N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	1/6/2008 2:20:31 PM Nice work NEWEGG! Pros: Excellent, I upgraded from a GeForce FX 5200 :( to this modern graphics card. i am impressed that I didn't have to break my bank to upgrade. Im holding on to AGP for as long as possible. Woot! to newegg for another great buy. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Anemephistus Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: more than 1 year	12/29/2007 3:48:06 AM Anemephistus Pros: The X 1300 has been in my computer for about a year. I would recomend this card to anyone needing shader model 3.0. It has always functioned for me. It will run vista and it will run games that do not require DX 10. If you need a budget card to get by on this one is dependable at standard settings. Cons: Do not adjust setting above standard ! It is not good. Also as of Dec. 2007 this card is at the end of it's use for gameing. It is power hungry and crashes if updated "sometimes". Other Thoughts: Overall not bad, just install and use as is. Don't try to get fancy with this card.(it gave me the blue screen of death a few times at random.) Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
roger Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/9/2007 9:57:59 PM VERY NICE Pros: in wifes computer and if i had a AGP on my board she would find her card missing ATI never lets me down Cons: could have been a little cheaper Other Thoughts: nope Did you find this review helpful?

TurboAAA Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	12/3/2007 10:22:05 PM Would be perfect low-end, but the price... Pros: Great card for those who need to run Vista, The Sims2, or Flight Simulator and only have an AGP slot. Cons: The current price does not match up to what you get. Other Thoughts: As of this writing an AGP HD 2000 series card is $120 here on newegg. So I would either just jump to the latest generation or go with a higher X1000 series.

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year	11/25/2007 11:45:09 PM Pros: A great mid-low end card. Has served me well for almost 2 years. It will play HL2 well on med-high settings with a modest resolution. Cons: Pretty outdated by now. Don't expect to run modern games well at all. Card is pretty much maxed out. Don't expect to overclock very much. Other Thoughts: P4 3ghz, 1.5gb ram dual channel, 80gb hdd, winxp-sp2 Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Steven H Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year	11/3/2007 8:48:38 PM Decent Card Pros: This was not a bad card. It served me well when my gaming needs weren't too great. Plays NFS Carbon at low/med settings fairly well, Half-Life 2 at med/high settings with fairly good FPS. Cons: It just isn't fast enough for today's demanding titles unless you don't mind playing without all the eye-candy. Other Thoughts: I'd reccomend this card for the average user for sure. It gets a 4.2 for gaming in Vista and 5.9 for Areo .. so if you are just the occasional gamer, it's not a bad choce. However, I'd reccomend going with one of the newer mainstream cards for those who take games more seriously. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Chris Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	10/22/2007 12:26:54 PM Good Card Pros: Good card. Runs oblivion on medium settings with minimal lag. (plus my 1GB RAM probably helps) Cons: Can be rather loud at times. Like another review said, it sounds almost like a small vacuum. Other Thoughts: First card I got died after a month. ATI sent me a new one no problem. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
lol wut Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: more than 1 year	8/21/2007 9:10:09 AM It served me well... Pros: Back in June 2006 I got this card for my birthday. I wanted it because I wanted to play BF2. Well, it didn't run it that great :P It ran most games fine though, some on High Settings too. It gave me loads of fun, and on some game loads of lag. Cons: Didn't run many game well even on low, but I should have known that. Other Thoughts: I had a AMD ATHLON XP 2400+, 1GB PATRIOT RAM, and an ATI X1300PRO. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Klinean Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	8/16/2007 9:27:33 PM Not worth the bling... Pros: Pretty fan! :) Cons: Where to begin.... (1) Horribly out of date drivers (2) Impossible to configure the resolution in digital OR analog. (3) Incompetent tech support (ATI) Other Thoughts: Please be advised -- at the time of this review, this card will NOT work write on a screen with an native resolution greater than 1280x1024. If you are still humming along with that resolution, then this will suit you fine....but I could not get my new Samsung 204bw (1680x1050) to work right with this card. The best ATI would tell me is -- wait until the next update!! You know something is horribly wrong when your on board graphics (GeForce 6150) will work with 1680x1050...and your PCI-E card add on won't! Totally unacceptable. I sent it back, bought a 8600GT (Nvidia)....which should be here tomorrow. Newegg should seriously drop the price...because this card is not worth what they are charging in August '07. For twenty smacks more, you can get an 8600GT, which should totally blow this card away. Heck, for the money the 7600 is SUCH a better card. Right now, NVidia is kicking ATI's rear end...and you'd be really dumb to get on the ATI bandwagon right about now. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Mike Tech Level: average Ownership: more than 1 year	7/23/2007 4:08:16 PM Not good for Dual monitors Pros: Good card, simple installation yet out of date drivers by the time I got it. Cons: I have owned the X700 lower model of this card for several years and it has great features however you will find that it's dual monitor support does not hold a candle to what Nvidia has to offer. In addition the drivers do not work correctly in WinXP 64bit. Prepare for disaster when attempting to install if 64bit. In short, If you are a 64bit or dual monitor fan, I recommend Nvidia cards.

