Gainward GeForceFX 5900 Review@HardOCP

nice looking card (almost as nice as the albatron), but can someone explain to me why/how ATi dominates when FSAA and AA is cranked up all the way? is it the arcitecture?
 
For the AF, I believe ATI is faster because they don't filter as many angles. Whether that makes a difference or not is the subject of epic bbs flame wars.
 
The inginuity of the R300+ cores, allow for little performance loss with AA and AF. See, it seems that nVidia fails to reach those limits, so it fucused on non-AA/AF performance (since this is the setting benchmarkers use :roll😉. Im really surprised too - FX looks like a vacuum cleaner, costs like one - and yet is weak as hell!
 
Also, im surprised why the "all powerful" nVidia doesnt use flip-chip construction...i guess its better to put a big-ass HF, than to make flip chip config.
 
These are flame bait. You must be looking for a fight.

Go TF away.

Getting back on topic,Gainward are one of the most popular brands for Nvidia cards but always the most expensive(at least in the UK),I would like their prices to come down a little to Leadtek,MSI even ASUS level.Given the choice I would go for Leadtek over Gainward due to price,but it`s funny Leadtek are real slow getting their FX 5900 card out when their lower models are already out.

Thanks for the link, this does look like an appealing card if I can't bring myself to switch from nvidia to ATI for the better performance at the under-$400 level. I'm happy with my Gainward GF3 but it's no longer quite at the cutting edge 🙂
 
I've been really happy with Gainward products. I have to wonder if they intend to produce a 256 meg version of the 5900. Anyone hear if this is the case?
 
Gainward's made some good products, in my experience with em. I just wish they'd change their screwy naming schemes. It's a 5900.. don't call it "The Magic SuperFX Ultra! Mega 1200 XP Orange Duckling" 😛
 
Thanks for the link. That looks to be a water cooled card. Have you heard if it is water cool only? I can't tell from the press release.
