Albatron FX5900XTV Videocard Review

I think Albatron have been successful in providing high end parts, earning the respect of enthusiasts as Asus, Abit, Gigabyte and MSI have done in the past. If you don’t believe me, just ask around in your local computer forum and I’m sure people will back up what I’ve just said.Teaming up standards like that with the current mainstream market leader, nVIDIA’s GeForceFX 5900XT GPU, means you’ve got yourself a winning combination for sure!

From what we have seen in the benchmarks, performance of the Albatron FX5900XTV videocard is excellent. In fact, it often out performed the ATi Radeon 9700 Pro, and nipped at the heals of the Radeon 9800 Pro in more than a few comparisons too. The card was a fairly decent overclocker, hitting 468 MHz core and 780 MHz memory, although the highest memory and core ran together was 468/768MHz.

Because the card is fully VIVO compatible, Albatron have included all the necessary hardware to take advantage of those features. I guess the only place where the Albatron FX5900XTV was lacking is the software bundle. Duke Nukem Manhattan Project is a fun game, but it is also really old at this point, and doesn’t push the card by any means. If Albatron included a better software bundle, this could easily be one of the best videocards on the market.

If you’re looking for a decent mainstream videocard, look no further than the Albatron FX5900XTV. It’s performance will definitely keep you happy, if it doesn’t, just overclock it. ;-)
