nVidia has released their new 5900xt (some call it a 5900se).

look for reviews, as this card fucks the 5700ultra and the 9600XT up their tiny little 4-pin molex connectors.

why is this card so good? three words (or 2 words and a number): 8-pixel pipeline

this card beats the 9600xt in almost EVERYTHING BY AT LEAST 50% whats more, its priced at 200 bucks.

one last thing, the cooling system for this chip couldnt be better. its actually a 1-slot solution on most cards!!! (perfect for shuttle SFF and AMS E-Cube owners!)

cards it lays down the shithole: 9700pro, 9500pro, 9600xt, 5700ultra, 5900 (non-pro)... you get the picture

search for it. not sure if its out yet but if it is ATI better have a counter otherwise they just got dethroned from their newly-achieved position

actually, heres a good review (http://techreport.com/reviews/2003q4/geforcefx-5900xt/index.x?pg=1)

There is no way a 5900SE beats a 5900. Its supposed to be worse. I also doubt it "fucks" a 9700Pro

And it doesnt beat a 9800XT, so they still got there position.

well said. look at the price difference and the history of nvidia card compared to ati's. the 9700pro is a very high end card. not as high as 9800xt but still pretty high. this new card is an enhancement from an older model. no way it can beat the 9700pro. where do u get these stats? from ur head or from actual tests?

this is a midrange card not an enthusiasts card

On the whole first page of benchmarks the 9600xt whoops ass. On the gaming benchmarks the 5900SE does better.

THERE IS NO 9700PRO, 9500PRO, or 5900NON PRO ON THERE. HOW CAN YOU SAY ITS BETTER WHEN THEY DONT COMPARE THOSE CARDS.

if this is a midranged card, how can it beat a high end card like the 9700pro?

bigdawgfoxx
12-28-2003, 05:38 AM
Yeah, which you say it DID beat, but there are no benchmarks that have the 9700Pro in it. The 9700Pro WHOOPS this things ass I can tell you without any benchies

@atividia: what a shitface how do u know this did u try it out&#33;?&#33;

exactly. i&#39;m thinking of getting a 9700pro or a 9800pro. it all depends on how well i do on ebay

the 9800se is 4 pipeline. get the 9600xt or the 9700pro

Get the 9500Pro, or 9700Pro, only &#036;30 bux more then the 9500 pro. &#036;230 on newegg. GET THE 9700Pro.

I still want to know how he thinks that card beats a 9700Pro and 9500Pro and a 5900non pro...did he just make that up?

OMG the damn thing has 4 Pipelines you dumbass.

eVGA&#39;s GeForce FX 5900 SE
Don&#39;t let its name fool you. eVGA&#39;s GeForce FX 5900 SE is very much a 5900 XT. NVIDIA&#39;s partners are free to name cards as they please, and most will be using the GeForce FX 5900 XT name. All GeForce FX 5900 XT cards should share the same core and memory clock speeds, and similar board layouts and memory configurations. Here are the specs on eVGA&#39;s GeForce FX 5900 SE:

GPU NVIDIA NV35
Core clock 400MHz
Pixel pipelines 4
Peak pixel fill rate 1600 Mpixels/s
Texture units/pixel pipeline 2
Textures per clock 8
Peak texel fill rate 3200 Mtexels/s
Memory clock 700MHz
Memory type BGA DDR2 SDRAM
Memory bus width 256-bit
Peak memory bandwidth 22.4GB/s
Ports VGA, DVI, composite and S-Video outputs
Auxiliary power connector 4-pin Molex

Not really, its a budget card, probably really comparable performance to my MX 440 in my sig actually. Google for benchmarks on it.

He says it flushes those cards down the drain, which are WAY better then it...it doesnt even have the 9700Pro or 5900non ultra in the benchmarks&#33; How would a card purposly made to be worse then the 5900non ultra, beat it? lol

And 8 pixel pipelines? This moron needs to read, it cleary says that it has 4&#33; damn

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? :huh:

now it&#39;s "XT"... i can&#39;t wait to see what other XT stuff comes down the pipe... :huh: :blink: :huh: :blink:

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&#39;s card is 5900SE

bigdawg...did u read the whole thing b4 jumping to conclusiong?


