    Hexus have two new Gainward FX reviews. Firstly, the little (albeit Pro) brother of the product range - Gainward FX5200 Ultra Pro/760 XP:

    "Before testing, I was expecting the little FX to be poor, very poor. What surprised me was the decent performance, despite its obvious budget underpinnings. I guess budget cards don't have to be too slow these days."

    More on the 5200 here. Then take a squint at the review on the big daddy of the range - GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB:

    "It's kind of hard to recommend this card right now. That's not too much to do with Gainward. The 256MB of on-board memory will push the price up towards the £400 mark, if not over. The 128MB non-Ultras have shown that they can offer up to 90% of the Ultra's present performance for considerably less money. It's one of those situations where a company's own card can make a higher specified card look a little expensive. Still, this is one fast, fast card, and if your wallet is deep enough, you won't go too far wrong."
