Geforce FX 5900 for $169.00 -- is this for real ???
Is this legitimate, or is this some lower level 5900 card (ie., xt or SE
something like that). Is BFG a good brand for the 5900? Here is the link: http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage....k=searchViewed |

The SE/SP/XT has slower clocks. Check out the price he http://shop.harddrive.com/cgi-bin/it...01230 9321182 Have a great day, Albert |

Their ad specifically notes the speeds as regular 5900. The SE/SP/XT has slower clocks. Yes, but SE/SP are normal non-Ultra models, while XT is REALLY slow. |

MSI SP is clocked slower and has slower ram than their plain normal non-Ultra MSI 5900. SP version has 2.8ns RAMs and the memory clock was @ 750MHz while the TD was @ 2.6ns for 850MHz and Ultra @ 2.2ns for 850MHz Have a great day, Albert |

No. The 9700 Pro beats the 5900 SE/SP/XT in most games by a little. It
really depends on the game though. Dave "MheAd" wrote in message news:GZpQb.1125$O41.64154@amstwist00... Ah, okay, but those 5900 cards (SP/SE) still beat Radeon 9700PRO, don't they? |
