Does anyone know if this is a real FX5900 with 256 bit memory interface? Seems too cheap to be the real thing.

Anyone? If it is a 5900 (non ultra), it's at 5700U prices.

ALL 5900's have 256 bit mem interfaces.

I agree that that looks to good to be true. However it does appear to be the real thing. At first I assumed it was a 5900XT but even then it is very cheap. But as far as I can tell this isn't a 5900XT but is a true FX5900Non-Ultra. Nice find.

Regular retail price of BFG 5900 nu was like $199 about 2~3weeks ago. but still 179$ is not bad at all.
(but it doesnt come with CoD)

www.bfgtech.com says it's Memory Clock is @ 850MHz (effective)
so that's like 2.2ns

btw you can get better deal at

According to the BFG website the ram is 850mhz.

I was thinking they were over $200 and this just seemed so close in price to the 5700U and 9600XT, and the 5900XT. I guess the 5900XT would cost the same but you give up a few fps for Call of Duty. NVidia sure has 3 current card in about the same price range don't they. ATI is similar too. Hard to believe that works well for them. Thx all.

Ok, I didn't realize that. I thought the XT (SE) ones were only 128 bit.

The $179 is with free shipping and no tax. The pricegrabber one comes to $184 to my zipcode. And I trust gameve as i have purchased many videocards from them and not one problem. (of course, it's when I have an RMA problem, the true test will begin)
