Yeah that (the s/w bundle) is going to be the main diff with the high end
cards from what I've been able to tell otherwise just luck of the draw as to
how much this or that one oc's

I am thinking of either getting the Gainward 1200xp Golden Sample FX5900
128mb Vivo video card, or the MSI FX5900 128mb Vivo card.

ANyone have any recommendations?

I've read the Gainward in one review could reach 498/900 speeds, and the
MSI
could reach 500/1000.
Funny since the Gainward are labelled "Golden Sample" you would think
they
would clock higher

All the 5900 cards are maufactured by the same vendor. the only
difference is
the sellers chage the fan and the acessories you get with the card you
buy.
it's the luck of the draw on how they overclock.
I am going to get the Gainward card myself..
