Eye Candy

Raise your AA and Aniso to the max... and see the beauty!

The card probably still runs pretty fine with everything maxed out!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Super high resolutions (if your monitor can take it)

I have an FX 5950 Ultra, too! Great card especially when you use linux
OS, too! Try the Far Cry singleplayer demo. That should be enough work
for your card for the beginning

Actually, the Far Cry demo works just fine @ 1280*960 with everything
maxed, including AA on a FX5900 non-Turbo. Nothing to really slow the
card down, since there are no fog/atmospheric-shimmer effects.

Fun demo. Lovely scenery. The AI is limp in places, even in Hard mode.
