We have another FX5950 Ultra card for you guys today. Chaintech sent us a sample of their fastest card. We will compare this sample to one we got from MSI awhile back and
also vs a normal 5900XT card to see the difference in performance. We will test the card in heavy gaming and also overclocking tests.
