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.
