Bundled Features:

There is not really much to talk about in this bundle. The video card comes with a drivers CD and manual of course. Also included is a DVI to VGA adapter and a power cable which will connect the systems power supply directly to the video card. The only other item that was supplied with the card is the VIVO connector which allows for video in and out functions. Overall, we'd have to say that this is not a  very feature rich video card bundle. MSI provides tons of games, software, and even a remote control. PNY could have added some other these types of features but has basically chosen only to give the end-user a video card and a few connectors.

 

Overclocking:

To overclock this video card we used Coolbits. We started off with the core going in 10MHz increments. We got the card up to 505MHz on the core. Next we started overclocking the memory, which we got up to 970MHz. Since, we have not gotten a chance to test out any other FX5900 Ultra's it is hard to say if this card is a good overclocker or not. The gains from our overclocking did improve some of the benchmarks like 3DMarks 2001SE and 2003 but we were hoping to get much higher on the core.

Since these are some of the early revisions, perhaps overclocking will get better with more time.

Dell Small Business - Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower Computer with 2GHz Dual Core, DVD+/-RW and 160GB SATA Hard Drive for Only $329!
We've got 2 Dell Vostro desktop computer deals for you to look at this week:
  • HOT! The $299 desktop computer deal is still running, albeit on a different section of the site (it's like musical chairs,... but not as fun) and sitll comes with a 2.00GHz Dual Core processor, 1gb of memory and a 80GB hard drive. HOWEVER, the HOT deal is the Dell Vostro 200 offer you see for $444. Click on Customize It, keep the base package, and then go to Monitor and DESELECT the 19" LCD to drop that puppy down to just $329! For $30 more (compared to the other deal) you get a 160GB hard drive (which is bigger than the other one) and a dual layer DVD burner! DELL VOSTRO 200 SLIM TOWER DESKTOP COMPUTER DEALS
  • It's the same story with the Vostro 410 series. They've got a decently equipped Vostro for $549, however, choose the $694 unit right next to it, deselect the monitor, and within $30 of the lowest priced one, you get one that has a dual layer DVD burner as well as a bigger hard drive! I don't think these deals are supposed to be like this so if you want it, get it SOON. DELL VOSTRO 410 DESKTOP COMPUTER DEALS
