Most Favorable Review

ATI believer now

HIS Radeon X1900XTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card H190XTX512DVN
HIS Radeon X1900XTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card H190XTX512DVN

Pros: Highest quality I have ever seen, not as loud as people say. Scored 10900 3dmark05 with amd4000 out the box on quality. The quality and fps are so high in bf2 I'm just amazed I'll never buy anything other than ATI, n*dia burned me for the last time.

Cons: None price was higher than another site but Newegg always makes good.

Overall Review: I owned the 7800 gtx 512, you can see my initial review of the card. It was fast and it was great but at $xxx This card destroys that card. You can even see the texture filtering at 16x aa on the 7800 gtx 512. This card made me a believer.

Most Critical Review

Artifacts = ATI

HIS Radeon X1900XTX 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card H190XTX512DVN

Pros: Fastest card scored 10900 out of the box. Was alot faster than my 7800 gtx 512

Cons: I'm returning this card due to the fact it is showing artifacts like crazy. The drivers really really need help 6.2 cat I tried. For the last year ATI has neglected to fix poor shadowing still. Great card just poor poor software support.

Overall Review: Great speed , great quality in non E/A games. Sorry for the 2 review but f4rcry ran flawless but the moment I ran other games the artifacts just kept coming. Bad card? I have no idea but the shadows has been known for over a year now.

120hz and this video card is FAIL!

XFX Double D FX-797A-TDBC Radeon HD 7970 Black Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
XFX Double D FX-797A-TDBC Radeon HD 7970 Black Edition 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: Great in games Works fine in 60hz

Cons: ARTIFACTS with 120hz monitors Desktop artifacting glitching splitting the screen

Overall Review: Have owned this card for 1 year now and at 60hz it ran fine no issues. December we got a 120hz benq and this card hasn't stopped artifacting during desktop only. In games it is fine no artifacting. I have searched everywhere and it appears this is an issue with all 7970 cards at 120hz.. Tried new dvi cables, tried different computers I have tried all drivers to no avail. DO NOT BUY IF you intend on taking advantage of 120hz monitor. There is absolutely no excuse at this price. Power supply 900 antec mb sabertooth cpu 2600k No overclocking Support from XFX DD have lead me nowhere I got one email on how to maybe boost 2d clocks which may be a voltage issue of 3d and 2d causing this with ati cards. There is no other fix that I have run into nor would I try to boost 2d clocks to 3d clocks increasing temps not worth it.

As good as top Keyboard makers

4 bad of this same model in a row

SAMSUNG 40" 1080p LCD HDTV - LNT4061F
SAMSUNG 40" 1080p LCD HDTV - LNT4061F

Pros: Great picture and colors right out of the box.

Cons: Sound is horrible, Bad Backlight bleeding after owning 4.... all 4 had something wrong each were brand new from a big box store.

Overall Review: I'm on my 4th one in the last month. First one had 21 dead or stuck pixels, 2nd and 3rd both had dead pixels in the center of screen. 4th one like the 2nd and 3rd one has SEVERE backlight bleeding that can be seen at 9 feet away. It totally drowns out any color that passes by the screen while watching blu ray movies. I do admit the first one had no backlight bleeding but 21 stuck red and green and a few dead turned me off so bad. The big box store refuses to post my review so now I know their ratings and reviews are filtered. Back light bleeding to a point is a given but this is about the size or a little bigger than a quarter and we are talking pure white light leaking. This is total the 8th samsung panel I have owned and the 8th one with either dead pixels or severe to moderate light leaking.

Awesome card

Pros: This card is just awesome, it laughs at BF2 with everything set to high. I will admit though if you don't have a strong cpu that will be your bottleneck.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Runs every game on super high levels of graphics. It's scoring 10,550 in 3dmark 2005.
