GeForce FX 5900 Ultra Introduced
As mentioned before, NVidia is launching the NV35 at E3 to make us forget about the first GeForce FX products. Find out if they do with articles looking at the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra on HardOCP, AnandTech, Tech Report, Bjorn3D, NeoSeeker and Hexus. There's also a special HardOCP article using DOOM 3 as a benchmark.
The core clock rate of the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra will be 450MHz, down 50MHz from the NV30 chip in the GeForceFX 5800 Ultra. The GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB should be available in June, if all goes as planned, for only $499 American money. A non-Ultra variant of the GeForce FX 5900 with 128MB should hit the market in June for $399, but core and memory clock speeds for that product have not been finalized. Tantalizingly, NVIDIA has plans to introduce a cheaper 128MB "value" card based on NV35, as well. This card should be available in July for the bargain-basement price of $299.NVidia's official press release can be found here.
