MSI GeForce FX 5900XT Video Card

User Reviews for MSI GeForce FX 5900XT Video Card

Reviewed by: toonz56

Duration of ownership:

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 Evaluation: 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.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good, Fast and pretty cheap for the performance

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

Overall Evaluation: 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).
