Gainward Ultra/1300XT TV-DVI Golden Sample Video Card Review

First things first and for us it’s performance the majority of times. The Gainward Ultra/1300XT TV-DVI Golden Sample certainly does outstanding in this department. At the cards stock speeds is barely falls short of the 5900 Ultra in all of the tests while staying strongly ahead of the 9600XT. Enable the "enhanced mode" setting and the card pulls ahead of the 5900 Ultra easily. For those out their looking for the absolute most out of their video cards our overclocking results speak for themselves. Although overclocking results will vary from card to card, knowing Gainward we are sure others can expect to see similar results.

..When it all comes down the entire point of the 5900XT line of video cards was to give consumers something with fair performance for around the $200 USD mark. Manufacturers have really been taking it upon themselves to make such cards more attractive and Gainward has done quite a good job at it. At around $260, which is quite higher than price point just mentioned, The Gainward Ultra/1300XT TV-DVI Golden Sample is still a great buy. Cheaper than a 5900 Ultra and almost half the cost of a 5950 Ultra it is hard to not like this card especially when it is capable of performing better and/or at the same speeds as each.

With that said and this review concluded we give the Gainward Ultra/1300XT TV-DVI Golden Sample our Great Buy Award.