gov Tech Level: high Ownership: more than 1 year	7/21/2007 8:53:33 AM Pros: good card, noticeably faster than the nvidia 5500 i had, has ran games pretty good Cons: no cons, Other Thoughts: has been a good card but it is time to go the new cards, old specs, intel celeron d 3.06 ghz, pny optima 1 gb ddr2 240 pin, asus p5vdc mobo, ati radeon x1300 pro, new specs,intel q6600,corsair 2gb xms2, evga 680i sli mobo, 8800 gtx Did you find this review helpful?

R-Tard Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	6/9/2007 2:34:42 PM love the card its good for wuts it's worth Pros: its pretty great guys. its good for wut its worth any way it 's great but no comparison to an 7600GT from Nvidia. Cons: nuthin yet Other Thoughts: the only reason i got this is because im gonna use it as my last card for teh AGP setupI'm going with PCI-Express next and its gonna be dual 8800GTx Did you find this review helpful?

tkosma Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	5/30/2007 8:02:31 PM Pros: Decent price for a video card. Cons: This card will not work with many Dell Dimension PCs. I sent mine back to ATI to have them fix the issue with no post after installation. After being gone for three weeks, got the card back and it still didn't work. Returned for an nVidia 7600GT. Other Thoughts: Appears to be a nice video card for a good price, but check compatibility if you own a Dell. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Bill G. Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	5/23/2007 1:43:41 PM Great card, but only works correctly the first week Pros: When it works, if works great. Cons: While I play Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast (on occasion, not all the time) and sometimes Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Usual problems is lockups, the NPCs standing still and/or turning silver. Other Thoughts: I think it's heating problems, I put my hand close to the card and feels hot. It could also be because mine is in an Micro-ATX case, but I have a rear exhaust fan and a slot fan, along with a 2 year old CPU fan and heatsink. Did you find this review helpful?

Dontwannaknow Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	5/8/2007 12:15:50 AM CRASH CITY! Pros: Performs as advertised for games like Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and Command and Conquer: Generals It is a significant improvement over my IGP S3 K8N800 Cons: UNTILL IT STARTED CRASHING!!! Only on World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade and Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and seeminly at random. Read a review that said not to link it to the power chain that's connected to the HDD so I used the adapter to link it through my laser drive power chain. Worked for a day then started crashing again. Fired my system once and had to disassemble the whole thing and rebuild it to make it work again. Kept using the VGC and it kept crashing and fired again but didn't take my system with it but now corrupted. Gonna collect on warrenty... maybe just a bad seed. Other Thoughts: eMachines Model #W3105 with an extra 512DDR400 and a 480W power supply replacement. Now on my IGP again and DLed the latest drivers... works a bit better than it did before I go the card... If this VGC can't be fixed I'm getting a X16?? series. Did you find this review helpful?

