Mushkin Making a Comeback With Video Cards
Popular memory manufacturer Mushkin, which is also known for power supply units and until last year, for video cards, plans to resume being a video card manufacturer, and an add-in card partner for NVIDIA. The company just announced plans on an entire lineup of products based on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 series, called Mushkin UltimateFX. It includes products starting from the GeForce GTX 260 896 MB base model, going all the way up to GeForce GTX 285 2048 MB, with models carved out based on clock speeds and memory sizes.

For the most part, it looks like Mushkin will use non-reference designs which we may be familiar with. One of their products resembles a similar design by Sparkle, while another bears resemblance with the reference NVIDIA design, albeit a green PCB (something PNY has opted for). The cards will be shipped in an a classic wooden jewel case, similar to to the "WoodBox" it shipped with its older products. Here's what the lineup looks like:

We also get Mushkin GFX cards in South Africa, they're very decent when it somes to pricing, the GTX260 I think is about $80 cheaper than the standard pricing.

I've never actually used them, but I'd be interested in them at a future stage...

LOL such a girl ..... I would purchase it just because of the pretty box :rofl

Agreed. Thats pretty bad.

I even got my cheap-skate DDR2's in one of those wooden box, I paid like $50 for 2x1GB about a year ago. The mems are long gone, but I love the box, so it's still here. It's one of those things that sets manufacturers apart. :)

I also love Mushkin's wooden/metal boxes + MSI's Lightining 'Sniper Case' - that looked cool. Sapphire had a killer one, a metal suitcase for a Vapor-X card I believe.
