5700 Ultra or 5900 Standard

Which one?

Both cost about £150-£170

We are talking bog standard version of the 5900 not ultra or anything else
but just plain old vanilla flaavour?

WIll be mainly used to play Battlefield 1942 with Athlon xp1600+

Cheers

Hi Mike - I am curious to know please where in the UK you discovered the
5900 for 150/170 quid. Whose name is on the board, is it retail packed and
is it definitely not the XT or SE?

Many thanks

Pete

XT/SE (Love Nvidias confusion?) are slightly slower than the plan
5900... and still noticably faster than the fx5700Ultra.

Its a wonder they even bothered with the 5700 at all.

I saw it on dabs

At the time it was an XT model by Abit but now they seem to have a plain one
by MSI for 175.00

Prob best to phone up and confirm though

Thanks Mike for the update. I think that is the best price I've now seen
this side of the Atlantic.

Mind you, if you are planning to visit the US or if you know someone who
can post you one, you can pick up a vanilla 5900 for around $200 or £110
(at current exchange rates). I think I will do so when I visit the US in a
couple of months.

Thanks again for the information and I will let you know if I spot it at a
better price here in the UK.

All the best

Pete
