New Comer to ATI

Written: Feb 16 '01
Pros:64 MB DDR RAM, VIVO , Rage Theater Chip for encoding MPEG-2 and decoding DVD.
Cons:None as of yet.
The Bottom Line: If you think $207.92 is too much, and this after shipping and handling... you deserve a smizack in da face!

At first I was skeptical about buying the ATI Radeon 64MB card. I was contemplating on getting the Elsa Geforce card or the ATI Radeon, so you can see where I was having trouble deciding which to buy. But eventually I ended up buying the Radeon and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. Installation was a snap into my custom built PC. I thought I would have constant errors and fatal annoying blue screens, but fortunately I had neither one. I put this baby to the test playing older games. The performance was good but not what i expected. So I pushed it just a little and smacked ATI in the face with some hardcore, fast paced action.... Unreal Tournament was the test subject. Well I'm sorry to say ATI smacked me right back in the face and shrugged me off. I couldn't believe how fast this card flies. Supposedly Nvidia flies faster but whatever man, Radeon does the job and then some. Not only did I get great performance but the quality was excellent. The only problem I had was with the VIVO... I didn't realize the card was smart enough to realize the RCA plug wasn't connected to the TV. Even after I got it running it was so easy I couldn't believe it, I felt like an donkey. The DVD quality is also by far the best I've seen. My brother has an Nvidia card using PowerDVD with a decoder card, and damn does the Radeon just kills by far!! I'm very happy with my Radeon card... the only complaint I have is that ATI is taking too long to push the technology even further by updating their Radeon drivers. Other than that I am very content with my Radeon.

Recommended: Yes


Amount Paid (US$): 207.92
