GeForce FX 59xx Question

[phoyoco]

What is the difference between the GeForce FX 5900, 5900 XT and 5900 SE? Which is the best bang for the buck? I won't be playing Doom 3, just need a faster card, want an nVidia, can't afford a 6800 series.

The difference is performance. I think the best bang for the buck was the 5900XT.

Exactly what games do you or will you be playing?
Because the fx series wasn't exactly the best. Unless you play alot of ut2003/4 then a radeon 9800pro is probably the best bet for you. It's priced about 10$ more than a 5900xt and 10-15$ less than the 5900, but it beats them both in must games (of coarse certain games that's not the truth, i.e. ut games).
