I'm confused with all the nvidia names: 5900 ultra; 5900 xt ; 5950

What is the diff between 5900 ultra and 5900xt?

Is it worth it to upgrade from a geforce3 ti200, to the Nvidia Geforce FX
5700 Ultra?


Yes kinda... but the 5900xt would be better

Will I see much of a difference in games like Q3? I also want to be
prepared for doom3.

I have a P4 2.6 ghz processor, with 1 gb of DDR 400 mhz ram. Running at
800 FSB on the Asus p4p800 motherboard.

Presently I get about 208 fps on the time demo of demo four on Quake 3
(version 1.32) -- at high quality settings (1024 x 768).

Will a 5700 Ultra be worth the upgrade, or should I wait until the next
generation is released.


As you posted about $200 limt... the the 5900XT is about the same
price $185~220. and smokes it... look he
