Gainward or MSI FX5900
I am thinking of either getting the Gainward 1200xp Golden Sample FX5900
128mb Vivo video card, or the MSI FX5900 128mb Vivo card. ANyone have any recommendations? I've read the Gainward in one review could reach 498/900 speeds, and the MSI could reach 500/1000. Funny since the Gainward are labelled "Golden Sample" you would think they would clock higher |

I am going to get the Gainward card myself.. |

Id say Gainward - gives u +15% Mhz with garanty - overclocking results
depend on the card itself - there is not much the manufactor can do about that On Wed, 16 Jul 2003 00:46:42 -0500, edde wrote: I am thinking of either getting the Gainward 1200xp Golden Sample FX5900 128mb Vivo video card, or the MSI FX5900 128mb Vivo card.

Make sure that the MSI FX5900 will physically fit in your system !! If I recall correctly, it has a large fan on the rear that might interfere with the Northbridge or other MB components, particularly if 3rd-party cooling devices have been added...........
