eVGA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

Published by

eVGA is one of the first to market with a graphics card based on Nvidia's GeForce FX 5900 Ultra GPU, and it offers one feature that no one else has (for now at least): higher clock speeds! With video input support, it also boasts video editing capabilities. How does much faster is it, than the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra reference card, and how does it perform against ATI's Radeon 9800 Pro? For their e-GeForce FX 5900 Ultra card, eVGA has bumped the core clock frequency to 500MHz. Yes, you read that correctly, 500MHz! As a result, the e-GeForce FX 5900 Ultra matches the fill rate of GeForce FX 5800 Ultra, arguably its biggest highlight. On top of the higher core clock speed, eVGA boosts the memory clock frequency to 900MHz. This feature nets the e-GeForce FX 5900 Ultra an additional 1.6GB/sec of memory bandwidth.
