Geforce FX 5900 LX?
Hi,
I was going to buy this card : Leadtek WinFast A350TDH LX GeForce FX 5900 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI as advertises on the overclockers uk website. Is this a cut down version of the 5900 chip. It just seems very cheap to me at only £167.00. All the other 5900 cards are upwards of £200, the ultra costing even more. On the other hand they sell the leadtek geforce fx 5800 card for £202.00. Which one should i go for, bear in mind i only have a athlon xp 2400+ cpu and 512mb pc2100 ddr ram. regards paul |

Should work just fine. Might even overclock nicely.... your mileage may vary, of course. Spec:- http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/wi...350_tdh_2.html On the other hand they sell the leadtek geforce fx 5800 card for £202.00. Avoid. The 5800 is noisy and obsolete. Which one should i go for, bear in mind i only have a athlon xp 2400+ cpu and 512mb pc2100 ddr ram. regards paul John Lewis |

With a GeForce FX powering your graphics experiences, you can run applications and games at higher resolutions and at speeds never before possible. Whether you're a bleeding-edge gamer who desires the most advanced gaming technology available, or a PC user in search of the perfect combination of power, performance, and value--GeForce FX top-to-bottom solutions deliver. - NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 - 400 MHz Core clock - 128MB DDR memory running at 850MHz - 256bit memory interface - 400 MHz RAMDAC It dosent mention 2.2 or 2.8ns memory but i assume as its memory is running at 850mhz rather than 700mhz its a better card? regards paul On Wed, 17 Dec 2003 11:57:21 +0000, wrote: Hi, I was going to buy this card : Leadtek WinFast A350TDH LX GeForce FX 5900 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI as advertises on the overclockers uk website.

You are correct; it seems to have the faster. I don't know much about the
brand though; its good or bad points. Maybe an owner will respond with more details. wrote in message ... ok thanks for that, will stay away from that one.

Thank you all for the comments,
However, i got one of the leadtek lx 5900 cards and its pretty good. i get 10,148 in 3dmark 01 and 4456 in 3d mark 03. Pretty good cnsidering ive omly got an athlon xp 2400+ and 512mb pc2100. One thing though, its a massive card, both in thickness and length. Only just fits in my case. regards paul |
