PC  It's No Geforce 2.0

THE GOOD:
Clear Video
Excellent 32-bit performance

THE BAD:
Bad 16-bit performance
Drivers poorly written
No Linux support
Poor W2k support

SUMMARY:
The Radeon is a good solid card, but it can not compete with the Geforce2 video cards. The one area that it had an advantage is in 32-bit performance and that is now gone. With the laest Detonator drivers from Nvidia the Geforce out performs the Radeon in all aspects including 32-bit. Also ATI has log been known as having a good product only to be held back by poorly written drivers. The people who say who would need any faster frame rates are obviously using the card in a different way than most gamers out there. I own two Geforce2 cards and on Radeon and there is no comparison. The Geforce2 cards blow away the Radeon in every way. I wish I never would have bought this second rate card!

Awesome video. Cleam TV output. Speedy

Im Using Win ME and the ATI capture software does not work i tried using the updated driver still no luck.

SUMMARY:
ATI Capture software does not work. it worked only with windows movie maker. but if you have another capture device on board ati no longer becomes a option in the video source selections this driver must be fixed soon. it does not seem to work with other programs.

THE GOOD:
Nice card, fast graphics.

THE BAD:
I had trouble installing this card into my win 2000 system. The drivers need to be really updated!

SUMMARY:
I obtained a 64 MB DDR version and found the installation to be nearly impossible. The setup program was complaining that the VGA drivers weren't loaded and that I needed to install those first before installing the card. The card is unstable in windows 2000. you can see a lot of errors in games etc. Im putting in my Viper V770 back.,..

PC  what an awesome card to get... 5.0

THE GOOD:
amazing image quality, and fast as hell, man i can't understand why you would need to get any faster then this...

THE BAD:
maybe the driver support, but i had no problems so far, and they're suppose to be coming out with detonator 3 type drivers...same performance boost..

SUMMARY:
i recently had a tnt2 ultra which i loved, reliable as hell, and graphics were also really good on that. i got a p2 350 with too much crap on it so its slow as can be. Then i bought a radeon to begin my upgrade process, awesome image quality in q3, half life sof u name it...and fast even with my p2, listen to this, i set everything to high quality 32 bit, highest it can be at, resolution i had it set at 1600 x 1200, and i was getting up to 45 fps, honest to god, with a p2 350 and 128mb ram and a bx mobo, honest! i can send you a screenshot to prove it...this card smokes the gf2, i heard so many complaints about that card...then you get those hardcore fps fans, who claim that it kills the radeon, nah don't think so, image radeon kill it, speed is around the same, like i said before why would you want to go any faster, its good enough, who cares, and features also smoke the gf2....don't worry about the driver rumours, as long as you update your system and make sure everything can accept it, and set it to vga first when installing the card...i had no problems what so ever, most hassle free install i ever had...i'm damn impressed so far, and i haven;t even upgraded to a p3/athlon.
If your looking for a good upgrade, and can dish out the cash, get this card, i didn't believe all the reviews either until i bought it...i hope i helped you out..even though i keep on babblin

it's faster than the geforce2gts where it matters, high resolutions and color depths. at lower resolutions the framerates on modern games are so high it doesn't matter anyway. not to mention this card will definitely hold you more than a year. its advanced features and dx8 support will insure even faster gameplay on future games.
