VisionTek Xtasy 9200SE, (128 MB) PCI Video Card

Pros: Good Budget Well built
Cons: Outdated drivers bad heatsink

I had a NVidia GeForce 4 MMX 440. I needed an upgrade so being a cash - strapped teen i am..i went out and looked for a card. My planned budget was going to be $100 and being disappointed with nvidia i went for ATI. Now ATI built cards were more ...

Pros: DVI Port and VGA Port. Good on Medal Of Honor, Need for Speed Underground
Cons: Bad on Doom 3, just ok on Half Life 2.

Ideal for users who don't have an AGP slot in their computers. ok for gaming but by today's standards might be a compromise. I got it at compusa for $29 after rebates. Good on some games but doom 3 was still a little slow and half life 2 was 7 out of 10.

I would recommend this if you don't want to blow $100+ for a pci card. If you have the $, get a good one. If you want to play some games with decent graphics (set graphics to med or low) then get this card. Overall great for the price.

Pros: Excellent ease of plug and play... awesome performance.... and excellent investment.
Cons: Ensure you disable the on-board graphics first as there is no means of troubleshooting.

Installation was a snap..... disable the on-board graphics, open the box, pop it in..... sweet. Incredible performance card from the Radeon series..... a must for that much needed improvement in graphics performance. This card also has the DVI out and the TV out, so you no longer need a DVD player. Plug the PC card TV out into your TV, and play those DVD's.
I purchased this from Circuit City with a total $30 mail-in rebate and $10 instant saving.... total cost $53.99 ! Bargain !

Pros: great graphics card, for a great price
Cons: installing it takes some pactence, as it b can be difficult

I purchased this graphics card for a number of reasons. One, I needed to upgrade up from my intergrated "card". Two, it was an ATI Radeon card which is rated very high. Three, it was a great price. When I put the card in to my computer(with some difficulty), I noticed a huge improvement in the computer's graphics. When I saw movie clips, I thought the game just sucked me into it! This was a great investment.
