    Ok I have figured out that my video card is the reason that my games keep crashing. Now I just sent it back to newegg......the only problem is they dont seem to make or carry the 5900ultra any more. It says on the sight that they will try and find a suitible replacment or give a refund in the case that they do not have the item. What if they try and give me a 5900 se or xt how do these cards compare in power to what i had? And how much money is it worth if they refund it I paid $396 for it back then. Maby they will try and give a 9800 pro or about what they retail for thats about the same right.

    I would say a 5900XT (not SE, it's the lesser version) or a Radeon 9800 Pro (with 256-bit memory bus) would be a fair trade for a 5900 Ultra. Also, why is Newegg handling the return? I would think the card manufacturer should deal with it since it has probably been more than a month since you bought it...

    On the evga site it said to see if the store would take if back before the rma to them. I ignored that and tryed to get the egva site to rma it but it seems there was a broken link i clicked next after entering my info but the page wouldnt load so i tryed this several times through out the night and finally just went to newegg and requested a rma for it and it was approved.
