nVidia stopper produktionen af den meget populære GeForce FX 5900XT, for bedre at kunne sælge GeForce FX 5700 Ultra med GDDR3 hukommelse. Formålet med introduktionen af GeForce FX 5900XT var at skade salget af ATis Radeon 9600XT med Half Life 2, og det er delvist lykkedes.
You cannot have FX5700 Ultra GDDR3 /2 and FX5900XT on the market at the same time since FX5900XT is based on much faster and stronger NV38 core while the FX5700 regardless of memory is always based on the IBM produced NV36 core.
If you want a good card for less than 200 $, ? or ₤, I guess this is the beast you can get but Sapphire has a hot deal where you can buy Sapphire 9800SE All-In-Wonder Gold Edition card at the same price range - ?189 and with omega drivers this card is very competitive to the FX5900XT.
