    LOL @ "Review" :

    Ive bought this product and it is the best graphics card on the market. High spec, amazing cooling, future proofed. You wont need to upgrade for years, unless you need the latest stuff. The water cooling is great, one less noisy fan running all the time. It exeeds the quality of the Radeon 9800 by miles, the people who say the radeon is better should play games using this and they will soon see how much better it is. And with 256mb or video ram (i know no games support that yet) video editin is great with it. When games do support the full 256mb of ram, you won't need to upgrade. The only downsides are the cost and the extra water cooling gear need to use it to the max.
    Exceeds the quality of the Radeon 9800 by miles? What planet is he on?
    It costs twice as much as a 9800pro for a start, and well, it's a good card, but ermm lol

    Oh well, at least that gave me a laugh

    Hmm if they did a radeon version with the water block built-in, at a sensible price, I'd be tempted.

    Doesnt look like the water block cools the ram though, which is a pity.

    Nvidia's are waaaay overpriced atm imo, but people pay for the name.

    heh wonder if its just as bad as the other fx5900u's in dx9, it might manage to match the 9600p but ii doubt itll be any better than that

    Rys Edit: stop swearing

    You can say that again, £588.49 for a graphics card? It's ridiculous, get a 9800 pro ffs!

    I honestly don,t know how anyone who knows about
    hardware in particular graphic card hardware and dx9
    could choose a fx5900u against an Ati 9800pro.

    The whole fx range was doommed right from the
    words fx5800...lol, and there showing just how lacking
    there are when it comes to pure dx9 compared to
    the 9800, imo nvidia has fugged up with the 58 and
    59 series of cards, But it is in a way quite interesting
    to see chipsets evolve over the years and even more
    interesting to actually see how game graphics themselves
    have evolved expscially at this moment in time

    Simply because the performance to price ratio is a load of crap.
