Albatron never seems to fail to impress their customers. This card
looks so stunning you wouldn't want to go for any other.
If you had visited Albatron's website recently you would have seen
their newest cooling system which they plan on having on their cards.
I couldn't resist not taking a picture of it to show everyone.
Now ain't that cool or what. The Gigi FX5600P Turbo lacks this fancy
cooling fan, nevertheless it still looks lovely. The GPU cooler seems
to be the same as what they had for the Ti4200T Turbo, while the memory
heat spreaders have been replaced by some more heavy duty ones. The
GPU cooling fan has been designed so that the heat spreaders receive
the airflow from it as well. The card comes with a standard clock
speed of 325 MHz/600Mhz (Core/Memory), which seems to be the standard
for FX5600 cards. Of course I couldn't live with that, since I know
this card has more potential. After a few hours of adjustments the
best stable range I could reach was 404/793 (Core/Memory). I would
consider this quite respectable since most other FX5600 cards cannot
reach anything close to this. Taking the memory above 800Mhz made
the image to break up, so I guess this is the limit for the memory.
The GPU of course, with better cooling should be able to do better.
The card sports 128MB of DDR Memory housed in a 8x 16Mb configuration.
Power input
for additional power requirements of the card
The bundled software includes a copy of Serious Sam, Motorcross mania,
the driver CD and cables for video out. This bundle hasn't changed
for quite a while now and I really do wish they made some changes.
That maybe just me I guess, but it would have been nice to get some
never games since most of you would like to try out the card with
newer games.
