Want A New Midrange Card? Considered Ati?

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

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?

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;

i feel like shit now since i own a 5700ultra. how could u do this to me&#33;&#33;??&#33;&#33; my life is in ruins

so im guessing im getting a new card...is 9800se good?

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

do you guys have to make 5 post just to say the same thing over and over and over and over?

http://www.mcbriens.net/liam/img/smilies/rofl.gif

what is rofl? lol and you should delete this so noone actually TAKES his advice&#33; lol....we never heard from him again <_<

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

why does this guy say he knows so much about cards, says something, gets proved wrong. and doesnt speak in the topic again.

another example here. http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=89859

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

O

I

C

:P

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....
