Gainward 5900 Card Differences?

[nycxandy]

What are the differences between these two Gainward video cards?

Gainward FX PowerPack! Ultra/1100 TV/DVI 128M

Gainward FX PowerPack! Ultra/1200 TV/DVI 128M Golden Sample

Thanks.

The golden sample is guaranteed to work at a near Ultra overclock from the factory. It's default speeds are nearly that of an Ultra.

They put the best chips on the Ultras, the good ones on the Golden samples, and what's left over on the non-golden samples.

Anyone have core and memory speeds of these two cards ?

And the speeds of a 5900 Ultra ?

Have you read Anand's video card article yet? Worth looking into.

Look on newegg, or do a google search, you could find the gpu\mem specs just as easily as I could.
