| shauncool's Full Review: Hewlett-Packard Ati Rage Fury |
Be careful when you read this, you may be shocked by how much I love this video card! <grin>
When this card first came out it was all the "Rage", and CompUSA was selling it for about $200.00. I purchased the 32mb Rage Fury AGP model with TV Out, but I didn't buy it from CompUSA, I got it online from mwave.com for about $150 or so.
Right out of the box and into my PC it went (P2-350 w/ 96mb ram at the time). Zoom, WOW, BAM! Worked perfectly no conflicts and it loaded right up. I installed the drivers, rebooted and let-r-rip. HOLY CRAP!! is THAT What my monitor is supposted to look like! Kickin' man, my 17" monitor was in 800x600 res with 32bit color and looked flawless. Running at a whopping 100Mgz vertical resolution (or 120mgz at 640x480).
Before this i had a cheap 8mb agp i470 graphics generic card. That cost me $40, this cost me $150, but it was about 10x better. Windows popped-up faster and closed faster, programs flew. Games, why the games played so perfectly that I cannot believe it.
Then the test, tryout the TV Output. WOWWWEEEEE, crystal clear big-screen and dvd-watching quality (yes, this comes with a built-in dvd decoder). Baby, this thing is awesome!!!!
It came with a special 3D version of MotoRacer2, which this board was probably made for, because it runs perfectly at 800x600 32bit color with full 3d rendering. AWESOME BABY! SLAM DUNK! GRAND SLAM!
