ATI Radeon 64MB DDR

Pros: TV output, Video input available, DVD hardware acceleration. Good performance
Cons: ATI sometimes a bit slow on driver fixes.

I started looking at the Radeon because my Epox Ep7kxa motherboard has the VIA KX133 chipset which has been found to be mostly incompatible with 90% of the GeForce Cards available on the market, especially the reasonably priced MX cards.

My...

Pros: fast, great DVD playback
Cons: ATI bad with driveres

ATI was never a big thing in the 3d gaming industry. 3dfx first ruled, followed by nVidia. nVidia's rule was so strong 3dfx just all but went out of business. That leaves nVidia's GeForce and up and coming NV20. But wait - ATI wowed the scene with the...

Pros: Excellent 32-bit performance
Cons: Drivers are still somewhat buggy

Last month I purchased an ATI Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO graphics card after I ran into problems with my previous card, a GeForce 256-based Creative Annihilator Pro card with 32MB of DDR memory. Specifically, with newer drivers (both Creative's drivers and...

Pros: Image Quality, speed, price (in 32mb version)
Cons: ?

The ATI Radeon is a very fast card. But this is not the only reason why it is also one of the best cards around at the moment.



Brought out initially to challenge the GeForce 2 GTS, the second incarnation of the all-conquering...

Pros: Has the best longetivity of any card out there
Cons: Will never dominate the fps or benchmark tests

You can buy it for $299, and come Christmas, you can expect those prices to go down even further. But I'm not writing this article about the prices (well not solely anyways) but I wish to discuss the greatness that the Radeon is. Now ATi has not been...

Pros: 64Mb, video in/out, excellent 2D performance.
Cons: poor OpenGL support, poor drivers, lack of helpful support.

While this card is an excellent piece of hardware, with awesome specs and many features, I have had endless compatibility problems with this card. I have used every supported and "special purpose" (beta) driver released since Jan 2001, and no one driver...

Pros: High quality DVD playback, excellent 32-bit color
Cons: Linux needs updates to use this, not the fastest card for games

When I started playing lots of 32-bit color 3-D games, I realized I needed a newer graphics card with more memory. Linux compatibility was also important to me. The exact model I purchased was the 64 MB DDR VIVO Radeon card.

I compared...

Pros: Detailed graphics, perfect for games, cheap if you shop around.
Cons: Even when found cheap, is it worth the price?

I originaly bought a non-name-brand 16MB video card, that didn't work with anything. I had purchased it at CompUSA, and after 5 months of trying it out with different games and video editing software I decided that it was worthless, and I needed...

Pros: GAMES,GAMES,GAMES,also DVD :-)
Cons: Cost.

I have tested many video cards and I can say this may be my favorite. If you dont care about the cost buy it! Any real gamer needs a card like this. It can handle any game. Outshining my TNT2 in fps(frames per second) on most simulation games, and...

Pros: 64 MB DDR RAM, VIVO , Rage Theater Chip for encoding MPEG-2 and decoding DVD.
Cons: None as of yet.

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...

Pros: 64mb DDR memory, very very quick, cheaper than GF2
Cons: costs a fair bit

This is the premier graphics card available at the moment, on a par with the Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS. Trust me I have seen this card in action and it absolutely flies along. It has all the advanced features you'd expect from a graphics card nowadays, like...

Pros: Lots of Memory, fast, image quality, price, DVD playback is great.
Cons: driver updates

My radeon 64 mb ddr is the greatest graphics card i have ever used. It combines power with a price that won't leave you with an expensive card, and no games.

the radeon's features are great. It comes with 64 megabytes of DDR memory clocked...

Pros: Speed, color depth, and functionality with a Viewsonic VG 175 (LCD)
Cons: DVD playback

I wanted to briefly share with everyone a problem I have had with this card. Most of the other reviews cover in great detail the card and how sweet it is. So I want to briefly share with you a difficulty I have had.

The card, for all intents...

Pros: crisp, sharp graphics. Compatible with win2k. amazing resolutions/refresh rates
Cons: only possible one is the cost, but you get what you pay for.

First off, I am not a hardcore gamer. I don't always have to have the newest and the best when it comes to computer parts. I don't do framerate benchmark tests, nor do I care much about them. I care about only a couple things: How well the card works...

Pros: Good card
Cons: Not up to pace with todays cards

I got a radeon not to long ago (64mb DDR) and it served my old tnt2 m64 right in the butt.

Things::: in low res modes it happens to have this penciled look to it..

Thought it does not have as many power over heads as NVIDIA cards...
