Totally confused and NVidia site makes it even worse...
ok.. first of all what is the difference between 5900, 5700 and 5700 Ultra?
5700 Ultra seems to be the same price as 5900..., makes it even more
confusing :-(((
Secondly, is there 5800 ? I see it on eBay, but Nvidia site doesn't list
it....
Crap, do they always have to f**ck up the naming so badly...?

The FX5800 is the "old" 5900, its a nice card but ... design base it's
a bad card! And it's limited in performance

The FX5900 Non Ultra is a fast card... a very fast nice card :-)

The FX5700 Ultra is a budget fast card! It's build to be payable for
many people that don't want real budget material ( that is the FX5200
) yet want a nice fast card!

The FX5700 is the "new" FX5600, the FX5600 is a failed product, just
like the FX5800... muchos design failures.

So simple said the FX5700 Ultra and the FX5900 Non Ultra are both very
nice fast cards and a good choice to buy! Just **** the rest, ....
Ofcourse a FX5950 Ultra is even nice to have!
