GeForce FX 5900 128 MB and 256 MB?

[DDRSDRAM]

Why there is not review about 256 MB version of GeForce FX 5900 which say that this 256 MB is useless and same as 128 MB? HOwewer thay have ATI review of Radeon 9800 Pro 256 MB where they say its same as 128 and waste of money?

p.s. How much nvidia pays you for this reviews tom?

nVidia GFFX 5900U - 450/850
nVidia GFFX 5900 - 400/850
ATi Radeon 9800P 128 380/680
ATi Radeon 9800P 256 380/700

On the nV, the faster core is what improves performance, not the memory, and even still the difference is small. With the ATi256, the slightly faster memory does little more than counter the latency issues with DDR2 memory.

<b>nVidia cheated on me so I left her for ATi. ATi's hotter anyway...</b>

Because the differences between the ATi cards is negligible, while nVidia has increased the core clock to make their 256 MB card faster.
