The Crucible has send word about their Albatron Trinity GeForce PCX5750 Review. PCI Express is slowly beginning to make it's way into the market. Sooner or later PCI Express will completely replace both AGP and PCI slots on many motherboards. So if there are no AGP slots what are we going to plug out video cards into?
 Albatron Trinity GeForce PCX5750 Review
For many people owning the latest and greatest video card would be nice, but it is not overly practical. The Albatron PCX5750 is an excellent mid market card for the home user and casual gamer. I had no trouble running any of the current titles that we used in this review, though trying to play at any resolution
other than 800 x 600 was very choppy.
As a mainstream videocard, Albatron's Trinity PCX5750 is fairly standard as PCI Express solutions go. Out of the box the card comes with a decent software package. Five full version games are included; Max Payne, AOWII, Zax, Beam Breaker and Rally Trophy, a full version of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project missing from the bundle though is any multimedia software. Bundled extra's are
nice, but it's the performance that sells. From that view point, the Albatron Trinity PCX5750 is a good overall mainstream card. It's best suited to those on a budget, for which gaming is a casual pass time and not an obsession. The Albatron Trinity PCX5750 seemed to work best at a resolution of 800 x 600, and with a retail price of about $150 it's best to remember that if you have Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 on the brain.
If you're an overclocker, the Albatron Trinity PCX5750 is definitely a prime choice. The card tested was able to reach an amazing speed of 505MHz core, 667MHz memory. If you are bent on building a new PCI Express based system and are looking for an inexpensive interm card that won't hamper your gaming fetish or just to hold you over until native PCI-E cards are released, be sure to check
out the Albatron Trinity PCX5750.
