It was last October when we first took a look at the Geforce FX 5700 Ultra
(code named NV36). We found the card to be very promising, one of the most
solid products Nvidia had released in recent memory. Fast forward three
months to today and we take a look at Gigabyte's Geforce FX 5700. The
Geforce FX 5700 Ultra is supposed to replace the disappointing FX5600 series
as well as compete against the Radeon 9600XT. However Nvidia has muddied the
midrange market with the excellent 5900 Non Ultra as well as the
derivatives, the 5900 XT and 5900 SE. It comes in very close to the 5700
Ultra price point but packs the architecture of the 5900 Ultra.
