okay, now I know there was a thread on this a little while ago, but I'm confused again. nVidia has like a huge amount of different model cards out there especially when you get into the 5900 catagory. Could someone tell what order they are supposed to be from lowest to highest performance. they have the normal, SE, XT, and ultra. I get confused in the SE/XT catagorys because the 5900 XT is much cheaper then the 5900 ultra(also have the size)

Also, how well do most 5900XTs OC? They just seem really cheap to me, are they comparitive to the 9800pro?
 
5900SE is the same thing as a 5900XT, just labeled different because of brand. They are clocked at 400/700, some brands able to OC to a 5900nu.

A 5900nu (non ultra) is clocked at 400/850, some able to OC to a 5900 ultra, some able to OC to or above a 5950 ultra.

A 5900u is clocked at 450/850.

A 5950u is clocked at 475/950.

So, at defaults: 5900SE(XT) / 5900nu / 5900u / 5950u

Here's some game benchies, showing what the SE/XT can do:

You bring up a good point pbXassassinX1524. Seems all teh friggin companies are bringing out 28 flavors of everthing they make! Very confusing:confused:
 
alot of the ses and xts will hit 5950u speeds with some decent cooling.
