HIS Rocks

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: HIS Is Amazing. I owned a radeon x700 AGP 4x/8x card from them, and i was extremely impresed at the performance, it out lasted my new pwrclr radeon x850 PCI-E card.

Cons: That i do not own this card yet. But as soon as newegg gets my RMA of that junk PwrClr card, it will be mine.

Other Thoughts: Just a question. IS it possible to not have the blue LED's on? like is there a way to turn them off? I only ask because the inside of my new case is all green LED lit, and a blue LED fan would throw that off a bit.

Pros: IT HAS 12 SHADER PIPES!Runs very cool in my system and the cooler is near silent and flys at games. The new 6.8 drivers (if your system is equiped with 1 GIG of RAM or more) will handle F.E.A.R at 1280x 1024 with 40 fps at high detail.

Cons: 128MB memory interface might be a problem down the road but i think this card will last me at least a good year and by then i will have enough to buy a better graphics card. Also this card might be to big for some cases beacuse the cooler takes up some
room. Keep this in mind when buying this card.

Other Thoughts: To all who read the reviews it HAS 12 SHADER PIPES! Its cheap and you wont be stupedified into RMAing the card because you are now educated after reading this review as to how many Shader pipelines this card has. The other reviewer however needs to do his/her homework! I mean come on they through away a great card don't do the same please I beg you! Special thanks to newegg for the fast shipin five eggs

Pros: I don't think you understand the architecture of the X1600 (or X1900 for that matter). There are 4 pipes each with 3 pixel shaders for 12 effective shader pipes.

Cons: I don't have one, yet!

Other Thoughts: If you want to unlock pipes, try the X1800GTO or X1900GT. Both of those have pipes to unlock.

If you want good performance for a budget price, the 3:1 architecture of the X1600 looks like a winner.
