Not the first NVidia 5000 series that's shit. Remember the FX series? |
There were a couple of good price/performance cards in the FX series though.
I did own a Geforce FX 5700LE for my Tualatin rig... Which was only slightly more expensive than the FX 5200.
Took that pissy 250mhz Core clock and pushed it to 540mhz and the memory from 200mhz to 275mhz, still ran like an FX card, but outperformed the FX 5700/FX5750 and often, even beat the Radeon 9600XT.
Impossible to beat the value out of that GPU.
Actually made a good test bed for working on pixel shaders for games like Oblivion/Fallout, because the FX series was extremely sensitive to bad or complex shader code.
GPU space was far more interesting back then...
