You certainly get the best hardware from VISIONTEK. The performance metrics on the adapter is amazing. I have not found any other adpater that can provide the 3D rendering performance found on the 9800 Pro. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer This review is from: VisionTek Xtasy 9800 Pro 128 MB DDR AGP Video Card (VGA, TV out, DVI) (Personal Computers) I've been a consistent ATI graphics card user from "way back", since the old ISA based VGA Wonder and Graphics Ultra Pro days, circa 1988. ATI has never let me down in reliability, compatibility, and sheer performance. ATI's video chipsets always seem to be the best and most stable performers on the market. I purchased the Radeon 9800 Pro card as a replacement to a newly purchased Radeon 9700 Pro, which is now running top notch in my wife's Athlon 64 3200+ machine. The Radeon 9800 Pro's AGP 8x interface and Direct 9.0 compatibility makes this graphics card a top-notch graphics and gaming performer.

I can run EVERY game I own at 1280x1024 32bit all options at max at 60+ frames. Some can even run at 1600x1200 like vice city. I have not overclocked at all. Heck at the resolutions and speed I'm at now I don't see any point.The image quality is outstanding and the games I run on it fly. Forget the other comapanies and pick this ATI VisionTek Xtasy 9800 PRO card up and you will be very happy, I know that I am. |
