You've read the reviews. You are an Nvidiot? And you probably think that Nvidia's latest flagship product is a secure investment for the future? Then probably the only thing that kept you from preordering is the 'vacuum cleaner' sound of Flow FX. Gainward has issued a press release that states their FX product series will be equipped with a custom developed cooling solution for GeForce FX cards. Initially Flow FX produced up to 70db noise - Gainward claims to have reduced it to 7db which is almost unnoticable. But Gainward knows this anticipated vendor specific hardware deviation is worth some bucks. The Gainward FX PowerPack! Model Ultra/1000 Plus ?Golden Sample? (GeForce FX 5800 Ultra) is priced at ?649 incl. VAT. The Gainward FX PowerPack! Model Ultra/800 Plus ?Golden Sample? (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5800) is priced at ?549 incl. VAT.

Gainward is going to bundle the FX 5800 Ultra version with a digital video-in IEEE 1394 FireWire daughter card, a high quality 5.1 sound card with both stereo output and optical SP/DIF output connectors, plus a variety of hot 3D games. I assume we're going to see such 'bundles' for the first wave of FX launch boards to make the sky-rocketing prizes of Ultra boards more attractive to end-users. However I estimate that the first wave has been bought of the bundles will disappear while the prices will only be reduced by a small percentage. All of Gainward?s FX PowerPack! products feature a radical new design of cooling system delivering maximum performance and incredibly low noise levels. Owing to Gainward?s advanced R&D skills the maximum noise is reduced to only 7db, the same as a human heartbeat.
