The 5600 is a bit slower, the 5600 Ultra is about the same from personal
experience. It's a different chip obviously, and will be faster at some
things, and slower at others. The 5600 does have DX9 and Pixel Shader 2.0
support, however...

That being said, 5700Ultra or one of the 5900XT's is a better bet.

5900XT would be a step up.

The 5600 is significantly slower than the ti4200.
The 5700 is about the same speed.
Try and spent a few extra £/$ to get the 5700 Ultra or the 5900 so you
can justify the expense by getting extra speed, not just dx9 compatibility

Thanks again for all the advice. I got a 5900 xt, and it really is rather
nice.

Cheers

For some reason the 5600 seemed to get alot of knocks - they say it is
slow etc. When I bought mine the reviews were favourable in that it was
fair speedy with all the ins and outs I needed, and a good price.

Since fitting it has run like a charm, does everything right, and I like
it. But they say the 5700 does all that and is faster
