TweakTown reveals a review on the GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX 512MB PCIe graphics card. Many of us have heard the name GeCube, but when I first heard of this name, it was generally associated with lower-end peripherals. Yes, graphics boards were a part of the name, but not usually the top of the heap models. The company was known more for low prices then high performance. My how things can change. Lately, GeCube is mentioned with all the big players when it comes to top notch graphics. This brings us to the GeCube Radeon X1900 XTX board, this is the big boy on the block and we plan on putting it through its paces and then overclocking it!

When all is said and done, it isn't too difficult to see why the Radeon X1900 XTX is considered one of the best graphics adapters currently to grace the market. Add to this the brand name of GeCube, a company that is going out of its way to make a mark for itself in the enthusiast community, and you have the makings of an excellent product that is sure to please...at least if you can afford the entry fee. At the time of writing, these boards are going for roughly $500 with the GeCube brand going in the approximate middle of the pack at $515. Of course, this isn't too big a hit at this time.
The high price tag is generally expected in this situation. As far as performance is concerned, you can't be anything but impressed. Whether you're in the market for more frames or just better gaming quality, this thing has it all. Even with AA/AF cranked up or using the latest HDR effects in the newer game titles, the performance and eye candy are amazing. Though not covered in this piece, this board also supports HDTV. This can be very good for those making use of satellite television or digital cable. Just something else to make the package even sweeter.
Bottom line, if you're considering moving to the top of the power curve and have the cash to spend, then I can heartily recommend this graphics board. The performance is exceptional and the features are second to none. While there isn't a huge amount of overclocking headroom, you still have some extra speed you can pull from this card. Simply put, it just works!
