It has been a while since we tested a graphics card from Creative Labs Europe, make no mistake. They are still very active on the European market. And while Creative Asia and North America are selling ATI Radeon based products right now the lineup from Creative Europe still is based on nVIDIA products. From that nVIDIA line-up they granted us with the honor of testing their top-of-the-line 3D Blaster 5 FX5900 Ultra.

It has been a while since we tested a graphics card from Creative Labs Europe, make no mistake. They are still very active on the European market.

From that nVIDIA line-up they granted us with the honor of testing their top-of-the-line 3D Blaster 5 FX5900 Ultra.
As you will understand this is a product based on the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with 256 MB DDR memory, the current 'best of the rest' product from nVIDIA, a product that will deliver exhilarating raw gaming performance for the ones that need it in their 'Ferrari' powered gaming rigs.
This particular graphics card is clocked at a core speed of 450 MHz and as stated earlier is equipped with no less than 256 MB memory, combine that with the fact that it is using that excellent 256-bit memory bus which produces heaps of memory bandwidth and you have a jawbreaking graphics card. The memory on this cards comes from Hynix and is rated 2.2ns which has a nominal speed of 2x425=850 MHz which is the memory clock frequency.
The GeForce FX 5900 Ultra is produced around a GPU that is profiled as Cinematic GPU as it is capable of bringing cinematic visual effects on your PC with the combination of some brutal power and an excellent feature set. The CineFX GPU is of course a capable of utilizing DirectX9 Pixel Shaders 2.0+, Vertex Shader 2.0+ and OpenGL. Basically this product is in the high-end range and offers with it's 8 pixel pipeline a lot of gaming pleasure for your money. A nice PCB, excellent cooling solution which is volume/noise wise very low and a product that is cheaper than the competition right now.
When we take a closer look at the card we'll notice that it is a 100% reference based videocard. Small sidenote, if you are going to compare images of this card and the ones from our nVIDIA reference review then you'll notice that this model is a tad smaller, this is standard for all end-user GeForce FX 5900 Ultra's. The version we had was an engineering sample and during our visit at NVIDIA in May they where working on the smaller model and already showed it to us back then.
But let me introduce to you the 3D Blaster 5 FX5900 Ultra by way of a photo.

Creative Labs 3D Blaster 5 FX5900 Review
Today's review ladies and gentlemen is based on the GeForce FX 5900, not the Ultra model, just the 5900. Basically this is the entry model in the high-end graphics card series. That means a better price but still awesome performance.
