ATi Radeon 64MB DDR Video Cards Review

Overall Rating
 5 of 5

Price Paid:  $35.00 from Ebay

Summary:
Look, I'm not king of the gamers or an expert in Video by any means. But this card worked great for everyt use I have had for it. It runs my fastest games (Spiderman: The Movie) with no problem whatso ever. It looks better than My Geforce2 did and runs just as fast. The video capture is really good. I have captured Mpeg1 & 2 and AVI with zero ( That's none, nada, zip zero) dropped frames. Not a single dropped frame in 10 straight minutes of capture. The video looks freat full screen with very little color bleed. For the $35 I paid on ebay, this card is everything I was looking for. My System: WinXP, Duron 750, Gigabyte MB, 128mb DDR, Radeon 64mb ddr ViVo.

Summary:
I bought my Radeon 64DDR VIVO a few months after it first came out. I have been more then happy with the card. I don't get hung up on frame rates, appearance means more to me. The Radeon delivers better image quality and overall performance then any other card for the money. It sells now for less then $200, so for price/performance ratio, you can't beat it. My old video card was a 32mb TNT2. The image quality on the Radeon blew it away. The DVD playback performance is what sold me on buying this card instead of a G-Force based card. For the best overall use, I think this is the best graphics card to get if you you like playing games, and watching DVD movies.

Summary:
I believe that this card is a very good card over all, especially compared to my old Voodoo 3 card. I would recommend it because of the TV out. I consider it cheap because it has VIVO. I have found no use for the Charisma engine (No games use it!), but I admit that I just got it a couple days ago. I do not like how when you use TV out, the resolution on your monitor has be to equivilent to that of your TV, it is just a pain. Bleem! Runs a lot better and faster now!
