the 5900XT is a very good card, basicly about twice as fast as the 5700 (5900XT has twice the rendering pipelines and 256-bit memory compared to the 5700's 128-bit memory). if you can get it at that price, it's a VERY good deal. however, you will need a good PSU to run it, at least a good quality 350W. oh, and make sure your case is big enough, as it's rather long [img]smile.gif[/img] .
so, if your PSU and case are up to it, take the 5900XT. it will run not only the games you listed but upcoming titles like doom3, half-life 2, stalker... games the 5700 will more or less strugle with.
