huh? what's the difference between these two cards?

[wizzackr]

looking at this ATI product comparison page here: http://www.ati.com/products/workstation/fireglmatrix.html i would've thought the FireGL V5100 is better than the v5000. Yet, the V5000 retails for roughly 200€ MORE here in europe. why? isn't the 5100 supposed to be the superior card?

someone pls enlighten me

what i thought, but why on earth are ppl selling this card for 200 bucks MORE than the 5100? weired...

The 5000 has support for Dual Link DVI (pdf) which means that it can drive one of the larger hi res studio displays.

Otherwise the 5100 is much more powerful from a raw specifications standpoint.
