AOpen GeForceFX 5900XT Videocard Review

***Zardon*** · Jun 30, 2004, 06:25 PM

If you haven't already heard, GeForceFX 5900XT videocards are easily the best value cards on the market, beating anything ATi has to offer in the mainstream segment. Naturally, while manufacturers strive for market-driving performance, GPUs like the FX 5900XT are the bread and butter of the videocard industry.

Nvidia being Nvidia, and ATI being ATI, the FX5900XT is the mainstream brother to the FX5900 Ultra. ATI followed suit, releasing the mainstream Radeon 9800 Pro, and then the high-end Radeon 9800XT videocard. So basically, both companies have adopted an XT moniker, except that nVidia use it with their mainstream parts, and ATI with their high end parts. All of this equals a very confusing situation for consumers.

In this review, PCstats is going to cut through some of that confusion, and present you with the hard benchmarks for the Aopen FX5900XT videocard.
