont think this is the case for the standard fx. Dont flame me if i am wrong its just what i heard. James

FX5800 or 9700PRO

Seems to me as if nvidia have had to overclock their chip in order to make it outperform the 9700pro and hence the vacuum cleaner on top of it to try to keep it cool. The non ultra seems more indicative of what the chip is actually capable of as i understand this does not have a small hurricane...
