Ok folks, since we expect a lot of FX reviews popping out of nowhere today we will be adding them to this list. You will find a small snip of the editor's opinion as well as the URL hyperlink to the complete review. ExtremeTech were the first non-german to go live. Check back regularly because we will update the list during the day. ExtremeTech Review: 'Not a home run' Admittedly, noise level doesn't top the list of considerations for anyone buying a GeForceFX, but a 2X increase in overall fan noise level is pretty serious. If you've already got enough fans getting air in and out of your CPU case to power a wind farm, then the GeForceFX will be right at home in your rig. [H]ardOCP Preview: 'A lot of engineering' Using coolbits which fully allows the card to be overclocked in 2D and 3D I was able to achieve a top stable overclock of 530/535. At 540Mhz the core would run for a few minutes then generate a hard lock up of the system. Only way to recover was a reboot. At 530Mhz core it was 100% stable in everything we threw at it. On the RAM At 550Mhz, 545Mhz, and 540Mhz there was polygon corruption causing the games to be unplayable. However at 535Mhz it was completely stable with no corruption at all. 530/535 (1070) was our final stable overclock. Tom's Hardware Review: 'Brute force attack against the king' [Ed.: Sound samples available! Is it a vacuum cleaner?] In its current state, the noise produced by the card is really unbearable. However, the noise is due to the fan, which has a very high rotation speed, and it's difficult to imagine how the noise level could be reduced to a level that could be considered acceptable. [...] The GeForceFX 5800 Ultra is faster than the competition from ATI's Radeon 9700 PRO in the majority of the benchmarks. However, its lead is only slight, especially compared to the distance that ATI put between its Radeon 9700 PRO and the Ti 4600. Still, when compared to its predecessor, the GeForce4 Ti, the FX represents a giant step forward. AnandTech Review: 'Expectations not fulfilled' While we were reviewing the FX, looking at its performance and investigating its image quality, we found ourselves reminiscing of ATI's launch of the Radeon 8500. A card that was long overdue, but in the end unable to outshine the top performer at the time. Although the current state of the GeForce FX is much better than what we had with the first Radeon 8500, the word impressive isn't what we'd use to describe it. The performance is an improvement over the Ti 4600, without a doubt, but it does not place NVIDIA back in a position of dominance, which is what everyone was expecting from NV30.
