Prolink PixelView GeForce FX 5900XT Golden Limited

Findings

The results of performance tests do not add any new information - the frequencies of Prolink PixelView GeForce FX 5900XT Golden Limited are standard for a board built on the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT chip, so there is nothing more to add regarding the alignment of forces among the existing solutions - all is clear.

But the attraction of this board is not in that. The smart solution in the form of a small LCD monitor to keep track of the graphic chip temperature and the rotational speed on the GPU fan - that's what makes this card stand out among other similar but featureless products of other manufacturers. This novelty is a real spice which makes the card worth of buying. But will there be enough people willing to buy this solution? For evident reasons, the price of the board is within the reasonable price tag for a board built on the GeForce FX 5900XT chip - and we are very well aware that manufacturers and sellers did not miss a chance to add to extra charge for the novelty. Nevertheless, the pleasure of using such a device should overlap all the price shortcomings - the manufacturing quality is on par, the card showed good stability during 3D tests for long hours, and of course it offers a fantastic exterior with the monitoring options.
