PC Stats has posted a review on the MSI FX5950 Ultra-VTD256 "Red PCB" video card
For its time, the nVIDIA GeForceFX 5900 Ultra was one of the fastest GPUs you could hope for, but like all good things, the real story of the FX5900 was not so rosy. TSMC, the company nVIDIA use to fabricate their silicon, had a lot of problems getting the new 0.13 micron process right, and that caused serious delays in production. Because of that, relatively few GeForceFX 5900 Ultras reached the retail market, and consequently the card never took off. Fast forward six months, and now the GeForceFX 5950 Ultra is upon us. Thankfully, the teething problems TSMC experienced with 0.13 micron manufacturing have been laid to rest. The MSI FX5950 Ultra-VTD256 with its red PCB and large copper plated cast aluminum heatsinks weighs in around 500g, making it one pretty heavy videocard. Luckily for us, MSI make sure that the FX5950 Ultra-VTD256 will not get damaged during shipping by surrounding it with a nice cushion of antistatic foam.Read more
