Is This A Good Graphics Card?

[rhino_of_stockton]

I found this card on the internet:

Leadtek Winfast A360-TD128 FX5700 Blindingly fast 128MB DDR with VGA, DVI, TV-Out and Dual Monitor with 2 Full Direct x 9 Games  =  

[GeForce]

I'm really not sure at all on this one, so please do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

WinFast A360 TD is powered by nVIDIA's GeForce FX 5700 GPU, which using the advanced 0.13 micro process technology for higher levels of integration and higher operating clock speeds. The GeForce FX 5700 is the first GPU to delivery cinematic effects beyond your imagination for desktop users. Support Hardware monitor, bundled WinFastDVD, WinFox II software, Cult 3D , Coloreal Embedded , Coloreal Visual , Coloreal Bright , Gun Metal and Big Mutha Truckers games.

I would, based on this text, assume the card is basically a "hooked" GeForce FX 5700. I would therefore advise you get the card from nVidia, rather than a "hooked" version.

As I say I am not at all sure, so please don't take this as a final word, if you see what I mean

I got an NVidia Galaxy - FX5600 256mB over the counter in Creative Computing Glasgow for

The FX 5700's are a much better & faster card than the 5600's they replace.

Price don't seem too bad to me.

Take a look at my local  pc shop here,http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/leadtek_nvidia_graphics_cards.html you seem to have found one just a tad cheaper!  :D

If I had'nt bought my 5600, I think I'd have been tempted by one of the 5700's.

I notice on that page on ebuyer there is a thing at the bottom that says,

Price Breaks  The more you buy, the more you save!

Can someone tell me why someone would want 50+ FX 5700's  ???

[rhino_of_stockton]

you can buy 50+ at ebuyer as it sells many items to stores so they require a large amount sometimes, but they still sell to the littleman

I am pretty sure that a high street store would not get extremely rich going on an
