Several websites have posted reviews on Nvidia's new Geforce FX 5900 Ultra video card. Read on to find out how they do.
Digit-Life Review: Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5900PV 128MB Video Card Review
“Let me point it out once again that the FX 5900 and RADEON 9800 PRO cards are approximately equal. It’s for you to choose. In future complicated shader-filled games ATI’s cards can have more prospects, but when should we expect such games? When the FX 5900 and R9800PRO become the mainstream solutions? At that time the difference will be lacking at all. Besides, the pricecut rates should be also accounted for. If the FX 5900 is cheaper than the RADEON 9800 PRO, the choice won’t be so difficult.”
Extreme Overclocking Review: PNY GeForce FX 5900 Ultra Video Card
“It is time again for a new video card to try to compete with the Radeon 9800 Pro. The GeForce FX5800 originally was supposed to be the competitor with the ATi chips but as we all know, there were a few issues that made the card a bad performer. The 5900 Ultra is the what the 5800 Ultra should have been and maybe a little more. Today we take a look at the PNY 5900 Ultra graphics card and compare it to the two fastest cards we have, ATi 9700 Pro and a Sapphire 9800 Pro. We hope to find out if this $500 video card can out perform our 9800 Pro. “
PC Stats Review: Albatron GeForce FX5900PV Video Card
“The FX5900PV comes in a nifty carry case which through us for a loop as I thought Albatron had sent a notebook by accident! The Albatron GeForceFX 5900PV is packed securely in a block of antistatic closed-cell foam inside the nylon notebook style bag, which also includes a full version of Duke Nukem: MP, a five game demo/lite CD, Power Director and Power DVD among other items. Because the card supports VIVO, Albatron also a VIVO break out box a S-Video to S-Video, and a composite to composite cable. An analog to DVI converter is also bundled in with the package as well.Unlike 99% of the GeForceFX 5900PV Ultra’s which are built by Flextronics (nVIDIA’s board partner), I’m pretty positive that the Albatron GeForceFX 5900PV is actually built by Albatron. Albatron have always used a blue PCB for their videocards and the GeForceFX 5900PV is no different. As you can see Albatron uses a rather large copper plated aluminum heatsink that has three ‘wise’ fans (we’ll get a bit more into that a bit later).”
