NVIDIA 59xx Performance



With 21% improvement by the LeadTek card over the reference 5950 Ultra, we are finally able to see some nicer frame rates come out of Halo.


With a maximum increase of 13% rather than 3.5%, we can see that overclocking a 5950 gives us a nice number when antialiasing and anisotropic are enabled.


Again, an overclocked 5950 sees a much better improvement over reference speeds when AA/AF are turned on in Unreal Tournament 2003.

There are some very impressive speed gains from the High End NVIDIA camp. Let's take a look at how much better the mainstream does.

    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?
