Summary: Ruined My Computer
Review: this card ruined my computer! its not as easy as put the card in the slot and boot it back up.the instruction book doesnt tell you that you have to remove the existing cards drivers and remove the old card from the device manager before you shut it down remove the old card then install the new one.it was one gigantic disaster of a day for me and my computer.this cards tech support line is in canada and is a toll call, a $100 dollar toll call and they were absolutly no help. if your smart DONT install this card yourself, no matter how easy it looks, take it to compusa or your local computer store and let them do it. i had to send my computer back to the manufacturer for the second time because i thought i could do it myself.

Summary: Great Card, Great Price
Review: This is a great card for the price. The Drivers are great, especially when you have the latest direct x from MS installed, as well as getting the latest from the web site (It worked fine out of the box with the drivers, but I think it is always best to have the most updated drivers for these cutting edge video cards!) The TV Out option is supreme, I have produced several videos with Adobe Premiere and exported to TV and they turned out great. Also if you ever want to play games out to TV they turn out great also. The Open GL and Direct X support have been superb. The latest games have been awesome looking with some fine resolution support. I can set the options to max settings for detail. I have njoyed this card the past 4 months. (specs I have-pent III 550mhz, AGP 4x, 20gb hd)

Summary: A thing of beauty
Review: Why do I say this while they have the TNT 2 and GeForce256 out there you ask? I'm not spending over 200$ on any thing untill I get a job and I upgraded from a 3dfx Voodoo Banshee (which wasn't all that bad). I found my self hating Quake 3 becuase of the extreme frame slowdown at many points in the game, and the day any one hates that game is when a serious y2k bug needs to come and show them what it means to be gameless. Any way, when I slaped this thing in my tower and fired up q3a, ran a frame count; I was looking at peek rates of 60-80 fps (800x600, 32bit color, max texture quality, 16 bit textures, biliner filtering, light map) . No kidding. But it did slow a bit with the effects all over, basically as low as 30-50, at the lowest. But for some reason it does better with this than quake 2 or half life. (my system: pII 450, 128mb ram, 6gb hard drive space (free space))
