With high end PCI Express videocards in short supply, those of you looking for the best performance may want to cast an eye towards nVIDIA's GeForcePCX 5900 series.

Benchmarks: X2: The Threat, UT2003
A
completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects
such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you
can hide in them), many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects.
Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a
previously unseen level of detail.
X2: The
Threat likes nVIDIA videocards quite a bit. Here we see performance is
definitely very good. If you're into simulators, even at 1600x1200, you'll get
good framerates.

Unreal
Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award
winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology - where graphics, sound
and game play are taken beyond the bleeding edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs
the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a
DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of the game.
For those
of you who like FPS games like Doom3, you're certainly going to be happy with
stock performance at 1024x768.
1600x1200
is playable for the Albatron Trinity PC5900, but you might want to overclock for
that extra little bit.
