I have an FX 5900 and I can honestly say that it has worked great so far. I've been playing Tron 2.0 with everything cranked up graphicly and haven't seen a framerate or visual problem yet.
Of course I realize Tron 2.0 is no Half Life 2, "graphically speaking", so I am still concerned about the performance I will see in HL2. Being an old schooler, I purchased every card 3dfx made up until the geforce came out. Ever since I have used Nvidia cards. I can honestly say that if I get screwed over on this $400 purchase, I will never buy from nVidia again no matter what products they come out with in the future. Not only that, but I vow to take my Mossberg 590 Tactical Shotgun and my mini DV camera out to the desert here in Vegas where I will record myself vaporizing this 5900. I will then use my video editing skills to produce a nice little presentation on the whole deal, and why I will never puchase from nVidia again.
Sure, I will do this at the risk of looking like a whiner, but it will still be fun, and Im betting it will be passed around the gaming community like wildfire.....thus getting my message out there. I will be out $400, and I will have to spend another $400 or so for an ATI, but it will be well worth taking a stand.
I'm tired of getting boffed by nearly every company out there. There is more greed, corruption, and pure stupdity then any other time in history. People can't get my god damned fast food order right, nor can they send me WORKING computer parts. sick of it I'm sick of it sasklaru eor avweropiuv be;orpu eporu n[eawipour nP[WRU VW[AUEIPR AW[UPEIR[APE[POVU[WOAUR[OI R

He cut the possum's face off then cut around the eye socket. In the center of the belt buckle, where the possum's eye would be, he has placed a small piece of wood from his old '52 Ford's home made railroad tie bumper. Damn, he misses that truck.
