I'm not sure you have much to gain atm from a 5900XT. I would go for a 6800GT or a 6600GT personally, if I were to upgrade form something like a 5900XT.

Definitely only worth the upgrade if you go for a 6800GT or X800 Pro, otherwise you'll be wasting your money.

Vanilla 6800 would probably be a worthy upgrade, but best to save your cash and thake lancelot's advice.

If you are willing to softmod the card, you could look into Unwinder's softmod in Rivatuner, discussed over at guru3D.

There have been mixed success reports, depending on card vendor etc, but if you were successful in unlocking the masked pixel unit and vertex unit, the 6800 offers quite a saving over the GT or Ultra (assuming the extra pipelines don't reveal unwanted artifacts).
