Computex 2004: Graphics Cards Galore

GeCube and Leadtek
We haven't reviewed any GeCube products previously on AnandTech, but we hope to in the near future. GeCube is offering ATI Radeon based products with a little bit of factory overclocking under the hood of their Xtreme line of products. This particular one is an X600.
We also saw their 9550 based product on the lower end of the spectrum.
As for Leadtek, we will again be seeing their WinFast series that proved to be a very overclockable card in our previous generation roundup. Hopefully, we will be seeing similar numbers posted from their newest cards.
Leadtek was also showing off some PCI Express based cards, as well as some of the only Quadro cards that we saw on the show floor.

Damnit, I wanted to see MSI's 6800s :/.Oh well. Can you just say whether they had any nBox-esque coolers on them? Best coolers evar (possibly) excluding the Silencer and Zalman's stuff.

I had to laugh what happened to ATI's responce that shader 3.0 weren't useful and not going to be implmented? it just goes to show that it's more about PR that about what is useful, this is the second time in as many months ATI is having to pull the foot out of their mouth... when's nvidia going to get caught? or has it finnaly come down neither company should be throwing stone in the first place as they both live in glass houses... for the record I like nvidia's cards but hate both PR deptments!kristof007 - Sunday, June 6, 2004 - link
Wow I can only imagine what kind of overclocking will be avalible with coolers like PowerColors fan (at least I think it was PowerColor). This should be very exciting summer.orion23 - Saturday, June 5, 2004 - link

Alienware has been shipping 6800 Ultra's from at least May 14th when I got mine. They announced the card a month earlier.Its not cheap, but it is very fast. The drivers are still not perfect.

doh!!HIS is working on a dual DVI solution, but they aren't sure about the market yet. I essentially told them "if you build it they will come" ...
they did have a sample dual dvi board (I believe an x600 though I could very easily be mistaken), but the very important fact slipped my mind since I didn't have pics of it...
Sapphire also mentioned working on dual DVI solutions for the future (of course, they've told us this in the past as well).
I'll add an update to the article.

I take it you missed the captions on Asus' booth saying both the 5900 and X800XT are the fastest PCI-Express cards? ;)RyanVM - Saturday, June 5, 2004 - link
#5, my thoughts exactly. Not one single manufacturer felt the need to stray from the ATI reference design far enough to go dual DVI? Pathetic.
