Underwhelming Customer Support, September 2, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: VisionTek Xtasy 9200 SE 128MB DDR AGP (VGA, TV out, DVI) (Personal Computers)
I purchased another VisionTek video card (model 5564) just 8 months ago, and I have to say that I'm not terribly pleased with the company's committment to customers. When I installed Microsoft Flight Simulator, it wouldn't detect my video card; so like any well-trained consumer, I went to VisionTek's site to download the latest drivers. But lo and behold! VisionTek's site offers no drivers or support for any model prior to the 9100, when they switched from Nvidia chips to ATI chips. The support that _is_ available is sketchy at best--two FAQs and a forum, where strangely, there's no place to post questions on any earlier product either. When I wrote their customer service organization for help, the advice I received was a one-line response suggesting I update the drivers. Thanks, VisionTek. Before you purchase this, or any, VisionTek product, make sure you check their website and find out more about their ongoing support.

I thoroughly enjoy this video card. Works perfectly fine for games (C&C:Generals, UT2003) , video editing, etc. I only occassionally use the TV out but it appears similar to what it does from my friend's more expensive video card. I am using Win 2K and the software sent with it works. I bought the card because it was cheap and in case I may need the VIVO function sometime.
It appears that Soyo motherboards have trouble with this. My DFI motherboard works perfectly fine with it. The other problem in other reviews, MS Plus, is probably due to the program.

... i just bought this, plugged it in, and it worked great! I can play pretty much any game on the highest settings at 1024 x 768 resolution. I've tried call of duty, unreal tournament 2003, warcraft III, need for speed underground, and more all at the highest setting, amazing graphics =)
