This is my first ever time at using a Radeon card and I was surprised by the jump in performance and quality with my upgrade from a 8800gts. Though the 8800gts has been out a couple of years it still surprised my none the less to have such a boost. I recently built a new rig which is as follows X58SO Motherboard, Core i7 920, 6 gigs of Corsair Dominator Ram and Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. I started out with my 8800gts at first but there was not much difference in gameplay or performance. I was still only getting about ten to twenty frames per second in Crysis. My 3d mark 06 score was still around ten thousand or so. The price for this card was just right and as it gets lower I plan on getting a second one.
My first issue with installation was having to move around a lot of my cables and squeezing the card in. It took awhile to get it where I wanted but with a little time and patience I got it in there. The problem being how long the card is and the thickness of...Read more

I have to admit, this card is blazingly fast, but being a noob, I didn't know I was going to have to upgrade my power supply - it requires *two* connections from the power supply.

About Linux - I use OpenSuSE x86_64 and sometimes boot to XP. It seems like ATI is having some trouble with its linux drivers (all you Ubuntu users take note!) because I notice some flakiness: say, when I exit ut2004 (in Linux) the whole system will freeze for 30 - 45 seconds! Then all is fine. It is fast and I can max out graphics, tho. Another thing, sometimes I can't get the auto-monitor-save feature to turn off after I've been away from the kbd for a long time - it doesn't get "stuck" this way often, but it suggests to me there are troubles at ATI getting the drivers...Read more
