• ASUS Radeon 9800XT/TVD   [Review, Hexus]
  So with 9800XT sat atop ATI's performance pile, their most expensive graphics card by a margin, it makes sense that 9800 Pro, the previous champ, gets pushed down the order a little. The easiest way to see if that's true is to glance at the specs. Here's 9800XT sandwiched in between its NVIDIA nemesis and 9800 Pro 256MB in some 3-way table action.

• Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5200 Ultra   [Review, HotHardware]
  When a new OEM emerges in PC Hardware, their products are initially gawked at from afar, as most end users are reluctant to take the plunge into uncharted waters. As soon as a few end users claim good experiences with new hardware, word spreads and the bandwagon jumping begins. It's safe to say that Albatron has become one of these companies as of late. Since Albatron came onto the scene only a short time ago, they have become target of exploration for some in the hardware enthusiast community. Their products boast innovative features and designs, seemingly without compromising quality and performance. That is only part of the reason for Albatron's growing popularity, however. They have also managed to partner with some already well established companies like Intel, NVIDIA and VIA, driving the chip level technologies for their end products.

• Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5900s and Leadtek A350LX 5900   [Review, Digit-Life]
  Apart from the 5900 and 5900 Ultra processors the GeForce FX 5900 line also includes slower FXs. They don't have an official - let's call them GeForce FX 5900SE. Before I explain the situation have a look at the list of reviews of the GeForce FX based cards.

• BFG Asylum GFFX 5700Ultra Review   [Review, HardOCP]
  Last Thursday NVIDIA launched two new video cards; The GeForceFX 5950Ultra in the enthusiast market and the GeForceFX 5700Ultra in the mainstream market. We took a look at NVIDIA’s reference GeForceFX 5950Ultra video card last week, but held off on evaluating the GFFX 5700Ultra as we needed more time with it and the games. Also last week we transitioned to a new style of reviewing video cards. Well actually we are not really "reviewing" video cards anymore, but rather evaluating the gameplay delivered by them in real games and game demos that anyone can download or buy off a retail shelf. We will be doing that same style of evaluation in this review of BFG’s Asylum GeForceFX 5700Ultra. Eight games, four cards, real-world results...

• Creative Labs 3D Blaster 5 FX5900 Review   [Review, Guru3d]
  Today we are going Creative again, and I meant that in a more graphical kind of way. If you can remember our Creative Labs contest where you can win a leather Jacket (still open by the way, click here) then you must understand that our ties with Creative Labs Europe are good. So the leather jacket is already here, but in that same package Creative send out a GeForce FX 5900 to review also. Well, who are we to say no to that. Today's review ladies and gentlemen is based on the GeForce FX 5900, not the Ultra model, just the 5900. Basically this is the entry model in the high-end graphics card series. That means a better price but still awesome performance.

• GigaCube RADEON 9600 PRO Game Buster (128MB)   [Review, HardwareZone]
  We are well aware that the XT variants of both the RADEON 9600 and RADOEN 9800 series have been launched, but before we embrace them in a forthcoming review, let us review one other RADEON 9600 PRO offering from GigaCube. For the most part of it, the XT versions are basically a higher clocked RADEON 9600/9800 PRO series, so not everyone is excited about the newcomers. After all, the entry of new models is generally coupled by a price reduction in existing models and in the case of the RADEONs, these can overclock pretty decently. Hence, a number of new graphics card adopters are eagerly anticipating the price slash before they cash-in on the more worthwhile PRO series.

• Nvidia Ultra 5700 Review   [Review, AMDZone]
  The Ultra 5700 (NV36) doesn't feature any major architecture changes from the previous NV35 core. The card is clocked at 475Mhz and the memory at 900MHz and is their first to come out of a collaboration with IBM using their .13 micron process, while the Radeon 9600 XT uses a highly refined .15 micron process. To help improve the card's memory bandwidth, the first cards will also be shipping with DDR2 memory as opposed to DDR but card manufactures may choose the memory type as they wish.

• Nvidia FX5950 Ultra Review   [Review, Neoseeker]
  The 3d card market has been rocked by a lot of surprises and controversy this year - it's become a sort of soap opera of the technology masses. What's become apparent from our reporting standpoint is that Nvidia is beginning to suffer from its position as the top video card supplier in the world, while ATI is winning a lot of hardcore and early adopter confidence with its products: it's the same Jason versus Goliath story being told on the Intel/AMD front. Is Nvidia really beginning to lose its glitter? Is it becoming the behemoth that no longer respects the hardcore users that it had won over during its early battles with 3dfx? Nvidia doesn't think so, but the enthusiast crowd has definitely been wooed over by ATI's price to performance ratio, and many of them are now wary after all the negative press that Nvidia has been receiving.

• NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra Review   [Review, SharkyExtreme]
  The mainstream video card market has been quite active of late, and new models are consistently being released by both ATI and NVIDIA. The Radeon 9600 XT was the latest salvo from ATI, and basically improved on the previous Radeon 9600 Pro through higher clock speeds and an on-demand overclocking feature. This was an important product launch for ATI, as the company had taken some heat for shelving the popular Radeon 9500 Pro in favor of a lower-cost, and lower-performing, Radeon 9600 Pro. Once the Radeon 9600 XT was introduced, it effectively shut off any criticism of past moves, and ushered the RV350 core's performance past that of the Radeon 9500 Pro.

• NVIDIA GeForceFX 5700 Ultra and FX 5950 Ultra   [Review, Hexus]
  Rightly or wrongly, using GeForceFX 5700 Ultra numbers in the 9600XT article gave a lot of people a lot to talk about. The stuff that annoyed me most was the allegation that you simply do not use benchmark results from products that haven't had a formal product launch (a single press release will do apparently) and subsequent peer review from the usual suspects.

• NVIDIA Puts Its (New) Cards on the Table   [Review, TomsHardware]
  NVIDIA tries to hit back at ATi's launch lead with its news enthusiast and mid-range graphics cards: the GeForce FX 5950 Ultra and the FX 5700, respectively. Does NVIDIA raise the bar for highend and mid-range graphics performance? Do incremental performance gains that both ATi and NVIDIA's new cards offer really matter in game play? Not that much really, but the very good news is that some really great graphics cards out there will become that much more cheaper.

• NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5700 Ultra GPU   [Review, Tech-Report]
  FOR NEARLY a year, ATI's mid-range Radeons have owned the performance crown for mid-range graphics. ATI's dominance started with the Radeon 9500 Pro, continued with the Radeon 9600 Pro, and was most recently refreshed with the 9600 XT. NVIDIA took a stab at the mid-range with its GeForce FX 5600s, but not even a faster respin of the GeForce FX 5600 Ultra had enough punch to take on the Radeon 9600 line, especially in DirectX 9 applications.

• NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5950 Ultra GPU   [Review, Tech-Report]
  TODAY NVIDIA IS refreshing its GeForce FX line at the top end and in the mid range. The new mid-range GeForce FX 5700 Ultra is arguably the biggest news, but the burden of spending time with the $499 graphics cards has fallen to me this time out. (Geoff gets to play with the $199 cards.) NVIDIA's new flagship card is the top-of-the-line GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, which packs quite a wallop with 475MHz clock speeds and over 30GB/s of memory bandwidth. This upper-middle-class playtoy is the pinnacle of NVIDIA's accomplishments in graphics. But is it fast enough to knock off ATI's brand-new Radeon 9800 XT? We're about to find out.

• BFG GeForce FX 5700 Ultra and NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra   [Review, Bjorn3d]
  Today, we're going to take a quick look at the newest members of NVIDIA's GeForce FX family -- the 5700 Ultra and 5950 Ultra, replacements for the 5600 Ultra and 5900 Ultra, respectively. Usually this means that we have only reference cards to benchmark, but thanks to BFG Tech, we have a retail 5700 Ultra in our possession and that's what will be featured in this article. Although we don't have a BFG 5950 in our hands, we do have some pictures of it to show you. The 5950 benchmarks will be from the NVIDIA reference unit.

  NVIDIA is debuting two new additions to their video card lineup: the GeForceFX 5950Ultra and the GeForceFX 5700Ultra. The GeForceFX 5950Ultra is the GPU we are previewing here today with hands on gameplay evaluation.

We will be writing up a separate review on a retail 5700Ultra from BFG Technologies to be published next week.

• Leadtek WinFast A180 TDH Cinema -FM & TV Tuner on Video Card with Dated 3D Features   [Review, Digit-Life]
  No sooner had the GeForce FX 5200/5600 Personal Cinema cards hit the store shelves (see MSI-8918 review) than Leadtek released one more card with multimedia features - Leadtek WinFast A180 TDH Cinema. One of the notable peculiarities of the baby of Leadtek's and NVIDIA's breeders is the FM tuner installed on a video card for the first time (ATI's All-In-Wonder were announced later); the card is built on the GeForce 4MX 440-8x chip but its 3D graphics won't be touched upon today.