Risingpowers Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	4/23/2007 10:50:24 AM Great card Pros: I disagree with BorgTorg down there, I got much better performance out of mine, and a pretty high overclock (641/495). I played F.E.A.R. at mostly high settings at 1280 x 1024, 4x AA. Cons: Fan's loud. Other Thoughts: Used in a system with 1.6Ghz Sempron, Gigabyte K8-Triton, 1Gb RAM, Diamond Xtreme Sound 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Borgtorg54 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	4/6/2007 3:07:13 PM Good card Pros: This card does its job. If you want to just play games like fear, far cry, or oblivion at reasonable frames and at acceptable quality (not high) at anything at or below 800x600. Good quality card, the color and the component layout is of good quality, and fan looks pretty sick. Card is quiet. Also it comes with plenty of adapters that you will happen to use if you have a media center, which is what I recommend this card for. Cons: Not worth Overclocking, #1 if you overclock above 615Mhz on coreclock you will artifact, and if you overclock above 410mhz (820mhz effective) the same. Unlike previous gens you cannot gain significant ratings. Other Thoughts: Very surprisingly, it will run last gen games like doom 3, guild wars, Half-life 2 and wow at full res up to 1280x1024@60hz between 26-50fps with 2x spatial temporal antiailiasing (basically 4x) and hq 16x anisostropic filtering, with little or no sacrifice in performance. Also note there is a jumper that you can switch between nstc and pal. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Killerzuchini Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	3/23/2007 11:32:44 AM Great Card Pros: Runs every game I have played without a hitch. It is one of the most powerful "Low-end" cards you can buy. If you're a budget gamer, I would recommend this card to you. Cons: I have it overclocked and it runs at about 70 degrees, which is ok for overclocking, but the fan can get LOUD. At 100% speed, it sounds like a vacuum in your computer. Other Thoughts: I've had it for about 5 months without any problems. It has the molex splitter so you can hook it up into your HDD without wasting a cord, but I wouldn't recommend it, as my card crashed quite often with this setup. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

N/A Tech Level: somewhat low Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	3/14/2007 11:28:46 AM Budget Card Pros: Its Cheap and easy to install. Runs Doom 3 , Dungeon lords and WoW on my system all smooth with no chop. about mid graphic settings. Cons: Noes not work with a DELL PC, had to send it in 4 waranty repair took about 14-18 days. Other Thoughts: If your a budget gamer like me and do not have a DELL I would recomend this card. If you are a high end Gamer then you already know... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

AVIVO Rocks. Cons: Terrible Cooler, You should replace with a Good Third Party Cooler. Other Thoughts: I would have give this card a 5, but the Cooler is soooo Cheap.

Experienced Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	1/2/2007 7:08:09 PM ATI WINS Pros: If you have a problem reading, don't buy this card!! It is simple to install and is well designed. Cons: If you don't understand the airflow of your system, you will have overheating issues. This is the one downfall to all manufactured PC's. I installed this in a Dell Deminsion, fortunately I design PC's for a living and I was able to change the air to compensate for the heat. Other Thoughts: PLEASE make sure you are carful with updating drivers and redirect the air in your system in order to keep from thinking this card is bad. ALSO, check your clock speed settings for AGP in the BIOS/CMOS if you don't, you may only be running in 4x mode and will probably hate the card. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you?

cfbest04 Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	12/27/2006 3:37:16 PM 2 problems with card Pros: Great graphics, easy installation Cons: Does not work with common Dell systems(ex. Dell Optiplex) without modification. ATI customer service took 6 weeks to get modification done. 2 months later, the card blew for now reason. Will now be sending back for warrenty service. Other Thoughts: Do not expect ATI customer service to be helpful if you run into difficulty with this card. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

snipe360 Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	10/13/2006 4:58:02 PM Fantastic! Pros: i upgraded from a ati radeon 9600 pro and it didn't even come close to th ati radeon x1300pro. i can now play oblivion on high settings. there are no ridge lines in the game. it's amazing. Cons: installation wasn't too clear. driver that comes with wasn't too good. just download the updates from ati and it's fine. no other cons. Other Thoughts: runs hot (like usual ati's) but it's a small price to pay for great graphics at a cheap price. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?

