I find Nvidia way more reliable and its better in the benchmarks so i would say to get the 5700

Nvidia is not better in the benchmarks. At least not overall. Read adams topic. There (http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html) The 5700 Wins there.

The 5700 U may be a wise choice. I would still say the best price/performance is the 9700 Pro for $202. The 9700 Pro will definately outperform the 5700 U.

Edit: And after reviewing the current asking price for the 5700 Ultra, I conclude that the 9700 Pro is definately a better buy (they want over $200 for it).

Get the 9700Pro. Its $20 more then the cheapest 5700Ultra, and its much better.
