We had a look at a Albatron PCI express card a few weeks ago and tonight we have a even better PCI-E card from Gigabyte.
They sent us their FX5900 PCI-E card for testing. We will compare this to a Fx5900XT card and the Albatron PCX5750 card.
We will benchmark it with the latest games and test some overclocking to finally see how good this card can perform.

The card is equipped with a heatsink on the bottom and a bigger heatsink with a fan that covers the core.
The fan itself is actually pretty loud so be warned :). We can see that the memory
is not equipped with heatsinks unfortunetly which might lower the overclocking, but that is still to see.

No heatsinks on the back just because they are not needed as the memory is only on one side. Lets change page now to start with some testing and to see how this card really can perform in Doom 3 for example.
