Club3D Geforce FX 5900XT - New King of the budget class?
Club3D Geforce FX 5900XT - New King of the budget class?
nVidia pulled a surprising videocard out of its hat: the FX5900XT. A lower clocked FX 5900 with a very attractive price, can it be crowned as "king of the budget-class"? Find out in this review where we pit it against the popular GF4 Ti4200.

  Short introduction....

Recently nVidia introduced the FX5700 series. These cards should become the new mid-range cards, delivering good performance at an attractive price. (~200 € for an FX5700 Ultra). Not that much later I spotted the FX5900 XT. Same price, but better specifications... Hmm worth a try, so I bought me such a card.

And I started benching, and examining the card. Let's take a closer look.
