Chaintech Apogee 5700 Ultra Video Card Review

People have asked me, so now that you’ve tried both of the major mid-range cards, which one do you like best?? The ATI 9600XT or the GeForce FX5700Ultra?. Well I won’t pull any punches here, the ATI 9600XT is the faster card, it’s lighter, runs cooler and doesn’t require an external power connector. On the surface it would seem to be the card to buy, and for some it is. Though despite the speed advantage I was more impressed with the game experience provided by the Chaintech AA5700U. The demos used for this review appeared crisp, the colors were vibrant, textures were clean and the range between the recorded high and low framerate was considerably less, when comparing the numbers.

..All things aside I was very impressed with the Chaintech Apogee AA5700U, the card came with a great software package and had plenty of overclocking headroom. Even though the FX5700Ultra isn’t any faster than the 9600XT the Chaintech card it did keep up and looked great doing it.
