WTF does "XT" mean? seems like every once in a while, several companies all jump on a bandwagon by using the same abbreviation on their products--

like Nvidia named their budget cards "MX," then Macromedia named their 2001/2002 series of programs "MX," then Logitech releases mice with the abbreviation "MX"... what the hell is MX?

now it's "XT"... i can't wait to see what other XT stuff comes down the pipe...

btw if you are talking about the so-called nvidia 5900XT.... this is wrong.... xt doesnt exist in this case.... users just used it for them to better understand and compare it to ati.... the actual name of nvidia's card is 5900SE

*The NV35 graphics chip renders four conventional (color + Z) pixels per clock, but is capable of performing 8 operations per clock for Z pixels, textures, and stencil and shader ops.

and some of the ones i found on newegg have 8 pixel pipelines

Heres a gainward one....

yea but ppl think that jus because EVERYONE has a 9600xt and it runs good and shit....they should buy it..... i already said the regular 5900 is 200 dollars the most.... why not get that if its in price range&#33;

[Mr. Elmo]

heres a reviewof the 5900se compare to the 9800pro and 9600xt....the 9800pro would beat it in almost everytest....but not by much...the 9800pro also cost much more...but the 5900se beats the 9600xt in every test.
