MSI GeForce FX 5900XT Video Card

• Reviewed by: toonz56

  Strengths: A solid product; very good quality board. Easy to install and get up and running.

  Weaknesses: No games were included with my board. That would have been nice. I'll still have to fiddle around with trying to find the sweet spot for which driver version to use on my system, but runs quite decent.

  Overall: Best gfx board I've seen. Quality construction, runs like a charm tho like I said for my particular system I'll need to find the right driver set to find that sweet spot. But all in all it runs pretty decent. Very similar to ATI's 9800 Pro, but I have no luck with ATI on my system. Nothing against them, they just don't play nice with my setup. I have yet to overclock it to squeeze out the last drop of power, but will enjoy getting there.

  Strengths: Good, Fast and pretty cheap for the performance

  Weaknesses: Games Bundle is pretty old, (what the heck the card is good)

  Overall: Ordered this card from Amazon.Com, got it after about 2 months cause a friend of mine carried it from US. Got it in a retailed version with full set of games, softwares etc.. Very good when compared to Geforce 4MX 440 my old card, runs pretty quiet as well. Noticable difference in FPS in each and every game I play, highly recommended for a gamer.. also comes with VIVO (Video In Video Out).

  Strengths: Good stability when over clocking. Good FPS for a card in this price range.

  Weaknesses: This not a weakness for the card, but it appears that the games listed on the website are opitional and you may not get them with the card. I didn't, not really necessary, but a nice perk though.

  Overall: I was running a fx 5200ultra before, what a difference. Doom at ultra high settings with out a hic-up. Farcry also cranked up to high and very high settings with no problemento. Card can be clocked up 10% and still be stable. Nice purchase.

  Strengths: easy to installvery quiet operationsteller performance

  Weaknesses: a little more than I wanted to paycost a little more than other brands

  Overall: I got a great deal on this card. Ordered it from buy.com with a $10 coupon cost me less than $180.This is a great card. The performance boast of this card, over my old NVIDIA GeForce4 MX400 128mb, is noticeable as soon as I installed it. My games ran smoother and the images were much more rounded and realistic.It was a snap to install, took me about 1 minute to put in my case, and another 5 to install the drivers. I recommend getting the newly updated drivers from NVIDIA directly instead of the one that comes in box.I didn't get any bundles games in my retail box but I did get some DVD software I probably will never use. It came with an S-Video cable, DVI-to-VGA adaptor, and an S-Video adaptor.I would highly recommend this card. It performs well and is quiet. It cost a little more than some other companies' versions but it's worth it. It got good reviews from everywhere I read.

  Strengths: Very fast for a 5900XTRuns extremely cool and quiet

  Weaknesses: Pretty slow in PS2.9 games, but that is a problem with the NV3x architecture.

  Overall: I would highly recommend this product to anyone. It is about a LITTLE slow than the 9800Pro, but this card has VIVO. Its also priced sow low its a steal.
