Prolink releases three GeForce FX5900-based PixelView graphics cards

Prolink announced its new PixelView line of graphics cards on GeForce FX5900 GPU.


PixelView GeForce FX5900 series includes:

  • MVGA-NVG35BA – 256Mb of Hynix´s 256-bit 2.2 DDR memory, D-Sub, DVI, VIVO
  • MVGA-NVG35BA – 256Mb of Samsung´s 256-bit 2.5 DDR memory, D-Sub, DVI, VIVO

Albatron introduces 256Mb Gigi GeForce FX5900 Turbo graphics card

Today Albatron Technology introduced its new NVIDIA GeForce FX5900-based Gigi GeForce FX5900 Turbo graphics card. It features 256Mb of 256-bit 2.2ns DDR and 410/850MHz GPU/memory clock speeds.


The model has all standard interfaces plus VIVO and is bundled with Power DVD, Power Director and Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project. Similar to other GeForce FX5900-based cards, Gigi GeForce FX5900 Turbo features "Wise Fan" cooling system with "2+1 Backup". Finally, the package is made as corporate case.

The editor of our Video section, Andrew Vorobyev, commented this release: "It seems NVIDIA ships not enough 450MHz GPUs, so most GeForce FX5900 support only 400+MHz making vendors release 256Mb "non-ultra" cards on 400+MHz GPUs".

LL-T1200T is 12.1" 800x600 display supporting 16 million colors. It features 280cd/m² brightness, 350:1 contrast, 40ms response time, 120° horizontal and 90° vertical viewing angle. Sized 291x247x270 mm, it weighs about 2.7kg.


LL-T15TRS is a fully-fledged 15" 1024x768 monitor featuring 215cd/m² brightness, 350:1 contrast, 30ms response time, 160° horizontal and 150° vertical viewing angle. Sized 368x185x375 mm, it weighs about 4.8kg.

HWZ review: Soltek Qbic EQ3701M

The Soltek Qbic EQ3701M is perhaps one of the more glamorous looking systems with a mirror finish on the front façade while the rest of the system is brushed aluminum. However, it would be difficult to maintain it because dust and fingerprints can accumulate very easily. That’s the price for vanity.
