Hardware Description

BFG’s Asylum GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB performs like a slightly overclocked 5900 Ultra, and that’s basically what it is. In most cases, it performs better than its older brother, the 5900 Ultra, and its (the 5900U’s) archrival, the 9800 Pro. A price search at the time of this review shows this board going for around $410. That’s a lot of money for a video card, but it’s a relatively good price for a topnotch video card that was recently released. For that much money, you get one of the highest performing video cards around. Not too shabby. One other important thing about this board is that this performance does not come at the expense of noise.
