This video card is an amazing value. A 256 mb, 256 bit video card for apx $250. I was thinking of going for the X800 but I was not willing to shell out the extra $200 for it. This video card plays FarCry at the highest setting flawlessly. DVD are seamless and smooth. I would recommend this card to everyone.
Strengths: Very fast, and great graphics.
Weakness: Haven't found any yet.
This card is the fastest and has the most beautiful color of any that I have had yet. There's nothing to the installation, and there's lots of software included. I purchased the card from ZipZoomFly.com for $264.95 with free second day shipping. The fan keeps the card running at a reasonably cool temperature. Time will tell.
Strengths: Great features, great price. This cards power will amaze you
Weakness: huh, weakness, what's that mean... lol
Hands down, ATI makes the best cards out there. I highly recommend this card to anyone looking to upgrade to a 256 mb card. You will be amazed!
Strengths: Excellent 2D as well as 3D. Runs fast very fast. Is the best Graphics card I've ever installed to date.
Weakness: Bit of trouble with the 'Catalyst v.4.10' specifically the Multimedia Center. had to back up a few versions to get complete installation.
Love the board, performs fantastically. Still can't figure out the reason for the error when installing MMC 9.02. Always gives me an error mid-install then shutsdown the installation. I backed up a couple of Versions on the MMC and everythings running beautifully. And FAST! I'm running WinXP Pro, but I don't think that has anything to do with the error on MMC 9.02. I'll wait until the next update...
