From koopz: old I know, but I just saw some ATI demos for the 9700... they work great on the Albatron 5900XT! (quite a nice card btw, although a little less grunty than the 5700U). There's mpeg versions of the demos for people who are interested, but don't have something that'll render them yet. The Animusic one is definately the pick of the bunch :) the link is here, there are a few more here although I'm out of time to test them with this card.
