I'm thinking about getting this card (Gforce FX 5600 (256 mb) )but have heard some bad things about noisy fans and screensaver problems with to it.
Do all brands of this card have the same noisy fan?
I have always had a display problem\incompatability of some sort with all the ATI brand video cards I've ever owned (7 in all) but in most cases it was always something I could work out or around. On the other hand I have never had a single problem or hassle of any kind with any Nvidia based card I have owned (3 in all). I'm just curious what exactly is happening with those that are having problems with the same card I'm planning on buying and if you were able to get it to work right.
One more question for those that keep up on video card specs. What ATI card would be comparable to the Gforce FX 5600 (256 mb) in graphics speed? I'm guessing a 9500 or 9700 PRO maybe.
