Albatron Gigi GeForce FX5700 Ultra Graphics Card Review

There are plenty of NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra graphics cards around and if you are looking for one - we have got something tasty for you. Albatron GeForce FX 5700 Ultra is running fast, cool and is bundled with quite some useful stuff. Truly a great option for those looking for a mainstream product!

..The particular GeForce FX 5700 Ultra-based card we have reviewed today left an ambiguous impression. On the one hand, this card did excellently in many games and overclocks greatly, but the low quality of 2D and the noticeable noise from its cooling system spoil the overall picture a little bit. The first drawback is not critical for owners of LCD monitors with a digital input, but the noise is a thing that matters to everybody. The small heatsinks on the memory chips at the backside of the PCB are also working at their utmost. I do not quite understand why the engineers decided to use this solution rather than a single large heatsink.

Meanwhile, the card has a stylish appearance and comes with a bunch of good stuff. It may make a good gift like Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5900 PV did. It will suit overclockers, but I’m not sure that every sample of this card will work at our frequencies without any additional volt-modding. Overall, this graphics card from Albatron deserves your attentive look, notwithstanding its design flaws. According to Price Watch, Albatron Gigi GeForce FX 5700 Ultra comes to us with something like “$190” on the price tag.
