Have had Nvidia from day one of my PC life and they have served me well so
gonna stick to what I know. Have heard there are driver issues with ATI.

Have not considered the 5900 to be honest as I have read that the fans are
quite noisy. I might consider it now though depends what power requirements
are for it though think it might need a 350w power supply

Thanks though - anyone else have any comments?

You can also get an FX5900 for the same price these days, it is much
better
than the FX5700.

I recently tried a FX5700 Ultra and a FX5900 (Standard) and the FX5900 was
much better.

Have you considered the ATI Radeon 9600 series ?

Ok thanks. I checked all over but nothing. Lets say its 300w.

Will that be enough?

Thanks

Ok up until 30minutes ago I was prepared to buy a Gainward
Geforce
FX5700
Ultra 128mb.

I notice that Gainward suggest a PSU of 300w.

I just opened up my case to check my PSU and also that I have
space
for
this
rather large card.

Space isn't a problem however my PSU shows no model name,
number,
power
rating, nothing.

I bought this PC early 2002 from Simply Computers.

Athlon XP1600+
Geforce2 Ti 64mb
2 sticks of 256mb pc2100 RAM
40gb HD
Creative Live 5.1 soundcard
DVD Rom
CD-RW
External USB port with its own mains power supply
MSI KT7 6380 Pro2 Motherboard
Win XP Home

At the mo everything runs fine, no probs whatsoever.

I know the FX5700 needs its own power supply.

Will I have power problems when I put this new card in to
replace
the
g2
Ti?
Anyone know the watts this card uses?

Many many thanks

Mike







All PSUs will have their specifications on a label somewhere on
their
outer
casing, iff you can't see it, it could be on the other side and
the
easiest
way to check is to phyisically remove it.





Very unusual for a PSU not to have it's specs printed on it.

300W should be enough, but if you encounter problems then you will now
either way.

How much you paying for the FX5700 ?