JA Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	9/16/2006 8:02:59 AM Great Pros: I upgraded from a NVIDIA Geforce 2 MX/MX 400... so it's REALLY GOOD! Easy installation**! Drivers are great (don't listen to these people who say they are worthless)! They are BETTER than NVIDIA's. BF2 Medium to High Setting depending on how much RAM. Cons: All my games can run on full settings with good fps... but if you want to run Battlefield 2 on high settings your going to want at least 1 gig of RAM. Other Thoughts: **Easy installation... well yes... but I had to get a new power supply because I only had a 160W. This graphics card requires at least 350W 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

DHS Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	7/17/2006 10:34:45 PM Dell 4550 owners beware! Pros: Works well on my old AMD 4x/2x AGP linux system. Cons: DOES NOT work on Dell 4550's! Other Thoughts: The card worked well on my old AMD linux machine (4x/2x AGP). But I got no post on my Dell 4550 (4x/2x AGP). After much research, it turns out that ATI recognizes that the x1300's and x1600's just don't work on Dell 4550's. As of yet, neither Dell nor ATI can figure out a solution to this problem.

N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	6/9/2006 7:36:15 AM Signal loss issues. (Screen blanks) Pros: Great when it works. Good price. Cons: I've got signal loss issues. The longer I use the card the more frequent it becomes. Starts out with the screen "blanking", for a second, once every 30 minutes. After a couple hours of constant use, it's once every 3 minutes. No errors, just blank screens - no reboots required. Going through tech support right now. They just "audited" my system. I'm suprised at how slow this tech support process is. Other Thoughts: This is the second ati card to have have problems. First was my 9800 Pro, when the fan broke off. Now this.

luke Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/24/2006 6:06:19 PM quality card Pros: I got this card as an upgrade from a ge-force fx 5200 so i geuss my opinions bias cause anything loks good after that. also i got a nice new monitor with it so that might be part of it as well. but this card is a great run for its money. it runs on high, and may i add beautiful, on hl2 and medium on BF2(or high and REALLY laggy)good update from old generation cards. Cons: not much other than mabey some screen blinking after playing a game for a while.

Colbymh Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	5/21/2006 5:08:37 PM Pros: Good looking card Cons: Card sucks..Horrible.. WIll BARELY play Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. This card is rated as a low end-mid range type of card. Comparisons are done against 128Meg cards. Card overheats after 10-15 of heavy induced graphic gameplay. Wont even run with high res settings. P4 3Ghz, 1G/Ram. Other Thoughts: Keep your money and buy a RADEON X800 GTO with DDR3. Same price and twice the card. 4 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	5/9/2006 9:54:19 AM Great Card Pros: Fan(keeps it cooler than heatsink) 256mb x64 drivers! plays all current games good perfomance Cons: fairly large card Fan(louder than heatsink) needs connection to power supply Other Thoughts: I bought this card from fries b/c i was tired of having problems installing 9600 x64 drivers. For yall who dont know that is a mess. I saw this card and it said it was made for x64 drivers. I plopped it in and had no problem. I wasn't used to having no problems on x64 drivers. Oblivion sets its defaults at high. You can tweak the default resolution even higher w/o a loss of performance. IT hasnt given me one problem yet. So i recommend this card for any needing good graphics for a fairly low price and those who are fed up with screwing around with x64 drivers 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Cons: I have to get more ram to stop the lagging from Guild Wars but other that that no real cons that can't be fixed.

After about 2 months it stoped working. Customer service was the worst. My cp was broke and the only way to claim warrenty was online(No warrenty claims over the phone).Does that make since?

