5800 Ultra? recognizable cooler is recognizable

 

[auntjemima]

Goddamn it, meant 5800.

 

[Armenius]

Definitely a 5800 Ultra, but question is who made it? I think all AIB partners used a clear translucent blower, so that isn't helpful.

Still seeking after this rare design:

What you are going to play? Unreal 2004 was the best one, that should be the same period.

 

[Armenius]

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness was the "Crysis" of the time. Other good games from 2003 include Jedi Academy, Knights of the Old Republic, Max Payne 2, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season.

"The Flow FX apparatus is so large, it consumes the PCI slot next to your AGP slot"

I wonder what they'd say about today's cards.

Nice 5800 Ultra there (I didn't look at the other posts before I guessed). Pair it with a Pentium 4C, a gig of CAS 2 Ram, and either a Lian-Li PC65 or Coolermaster Wavemaster case and you have a nice retro rig circa 2002-2003. Battlefield 1942 should run at 1600x1200 quite well. Better get a PS2 and GameCube for those console exclusives. Because we all know that console games are almost never, and will almost never, be ported to the PC.

....and for the Maximum PC article: I remember reading that review when it was new. I still have that magazine in my collection. I also remember when I would dream about PC parts like this. LOL.

The sad thing: the terms all trigger some memory but I can’t put it together anymore. Sorry, this one is out of my depth these days.

Lol, still alright for that generation.

Lol, still alright for that generation.

If memory serves, the 5600 Ultra was a stinker. I think the 9600 PRO was a superior card at a cheaper price.
