What a PITA

Reviewed By: Nsaney on 7/26/2008

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Very nice graphics and speed. Well worth the money once you get it to work right.

Cons: Was almost ready to send it back when I finally stumbled across drivers that appear to work right with Windows XP. You can find them here on the ATI site.

I also had to install Media Player 11 for some video's to work even with K-Lite Codecs.

Other Thoughts: I spent a long time fighting this thing but it's hauling balls now with out any problems so far. It's a fast, cheap card if these drivers hold up. :)

Pros: Lots of ram and good quality video

Cons: You have to use the drivers from Sapphire's site. This is my second Sapphire card so I'm used to using only their drivers.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: DirectX 10 support for under $80.

Cons: Impossible to make work reliably. Even after uninstalling old drivers using Driver Sweep and installing CD drivers and current online drivers from Sapphire's website, this card gave me stop errors and hard reboots after >30 minutes of gaming. Don't waste your time or your money. Or, if you wanna see for yourself, check Sapphire support forums...the thread for this card is 63 pages long.
