Your card isn't an ati hd5670, it is about 75% as fast as an 8800gt (see my other post in response to you)

The 8800gt and 9800gt are the same card. Nvidia renamed it at the instance of the add board vendors and oems such as hp and dell so that there offerings would seem newer. Now eventually the 9800gt got a die shrink so some 9800gt run cooler than some 8800gt/9800gt.


I had a rough estimation, based on specs and eyeballing, but nothing exact. The 8800/9800 thing has always seemed funny to me. 9800s seem more prevalent, so it's why I brought it up. Always good to hear the ATI comparisons from someone into them. I've been an Nvidia guy, which is another reason I haven't upgraded in 3 years. (not as bad as the FX years, though... I held on to my 4400 for a looong time)
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.
