Nvidia's naming is wacky for these two. It's not very clear that they
don't make a 5900 Ultra in 128MB. Rather, the 5900 is the 128MB, and
the 5900 Ultra is the 256MB. got it.

so now - who has compared these two? i see that i can get an eVGA
5900 128MB for $300 shipped (the price just dropped about $50 in the
last week).

the 5900 Ultras are running just over $400 shipped online.

is 50MHz more clock speed and 128MB more RAM worth it the extra
$100-$125?

Mainly, I just want Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 to be kickass at 1280x1024
with AA, AF and full everything. my wallet is leaning towards the
128MB 5900..

anybody have any online comparison of the two in terms of benchmarks?

thanks..
