Radeon X1300 256MB Pci DMS-59

After trying several cards; I was fortunate enough to bought this card. This card is very good if you want to drive dual widescreen monitors under vista. It easily scales 1680X1050 on both the monitors. The best part is it uses regular PCI slot and hence it can be installed on any PC that is upto 5 years old.



You just need DVD-I cable to connect to monitors. Don't use the regular VGA cable, VGA cable through DVI-D convertor doesn't produce sharp picture. The issue is with the monitors; not the video card.

This product arrived within days of its ordering via free shipping...yay! I popped in the accompanying CD, clicked on the link to update drivers, and downloaded the latest from the Radeon website. I swapped out the pre-installed short-form bracket for the standard size one provided in the box and the installation then took about five minutes. I am happy to report that I have achieved my main objective--increasing my screen resolution to the native 1920x1080 of a new 21.5" LCD monitor--and a bonus is that the DVI image quality seems a bit improved over the prior VGA signal.

i bought this 5 days ago just got it when i got home and i plugged it in in less than 5 minutes. easy installation and i was only able to order this because i have an old pc and this was the only one that would work thats what dell said! thanks amazon i wasnt able to order this on dell but you came through
