MaxPower,

Did the composite input connector work (red rca)? Could you please try it?

I didn't include any of the VIVO capability in my review but I can say that the same kind of connector was packaged with their Ti4800SE video card and that one did work just fine. As soon as I can find the time to hook this up to a video source I will try it and post back here with my results. If yours is not working then it's probably a defective part and Gainward should cover that under warranty.

maxPower are you going to run the 52.16 for 3DMARK 03 and fix the review?

Patience is not a virtue of youth. (I can say that because you're the age of my younger sister) ;) I've been a bit busy lately. I won't bore you with the details unless you feel the need to know them.

I clearly stated this in the review:Note: It came to my attention late in this review that the 53.03 Forceware drivers are not listed on Futuremark's Approved Drivers page. Timing issues did not permit me to revert back to the approved 52.16 Forceware drivers but I hope to update this part of the review in the future.http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/gainward_fx_5950_golden_sample/page_8.shtml

When I get the results with the 52.16 drivers I'll be sure to PM you immediately.

I've updated this review with 3DMark2003 results (http://www.nvnews.net/reviews/gainward_fx_5950_golden_sample/page_8.shtml#3dm03) with the "approved" 52.16 drivers.

Out of the millions and millions of page views for this review. One person...one...requested that the scores be shown with the approved 52.16 drivers. I want to reiterate the fact that I became aware of this issue only after I had completed and posted the review. I quickly upated the review stating this.

I won't argue that the 52.16 driver results should be posted. However, I find it very interesting/telling that only one person out of millions found this to be so pressing. I suppose that this is an indicator of the interest in 3DMark2003. At any rate, the results are there now, enjoy. :)
