Gainward FX 5800 Ultra: First review at [M] , Your next upgrade?

Videocards/VGA Reviews by jmke @ 2003-04-28

We check out what a brandnew Geforce FX Ultra 5800 can do for your XP2000+ system. We compare it to the Geforce 4 Ti4200, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro. And last but not least we upgrade the CPU to a XP2600+ and see if the GF4 Ti4200 gets enough extra juice to keep up with the big guns!
