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: Doom 3, Advanced 3DMark2001 tests
Doom 3 is the most advanced OpenGL game to date, it takes
advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing power of
the CPU to its absolute limits. At its highest setting Ultra quality, texture
sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrows videocards will have a hard
time running everything. The framerates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is
wasted. Each test is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

Unfortunately the other videocards were not available for
the Doom 3 tests as we just got ourself a copy of the game. Amazingly, the game
is only playable at 640x480 at low quality settings! Remember Doom 3 is capped
at 60 fps during play, so it's best for videocards to aim for that
mark.
By
combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide
good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE has been created in cooperation
with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable
set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using
real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities.
Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3
and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and
Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics.
Higher
numbers denote better performance.
It's nice
to see that even with AA and or AF enabled the Albatron Trinity PC5900 is able
to score well. With 4xAA and 8x AF enabled, we still get over 10k.
