Geforce 5950 ultras had some crazy coolers [pic]

Nick89 · Jan 15, 2009, 10:48 PM

Did any ATI cards of that time have crazy coolers?

Castiel · Jan 15, 2009, 10:52 PM

I have the one with the 3 fans.

eidairaman1 · Jan 15, 2009, 10:56 PM

with ATI at the time, they didnt need Crazy Coolers. Most Popular Cooler was the AC VGA Silencer 3

LittleLizard · Jan 15, 2009, 10:57 PM

holy shit

, i didnt know that that sort of things require 3 fans for cooling

JC316 · Jan 15, 2009, 11:07 PM

I have a BFG 5900 128 and it has a crazy cooler like that too. It worked damn good in the day though, mine never went over 50*c.

3870x2 · Jan 15, 2009, 11:09 PM

they had to do something while getting stomped by the 9700s and 9800s ?(¿)?

mtosev · Jan 15, 2009, 11:14 PM

i remember red geforces.

Would be cool if we had a crazy heatsink thread

Melvis · Jan 15, 2009, 11:58 PM

Those were the days

I saw a 5950 Ultra on ebay awile ago with a mad looking heatsink on it, sorta looked like the Green Gigabyte one, i wanted it couse it looked so kool, but they wanted way to much for it =/
$100+ im sure, if not closer to $200

If you could OC them good enough and there stable they can beat a 9600GT, in performance.

thats insane if you can get it to perform as well as a 9600GT, considering its AGP....

Something tells me i should of got it instead of the FX 5700 =/

You cant. Believe me. I maxed out the OC on my 5900 and I only scored 2K in 3dmark05 and could barely run Doom3 above 30FPS. Get a 9800 pro and you will be happier.

AGP has nothing to do with it.
the 5950 couldnt outdo a 7800.

9600GT as in nvidia's or ati's

hat · Jan 16, 2009, 12:22 AM

hah never thought of that

Castiel · Jan 16, 2009, 12:22 AM

Ok, gosh. I was just seeing if someone would believe me. I didn't know I would have the whole forum coming down on me.

lol, thats a good point he probably meant ATI's, and I guess that would be true. Because at that time 9800's owned the market and even Nvidias top card would have probably been a better match for the mid range ATI cards.

Castiel · Jan 16, 2009, 12:26 AM

I was meaning a Nvidia 9600GT....

JC316 · Jan 16, 2009, 12:26 AM

Hell it wont out perform the ATI 9600XT! ATI waxed them it that series.

Castiel · Jan 16, 2009, 12:27 AM

I was kidding!

Yea ok fair enough, thats why i was like WTF? thats insane, but yea ok thanks for that.

I bought the FX5700 ages ago as a cheap upgrade to my dads comp at the time so i can game on it more, it had to be under $100. This was yrs ago.

But AGP is slower

Thats if he is talking about a 9600GT Nvidia???

Yea id agree with you there if it couldnt out perform a 7800.

3870x2 · Jan 16, 2009, 12:27 AM

nvidias top card at the time couldnt even outdo a 9700PRO.
