OCModShop has published a review on the Albatron GeForce PCX5750. With the emergence of Intel's 915 and 925 chipset which introduced PCI-Express there is now a need for new video cards. The GeForce PCX GPUs will deliver better graphics and more vibrant digital media to PC consumers through the additional bandwidth and features offered by Intel's new PCI Express bus architecture. Since the GPU has the largest bandwidth demand of all the PC subsystems, nVidia has been a key contributor to the joint definition, development, and deployment of PCI Express solutions.
 Albatron GeForce PCX5750 Review
Being that there are very few PCI-Express video cards on the market, this first showing from Albatron fits right in where I expected it to. With most of the benchmarks that were run the FPS and scores were not very high. Using this card for gaming would not be the best choice especially if you desire to use a resolution higher than 1024x768. Though this card does not make for a high end gamers card it does provide good frame rates for older games that are not
outdated yet. If you are planning on playing games like FarCry, Unreal Tournament, or Half-Life 2 I would suggest buying a faster card. If you are
looking to play older games or want the benefit of having DVI and S-Video out this card could work nicely for you. In the coming months we will see newer and faster PCI-Express card hitting the market which will be able to handle new games like Half-Life 2. Until this new expansion slot matures a little we will need to be a little patient and wait for new cards or stick with AGP. |