HD Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/18/2006 4:28:09 PM Pros: I had no problems installing to my motherboard. My powersupply already had a cord that fitted the little plug--So I didn't have to use the divereter. Was easy to plug my monitor into the back of the card, the nice little adapater makes dual-monitor support. S-Video plug is a little touch, but hell you have HDTV out... What else do you need? :p I've so far I've only played GTA: SA & Sims 2 on high settings.. Software installation was a little confusing when all the dialogs cleared off the screen I was unforsure if it was still i nstalling or not, I had to watch task manager to make sure there was still something there.. Very nice card, I would definately recommend it to anyone who is looking for an nice AGP card and is willing to spend about $xxx. Cons: Not an AIW (but I didn't really need one). Good card for sure, I can already see improvements in graphics. It's currently runing at 8x (I think?). Some major lag after installation, easily fixed by going into Devie Manager and playing with 'Update Driver' (I've had this problem before with ATi card for some odd reason. Earned a 4 star because of the major lag issue. Other Thoughts: Pretty good card, I'm not complaining. I didn't know if GDDR2 would run on my system but it did. Just makes ure you got the AGP 4x/8x interface. On Newegg it said recommended 256MB of System Memory, when reading thru some documentation it read as 500MB for best performence. (I have 2GB so it's not prob..) 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Squidly Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week	4/2/2006 5:46:04 PM More here than games Pros: This card plays games well but where it shines is the new video transcoding feature. ATI claims 80% speed increase... ITS TRUE!! If you've spent hours transcoding video forget about using your CPU the GPU goes much faster. Cons: Not as many pixel pipelines as the card this replaced but Ive not noticed. Other Thoughts: Great value 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

sniper69 Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/12/2006 8:54:34 PM So Sweet!! Pros: Absolutely increasable I am running 1280x1024 on BF2 with everything set to the max!!!! It runs flawlessly, in fact I have my AGP bus running at 82mhz (stock AGP is 66 MHz) and this card give me absolutely no problems, I would push it farther but I have maxed out the NVIDIA overclocking utility settings. I take #1 or #2 spot on every server I play on. Cons: NONE!!!!! Other Thoughts: If you are thinking of getting a new video card this one was worth every dollar!! 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
One man driver team Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month	3/5/2006 10:04:29 AM Run Away Pros: The quality and game play is great and smooth. Cons: Well from my experience ATI has the worst driver support around. This card has been announced that it will not have Linux drivers till spring of 06!! Wish I knew before I bought it, but that’s my fault. However, there windows drivers are a mess also. See other thoughts!! Other Thoughts: Hope that you have a windows disk with SP2 rolled up. If you ever have to re-install the drivers requires SP2. While updating my computer Froze x10 times until I could finally install the video driver. Once it was installed however, my problem only got worst. The driver conflicts with a memory location that is in use by windows . This causes flickering at start since it is trying to write to a memory location already in use. ATI = RUN AWAY!! 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?

BigT Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	3/4/2006 6:26:58 PM Good card for the money Pros: Easy to install, ATI quality and support, reliable, stable, good clock speeds. Cons: A little pricey for AGP, takes a separate power input and at least 300W power supply. Other Thoughts: I recently upgrade from a 128MB ATI Radeon 9600 XT to this 256MB Radeon X1300 PRO. So far this card has been an excellent addition to my system. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day	2/13/2006 7:23:34 PM Ummmm no..... Pros: Good price for a midrange or low end gamer..... Cons: I have an geforce fx 5700 ultra 128mb with ddr3 and this card is at least a year old and still performs almost as good as this card. I think if you are buying and AGP card go all out cause the technology is dieing. Other Thoughts: I took this card back. I had a 512mb version of this card and still returned it. If you want a great agp card buy the 6800gs or 7800gs I got the 7800 and am loving it to much. 1 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
justin Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	2/13/2006 1:07:48 PM Nice Card for the Price Pros: Great card for the cost Cons: none Other Thoughts: I wanted a nice card for under xxx bucks and I'm very happy with this. I'm one of those stupid people that figure if you buying a card with the ATI chipset you should just the ATI version. I'm playing FEAR and Doom 3 on my system and both play very well with this card. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
