BFG Asylum GeForce FX 5950 Ultra



This is another easy overclocker. Even though this card has a low profile heatsink fan combination, BFG makes it clear that no cards are to be placed in the first PCI slot by extending the rear slot cover to two high.

For fans of LEDs, this card has blue LEDs in its fans.

We wanted to include a couple older cards in our line up as well to see what we could do with them. There has been a lot of talk that the 5900 is a good value for its price/performance and overclocking ability. This card is a 5900 Ultra, and we also included the EVGA 5900 in order to see just where each of these cards could go.

We will keep you in suspense about just how well our 5900 overclocking went until we get through the rest of these cards.

BFG GeForce FX 5700 Ultra



BFG's FX 5700 Ultra offering is visually appealing with its blue PCB and gold trim. This card wasn't the fastest of the 5700 Ultra cards, but there really wasn't a lot of room to move around in that category, as we will see when we get to the tests.

    Were are the comparison charts between the overclocked and stock speed 9800pro's? I must be blind, because I can't see them.

    Where can I find the passively cooled 9600XT by sapphire? Newegg shows sapphires 9600xt with a fan.

    The Seagate HD: Barracuda 7200.7 PATA ... I'll add that to the table

    Nice article. A passively cooled 9600XT?!...I've found my next video card. There is one thing that I am unclear about - the Seagate hard drive used in the test setup - is it an SATA drive?
