Welcome to the grilling of the Volari V5. The V5 is the 'middle of the road' chipset of the Volari range from XGI ,the card is aimed at the low to mid range sector of the market, this is the area of the market that gains the most sales. The other cards in this category are the Radeon 9550 and the Geforce Fx 5500 or the 5700le.. The card I am reviewing was sent to WASD by the kind guys at Club-3D, who are also XGI main distributors in Europe at this current time. This is the 128meg AGP version of the card.
