GT LEGENDS
GIGABYTE PCX 5900 SAPPHIRE 9600 XT GAINWARD GF4 Ti4600 COMMENT - "GT Legends is another complete disaster for the Gigabyte GeForce PCX 5900 and it is unplayable at all quality settings tested. Even the Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT is having a hard time offering playable performance above low quality. The Gainward GeForce4 Ti4600 really likes this game and it outperforms both the Gigabyte GeForce PCX 5900 and Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT."
