Gigabyte Cards
Gigabyte is another OEM who produces both NVIDIA and ATI based cards. We had a few of their cards in the lineup, and we decided to include one card from each camp that was non-reference.Gigabyte GeForce FX 5700 Ultra
This card did fairly well for its class, even though it wasn't the fastest. The fan was a bit louder than the cards we had, but the trade-off was made clear in our core temperature tests, having one of the lowest temperatures of all the cards.
Gigabyte Radeon 9600XT
This was the second fastest of the 9600 offerings that we looked at with some very good numbers.

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?
