The Ultra scores better in some raw power tests, but the Radeon 9800 Pro is the better card as it can handle DX9 better which on the 5900 has to be cut down and doesn't run as well or look as good.

Basically, the 5900 will be a bit faster with old games, but the 9800 is better for future games and will be faster on them.

See if you can get the Radeon 9800 TX as it is a bit faster than the 5900 which will pretty much eliminate the old game gap completely, leaving no reason to get the 5900.
