Gainward FX PowerPack! Ultra/1800 XP Review

nV News reviews Gainward’s GeForceFX 5950 Ultra video card, the FX PowerPack! Ultra/1800 XP

You all know that this particular card has been out for a few months now…and you know that NVIDIA and ATI will likely be releasing their next generation cards sometime this spring. So, we’ll try to find out what would, or would not, compel you to purchase this video card with this timing issue in mind (more on that in the conclusion of this review).. ..We’re going to focus on what’s hot and not about this Gainward product and see how much more overclocking we can squeeze out of it in particular. This is a review of just this single Gainward card and not a head-to-head review. I do not have an ATI 9800XT for comparison but I will mirror a few of the benchmarks from Mike’s preveiw article for some form of comparison to the NVIDIA reference design (of which Gainward diverts from in some improved ways).

. . . At the end of the day this card exceeds everything you’d expect from Gainward Golden Sample quality. If you like to overclock hardware then this card will be a joy to push boundaries with. The Gainward FX PowerPack! Ultra/1800 XP is one of the very fastest video cards available today with rock-solid stability and high quality components.
