Most Favorable Review

Great product! Rebate?

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100226L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3850 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100226L

Pros: This card is a pretty good card and great price to boot. Games look nice, not the top of course.

Cons: Does get a bit hot but stable with a good case and ventilation

Overall Review: I purchased this and it had a rebate. I mailed in everything and its been months...yet to recieve the rebate. Sapphire uses 411rebates.com for this card, and that site is plain ole terrible. I dont know if I will ever get it, but it is borderline criminal to advertise something and not stand by that advert. Hopefully most of you guys got yours, mine has been way too long. I am very meticulous about sending all the items requested and mailing it properly. Anyways its not a knock on the card, but the rebate procedure and perhaps Sapphire should look at other companies to handle the rebates.

Let me save you some time & money!

VisionTek 900192 TV Wonder 650 Combo PCIe HDTV Tuner PVR w/Remote
VisionTek 900192 TV Wonder 650 Combo PCIe HDTV Tuner PVR w/Remote

Pros: There is one pro about this card and thats it.... it works (barely)!

Cons: Let me begin by just a list of issues: 1. Cost is way to high for this product 2. Drivers & Software are dismal (and I am being nice) 3. Packaging by VisionTek is pathetic, all the components and tuner card is loose and free even when its shrink wrapped. 4.Help from their customer support is useless.

Overall Review: The tv card itself is ok based on the ATI design. The card works but its way too slow to turn on the TV (even on a highend system, see below) or change channels. The software development team from either VisionTek or whomever designed it for this card, are a bunch of apes without any real understanding of what people want. How idiotic do you have to be to put the tv controls over the lower left hand corner which blocks a good portion of the tv when in a separate window. I just dont understand why it takes so long to turn the tv on and change channels. I have owned previos All In Wonder cards upto X1900... none of them were that slow. My system consists of an Intel Q9450, ATI HD4870, WD Raptor HDD, Water Cooling, 2GB Corsair Dominator, Windows XP SP2 all patched updated. So honestly I know it cant be my system thats slow because everything works fine and quite fast. But back to the software, this is what kills this products and tosses it into the pile of cow dung.

Pros: Excellent little item. Stylish! Looks sleek in silver and black. Charges well. Has a dim light on top so you can cradle the phone in the dark.

Cons: Sometimes if not careful the phone will fall out of the dock when reaching for it. Just becareful in the dark.
