Spend it if ya' got it...

by dts , Jan 04 '00
Pros: Great acceleration, benchmarks, huge cache
Cons: Cost currently not worth purchase due to industry standards
ATI Brings in the New Year by releasing a graphics card with a whopping sixty-four megabytes of video memory, accompanied by dual graphic processors. It's just as easy to install as any other card; but be warned that it's a lot larger than previous ATI...

Superb graphics Card. One of the BEST!

by tfung , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Solid performer with excellent features
Cons: No TV out and pricey
This is ATI's new twin engine Hot Rod. In the world of 3D Graphics Accelerators, there are a number of ways to approach the issue of increasing fill rate, image quality and overall performance. One of these ways would be to redesign your graphics chip...

A little revolutionary in it's own way

by CyrixDes , Nov 15 '00
Pros: dual processor, 64Mb of memory, solid performance
Cons: not brilliant drivers, dual processors are only Rage 128 Pro's
This video card was a little bit revolutionary when it was first released, not because of it's performance or benchmarks, but because it was the first video card to be released with dual processors on. ATI had the right idea that this was the way to go,...

HYPE SHOULD BE OUTLAWED

by BIGCRITIC , Oct 25 '00
Pros: Inexpensive and competitive card
Cons: Not a true 64MB
Well first of all this is a very good graphics card. I have no complaints as far as performance. However, marketing for this product was and is very misleading. When I purchased this graphics card I was intending to purchase the Radeon but the store was...

Double processors, not double performance - A comparison

by Gr8ful Gr8ful is a Lead on Epinions in Computer Hardware, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 07 '00
Pros: Dual video processors, AGP 4X compatible, 64MB video memory
Cons: Improvement is marginal and not as much as hype would lead you to believe
This review is a comparison between the "Rage Fury" and the "Rage Fury Maxx", as well as a review on the Rage Fury Maxx itself.

I waited until the price dropped to reasonable before buying this video card. I was...

My new favorite card

by jshultz , Jul 09 '00
Pros: 3d rendering, fogging
Cons: software driven DVD decoder
I've been building pc's for years now. I'm one of those that like's to have awesome stuff for my pc so I can show it off to the neighbors. This card definitely helps me show it off.

The hardest part was installing the drivers for the card....

Good, Bad... Your decision

by fatboy18 , Jul 27 '00
Pros: Good price
Cons: Lack of driver updates, no Win2K support
The MAXX is a good card, but simply isn't worth the price they're charging for it. The performance pales compared to other cards. Think about it, this card has 2 GPU's, and is beaten in performance by the 1 GPU GeForce!

Plus, like most ATi...

Installation nightmare

by kbishop , Apr 25 '00
Pros: not sure yet but I guess frame rate and memory
Cons: Installation nightmare - Might need to rebuild a current win98 system
ATI seems to have pulled another "ATI"
It released a video card with poor driver support.
I have contacted ATI and they say to rebuild your computer. I did that and no luck. Still has major problems. Screen goes black with drivers...

Good card, bad support

by foxmullxf , Jul 31 '00
Pros: Fast, handles extended use well
Cons: almost no support
I purchased this product because I didn't have the cash for a GeForce and I wanted something with more power than my 3dfx vodoo3 card. It runs very well for extended periods of time and appears to have no problems involving heat. ATI however only...

Not what you would expect

by sharkis , Jul 09 '00
Pros: solid glitch free performance
Cons: not on par with competition
I have to admit, I like ATI products, and I have always bought ATI, but as far as price/performance these days, this is not the card to get. The Maxx is indeed a good product, and does perform, but not nearly as much as one would expect.

Be very careful

by SHORTLAD2000 , Oct 28 '00
Pros: Good dvd playback\decent gaming power
Cons: Temperamental\has some bugs
My colleagues and i tested this card in several different spec machines to see how it performed. We first ran a test on the card in a AMD K6 500 with 128 megs of ram on a shuttle board. Its performance was glitchy while running Flight sim 2000 and GP3,...

Great card, but alot of problems.

by speed087 , Jun 07 '00
Pros: 64megs, dual processor..
Cons: Does not fit tightly into my motherboard. Sucks up way too much power.
I purchased this video card because it was the best at the moment, and i believe it still is. With 64megs and dual processor its on top! But, I have had many problems. 1: my video tends to lose power and my moniter goes totally black 2: my video card...

ATi's new board falls short

by jinsengchs_sg , Sep 30 '00
Pros: Bragging rights and just okay performance
Cons: High price tag, loses out against Geforce and Viper II, short life
One look at the MAXX and you probably manage to convince yourself that this card is a whopping screamer. It should be that way, shouldn't it? I mean, look at the 64 megs of memory, plus we essentially have two Rage 128 chips on one card.

MAXX by name, Average by nature

by thepanther , Sep 17 '00
Pros: Good price
Cons: Not as good as it should or could be
The Rage Fury MAXX looked like it was going to be one of those cards that go straight to the top of the market because it was offering the best components, the fastest components and the most memory on board. A whopping 64Mb RAM built onto the board...
