| liquidman's Full Review: ATI ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON, (32 MB) PCI Video Card |
In my opinion this card sucks. Before i bought this card i have had no problems with ATI video cards. I bought this card for $280. Believe me its not worth it. Before I bought this video card i had the ATI all-in-wonder 8mb video card. I had no problem with that one. It had been a while since i've upgraded the card so i saw this card advertised and heard good things about it, so i bought it. Buying it was a bad decision. There are many problems wrong with it.
For some reason the TV software just kept coming up with an error message, and it wouldn't run the software.
I still haven't got it working. The supposed 3D acceleration doesn't even work. I can enable the 3D stuff but that just gives me more error messages and it still doesn't work properly. Whenever I open something using 3D it just pops up with "DDhelp illegal operation". Some programs that don't even have to do with 3D on my computer wouldn't work.
One of the most annoying problem with it is that it constantly freezes my computer. There is no reason for it to freeze. It's like it is on a timer or something because i only get so much work done and then it freezes. My computer will just for no reason freeze in any program.
I highly recommend that you don't buy it or even think about buying it anymore. Yes, if you want to have a computer that constantly freezes, software that doesn't work, and a $280 video card that does what a $50 video card does then you can buy it. But i don't think you want this stuff to happen to your computer. Also I am very good using computers and fixing them, but there is just no explanation why this sucky card does all this.
DON'T BUY THIS ATI VIDEO CARD!!!
