FX 5800 Ultra
Just seen what looks like a great deal on an FX5800 Ultra about $ 208
delivered checked it out on Tomshardware lands around the 9700 Pro performance. Any reasons not to go for this card ? |

It's loud, sounds like a handheld vacuum, it takes up 2 slots and
performance is not great and I'm not sure it is fully DirectX 9 enabled. Consider the FX 5700 Ultra instead. "Nick" wrote in message ...

For $20 more you can get a Gainward FX 5900 model ultra 1200from new egg thats better than the 5800,it will clock to FX ULTRA 5900 speed easily. DOUG |

DOUG I`m not bothered about the noise factor I run a Delta 7000rpm fan on my overclocked CPU. Benchmarks for the 5800 Ultra look pretty good to me - it tops the FX5900 standard and FX5900XT see http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20031229/index.html & http://www.ixbt-labs.com/articles2/o.../index.html#p5 I am running out of slots though. |

The Gainward FX 5900 ultra 1200 tops both the std FX and the XT by a good ways,it also has the fastest memory of the three cards. DOUG |

The Gainward FX 5900 ultra 1200 also only takes up one slot, I have one and it works great. it is also very quiet,you cant even hear it in 3d mode. DOUG |

DOUG Truth is I can`t get the Gainward FX5900 Ultra card you mention for $ 228 delivered the Asus V9900 Ultra TD FX5800 Ultra I mention has a meaty overclockers heatsink/fan and should overclock a little to get nearer to the FX5900 Ultra. |

Just seen what looks like a great deal on an FX5800 Ultra about $ 208 delivered checked it out on Tomshardware lands around the 9700 Pro performance. Any reasons not to go for this card ? You play flight sims, well then you get "real life air sucking" sound, free with your card. Easy said, the card makes a bitchy amount of sound, sometimes getting close into the 60db... and that doesn't games fine.... |

Easy said, the card makes a bitchy amount of sound, sometimes getting close into the 60db... and that doesn't games fine.... The Delta 7000rpm CPU fan makes a lot of noise too but Im kinda used to it now hardly notice it - I might be going deaf however. The FX5800 Ultra seems to edge out the FX5900 stock & FX5900XT stock in non AA / AF performance but is only equal to FX5900XT with AA / AF on the FX5900 is slightly ahead. So the FX 5800 Ultra stock is about even with FX 5900 but you can overclock those quite a bit then it etches ahead I wonder if I will be able to push the FX5800 over 500/1000 to make the noise worthwhile. |
