Gainward Golden Sample Ultra/1600XP GeForce FX 5900 Powerpack! Ultra 256MB

One of the most expensive consumer graphics cards to ever hit the market made its way to HEXUS recently. Did Tarinder sell it and use the proceeds to buy a beach house in Bermuda, or did he take a good look instead? Here's a snip from our Gainward Golden Sample Ultra/1600XP GeForce FX 5900 Powerpack! Ultra 256MB review.

It's kind of hard to recommend this card right now. That's not too much to do with Gainward. The 256MB of on-board memory will push the price up towards the £400 mark, if not over. The 128MB non-Ultras have shown that they can offer up to 90% of the Ultra's present performance for considerably less money. It's one of those situations where a company's own card can make a higher specified card look a little expensive. Still, this is one fast, fast card, and if your wallet is deep enough, you won't go too far wrong.
