New NVidia Graphics Cards Reviewed

UnixRevolution writes "Tom's Hardware has a review of Nvidia's new FX5950 and FX5700. According to Tom's Hardware, ATI's Radeon 9800XT is still at the top of the heap." They're still some pretty slick cards, if only for their heat sink designs.

When did Slashdot take over from the Wayback Machine?

The article's old. Really, quite old. As in, "Hello? The 90s are calling -- they want their articles back" kind of old.

You know what I find pretty damn interesting? That my Radeon 9600 operates with NO active cooling at all, only a simple heat conductor. Quite[sic] is good.

And quiet is even better.

Yeah, but do you really trust this guy? He seems pretty fanatical.

Then again, I wouldn't want the job of evaluating Linux 3D gaming hardware. Sure, you've only got like three things to review, but then what're you going to do for the rest of the day?

Although Parsec IS pretty sweet.

....purchased a Nvidia Geforce 2 MX400 card.....And that seems to run the two games I play quite well.

Pong and Frogger?

So being one of these humble 5, I must say that I am very happy about that I now have a job, and that I am better than 4 American men. My many wives think that of me also. Thankyou.
