PC Stats has posted an Albatron GeForceFX 5600P Turbo Videocard review



Albatron made quite a name for themselves back in the GeForce4 era. Who could forget the awesome GeForce4 Ti4200 Turbo line? Albatron has done what they set out to do, and have become a major player in the videocard industry within one generation. Now that the GeForceFX is upon us we were quite excited to discover what Albatron would potentially do with their videocards to make them stand out from the rest of the pack. If we look back into history you'll remember that nVIDIA lost some Ti4600 sales to the GeForce4 Ti4200 GPU which offered great bang for the buck. It's a good bet that the same situation wasn't going to be allowed to develop for the new GeForceFX's! The differences between budget/mainstream GeForceFX 5200/5600 GPU's and their more expensive brethern (FX5800/5900) is more then clock speed. Using less transistors (75 million for the FX5600 as oppose to 125 for the FX 5800 and 130 million for the 5900) nVIDIA is able to build a simplified core for a much lower price.
