Overclocker Cafe - Albatron GF PCX5750 Trinity

Albatron GeForce PCX5750 Trinity

What you get

In addition to the manual, the package contains the requisite driver disk, a 5-in-1 game disk and Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project. And of course, let's not forget that little TV cable as well.

In addition to the drivers, the driver CD contains DX9 and DX8.1 as well as an overclocking tool, nVTweak.

The Card

The 5750 is based on Albatron's familiar blue PCB with a rather large heatsink covering half of the card.

The first thing I took note of was that for a GeForce based card, it is actually quite small. It is roughly the same size as the HIS X600XT that we took for a test run not too long ago, and quite a bit smaller than our Chaintech 5700 Ultra.

As you can see, the sink sports Albatron's logo as does the cooling fan. At the top of the sink, we have the series of the card in raised lettering.

Not only does the heatsink cover the GPU core but the memory as well. Looking in from the side, we can see the wave type fins designed to dissipate the heat.

Unfortunately, when we flipped the card over, we discovered there were no heatsinks applied to the reverse side of the memory. While this shouldn't affect the card under normal conditions, it will have an effect on how well the card overclocks.

Taking a closer look at the memory reveals the use of Hynix HY5DU281622ET-4 memory modules which are rated at 250MHz.

As is common now, the card has the VGA as well as DVI connections, with the S-Video set between the two making for a pretty standard layout.

But what was nice to see, is that this nVidia based card does not require the external power connections that so many cards do these days.
