Opinions on the GeForce FX 5600 256 DDR?
Is it worth buying for $140?
Need something to replace my current video card.
And, I'm a hardcore gamer, but not ready to shell out $400 for a FX 5900 Ultra.
Thanks,
Bryan

I dunno about the 5600. Try to find the video card reviews at hardocp.com
I remember there was a released card by nVidia that was crap. It couldn't even beat a card that had been released 6 months earlier.

MSI make very decent quality video cards for the mainstream gamer. Gainward are more oriented for the over-clocking crowd, which I don't subscribe to. NVidia chips on the whole are very stable, very efficient and in my opinion a good buy.
As for the GFFX 5600, I have no idea what it's performance is because I have never used one, although I have played on a computer running a 5900 Ultra with all the hardware features turned on and there was a little pool of drool under the chair. It's SWEET.
If you're being financially concious, you could always stay in GeForce 4 territory and be happy for years to come ^_^

I bought the Gainward GeForce FX 5600 256 DDR for $145 last weekend and have it driving a 21" Samsung flat panel (1600x1200). So far, it has been great. I'm not a hardcore gamer though - more for digital photography, video editing, etc.
