The FX 5600 is a midlevel accelerator which can soon fall down to the low-end sector because the production cost of such cards is not great, and almost all NVIDIA's partners are engaged in production of such cards. Besides, Chinese firms are also ready to start their mass production.
By the end of the summer the prices can fall down to $110-120 (no one knows yet what will happen to the 5200 Ultra which have a higher cost price and lower performance).
Is the GeForce FX 5600 worth buying? Once again, if you have a card of the GeForce4 Ti level, it doesn't make sense to replace it with this accelerator; but if you are only choosing between the RADEON 9600, GeForce4 Ti 4200 and FX 5600, you should remember that the FX 5600 loses to the GeForce4 Ti 4200 if the anisotropy and AA are not enabled, but wins with them.
