GeForce FX 5700 LE is desirable with Retro Gamers

When the GeForce FX 5700 LE launched it was nothing special. It had a rather low clock speed and a narrow 64-Bit memory bus. To make matters worse, the GeForce FX series became famous for poor DirectX 9 performance, however it has many benefits that make it a desirable GPU for Retro PC Gaming!