*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....


Specifications:
Chipset: GeForce FX 5900SE
Memory: 128MB 2.8ns 256-bit DDR Memory (350MHz clock - 700MHz effective)
Bus: AGP 8X/AGP 4X Compatibility
PC 99 DB-15 analog connector (VESA DDC2B + DPMS)
DVI Connector for Analog/Digital Display
Integrated NVIDIA TV Encoder for TV-Out
22.4 GB per second memory bandwidth
NVIDIA CineFX™ 2.0 Engine
NVIDIA Intellisample™ HCT Engine
8 pixels per clock rendering engine


its 185 dollars....and not the last specification....8 pixels per clock rendering engine

heres a review (http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/evga_e-geforce_fx_5900_xt_review/page9.asp)of 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.

heres (http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/gffx/gffx-27.html)a review at digitlife comparing them to the 9800 non pro...

oh, and btw, if the 5900se were to be pair up w/ the 9700pro, i say 5900se would win...cuz its not losing by much comparing to the 9800pro

yeah well right here it cleary says it has 4..thats why

GeForce FX 5900 XT 400 4Pipelines 1600 2 3200 700 256 22.4

And he said it whooped all these cards when it doesnt even compare those cards. And how the hell would it beat a 5900Non pro..when its made to be worse...

DWk
12-28-2003, 10:24 PM
who says it doesnt have 4 pipelines? when its up to results (of benchies), it doesnt matter which way you get there (4 or 8 pipelines), but that you get there (scoring higher)....

its not a 5900XT can u get that in ur head? its 5900 SE SE SE SE SE SE on the contrary of ati&#39;s "version" of XT, nvidias SE (or xt, if its easier for your brain) is the downgrade of the 5900....although it runs just as fine

That looks kinda fishy to me...i dont think there is anyway that a nvidia could be a 9800Pro at such high resolutions and stuff...that just seems weird....ati always wins in high resolutions <_<

Mr. Elmo
12-28-2003, 10:26 PM
it clearly says it was capable of 8 piplines too...
And he said it whooped all these cards when it doesnt even compare those cards. And how the hell would it beat a 5900Non pro..when its made to be worse...

your point being.....


just cuz of the card being an "se" doesnt mean it cant beat the 5900...and besides, it only beat the thing in some test, and the diff. wernt even noticeable


That looks kinda fishy to me...i dont think there is anyway that a nvidia could be a 9800Pro at such high resolutions and stuff...that just seems weird....ati always wins in high resolutions

OMG.....stubborn ppl....and you were saying atividia work for nvidia???? just cuz it wins in the past doesnt mean it will keep winning...and btw, the only time when the 9800pro got beat was in splinter cell....

DWk
12-28-2003, 10:33 PM
bigdawg....im really disappointed in the fact that you keep with ur stubbornness.... thinking you have the best card around (for the price range, that is)....

im not gonna try telling you the contrary.... the 30-page thread devoted to a single pc is somewhat extreme for a regular person, so i dont wanna start another one with a stubborn know-it-all kid like you

btw...forgot to mention that the 5900 is highly overclockable :D


GeForce FX 5900 XT core: Despite the early rumors regarding GeForce FX 5900 Value, NVIDIA’s GeForce FX 5900 XT GPU is not a crippled graphics core. In fact it boasts all the features of the more senior GeForce FX 5900 chips, including their 256-bit memory interface. And since the core clock remains at 400MHz, fill rate is identical with the GeForce FX 5900 128MB.

That’s why it baffles us why NVIDIA and its board partners opted for the “SE” designation for these cards, ripped straight from ATI. Enthusiasts have come up with all kinds of clever names for these ATI boards; we’ll stick with the censored versions of Stupid Edition and Slow Edition. Enthusiasts know to avoid the letters SE like the plague, but in the case of the e-GeForce FX 5900 SE, we’re looking at quite a capable card here.

from the review ;)

If you guys haven&#39;t noticed, you can&#39;t seem to find a review that says a card is bad.

Basically reviewers say everything is good because they get free stuff and promise to and hope to get more in the future.
