PC Stats has posted a Gigabyte GV-N595U GeForce FX5950 Ultra review
We recently got the chance to take a look at Nvidia's latest graphics processor release, the FX5950 Ultra chip, as thoughtfully provided by Gigabyte in their GV-N595U video card. We were eager to see how this card compared to recent offerings by ATI, as well as the older FX5900, since the FX5950 is identical to the FX5900 except for a core and memory clock speed boost. More on this in a moment... Gigabyte's software bundle for the GV-N595U includes full copies of Rainbow 6: Raven Shield, Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness and Will Rock: just Will Rock. Power DVD 5.0 is also included in addition to the drivers. The three recent full games are a welcome addition to the bundle, though maybe not quite so impressive for some as finding a coupon for half-life 2 in with your card. At least you get to play something right away though! All the necessary cabling is included: a DVI-to-VGA adaptor for using dual monitors, a Y-splitter for the cables from the power supply, in case you have run out of plugs, and an S-video cable with an additional composite plug. The package also includes a breakout box to take advantage of the GV-N595U's VIVO capabilities.
