Summary: My $400 VisionTek experience
Review: I previously purchased a VisionTek Ti500 for $400 when it first came out.Within a few months, the fan failed and the card overheated. Rather then send me an RMA, they sent me a new fan without any instructions on how to replace it - it was no straightforward and the install chipped a ceramic on the board. They replaced it with another card whose heatsink simply fell off of the card. When I requested an RMA, they said that VisionTek had gone bankrupt and that they were the new VisionTek who was not required to honor the warranty. They offered me an upgrade option with several cards - all but one resulted in a higher price for the upgrade then to buy the card at Best Buy. I offered them to exchange me their lowest-priced upgrade card, which would have cost me $40 (mind you, my original card was $400), or I would escalate and FedEx the company CEO at the following address: Hartford Computer group, 1610 Colonial Parkway, Inverness, IL 60067 and post my experience on online store reviews. They failed to respond in 2 days, so here is the result. Please note that I am neither advising or dissuading anyone from buying their cards, but simply posting a truthful and unbiased account of my experience with VisionTek.

Summary: Bad making and poor customer server
Review: The card failed two months after purchase. I requested a RMA and returned the card. After no news in the first month, I started to inquire in emails. No reply. I wrote several more emails. No answer. I called the customer support number on their website. No way to reach a tech support in the system and even no choice given to leave a message. I tried their tech support forum. No way I could log in.
I finally found a good phone number at the end of the second month and someone answered. The guy said will try. Well this is the end of the third month. Nothing.
I would never go anywhere close to a visiontek product again.

Summary: Captain Amazing, smaking your face
Review: This is a sweet card. I only paid $150 for it on here a few weeks ago. Don't use the drivers on the CD though, they stink. Go to ATI's site and get the latest. This card simply rocks in all of my games. I can run all of my games at 1024x768 with most settings maxed out. Halo performs well. Doom 3 Alpha doesn't stutter a bit even with dynamic shadows enabled. Currently running Far Cry demo, Max Payne 2, Jedi Academy, Unreal 2, UT2004 demo, Raven Shield, and Need for Speed Underground with no problems. Everything looks awesome! I did have some issues with Call of Duty "stuttering" which I could not resolve. This card is definately going to perform when D3 and HL2 come out! my crazy ring; Athlon 64 3200

Summary: Low price. High performance. Great card!
Review: To my surprise, this graphics card runs even the most graphics intensive PC games of today. Thanks to DirectX 9, and other integrated graphics accelerators, I can use it to play Doom 3, FarCry, Half-Life 2, and Call of Duty...all on "High" quality settings! The realistic water and dynamic lighting effects found in most of your favorite games will come to life with this card. It even delivers exceptional frame rates when playing online, multiplayer games like Counter-Strike SOURCE. This card also excels in 2D/3D programs and digital video in general.
I give this card two thumbs up. I highly recommend it.
