Summary: An awesome graphics card or older games.....
Review: ......yes very decent. Doesn't do well in the current games tho, and DON'T expect to be able to run future gamer's with this graphics card. It performs quite well though, it layed it's cards tougher than I expected. It beats out the NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS, even the 64mb version. This is a worth it card for older games, but you can tweak out the setting's in today's 3-D games to have a good trade off between graphics and frame rates. But really? Frame rates? Who needs them? I got a better frame rate in half-life than I did with the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro I tested! This card isn't bad. It can just use more power and features. That's all. Gaining nearly 20-27fps in unreal tournament 2003 with high details enabled and at a decently low to medium resolution.(such as 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768). Really, theyre isn't any urge to upgrade to a advanced 3-D accelerator graphics card with mighty power without having to spend a big buck on a budget, do everyhing card pratically, or top of the line high-end. Todays' games only require a HW T & L enabled graphics card with multi texturing and single pass capabitliesi that's somewhat directx8.1 compatible. So what the radeon 7500 doens't feature programmalbe shaders, 3-D textures, and stuff like that, and doesn't feature fast budget, or high-end acceleration graphics quality, as long as you can play today's games at a playable frame rate with good visual quality and tweak out the settings, there's nothing wrong with this graphics card!!

Summary: Great card for the price
Review: At first I had problems trying to install the card into my HP Pavilion running win2000. It went in fine but had problem loading. I followed the directions but when windows was loading, it'd just hang. After several times trying this and making sure everything was put in right, I went into safe mode (with VGA), disable the existing video driver (again) and reboot. Still didn't work so I went back into safe mode, disabled existing video driver (yet again) and this time installed the software and reboot. It works fine. So for people who have problems installing this on win 2000, try installing the software in safe mode. Hope this helps.

Summary: an awful card
Review: Good parts: installation was easy, im not a computer-type just an avg young person. Has many cool features, TV-out,dual moniter etc.

Bad parts: my computer is 5 years old with a really crummy vid card, and i play a lot of online games with it. They usually run 20 or 30 frames per second, which is barable but i could do better. so i went to comp usa and the guy told me to get this one because it was plenty fast. I installed evrything properly but even after tweaking and adjusting to the max all i could get was 12 fps. This card was so useless i exchanged it for a PNY technologys Verto geforce 4 ti 4400 card, which rocks btw....rocks hard.

Summary: Fast and Cheap, what else could yuo ask for.
Review: Have used this video card for about 4 months now. It is very fast. Even by the standards of a gamer. Delivers steady picture on my 22" Viewsonic CRT @ a 100 mhz refresh rate, 1600x1200, 32 bit color. As I typesetter/desktop publisher who spends 8-10 hours a day staring at my screen, this works so well. I can't give it 5 stars for performance, because many cards are faster. If I could give it 5 stars for value I would because ... this card is about the best you can get for the price.

Summary: Ready Radeon
Review: I bought this card because the Vid card in by machine was really getting pushed around by "MahJongg Master 3". The DDR memory that the G4-MX 420 didn't have cinched the deal. Installation of the card & newest downloaded drivers was a snap. Over the course of 2 wks., it's been great. Yes, this is only a budget card, but a VERY GOOD budget card. "M.M.3" is now fully under control.

Summary: Best Card
Review: I bought this card to because it is a reasonably priced dual moniter card. I have two CRT's (21" and 19") and wanted to increase my desktop real estate. It does not work well for this purpose. Installation was easy in my Dell 8100 system, but there is only one vga plug on the card, the other is DVI. Great if you have a LCD, but otherwise you must use an expensive adapter... Anyway, the output from the DVI port is of very poor quality. This may be because of the adapter, but regardless. it does not have a useful second output. Too bad, now I'm trying to use two separate card, which will be much harder to configure.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS CARD IF YOU ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE
Review: I bought this card, and within minutes of purchasing the card on Amazon.com I tried to cancell it, I purchased the wrong card. I tried all the right way of trying to cancell it, but it looks like Amazon can get a card ready for shipping within minutes of a purchase, but the delivery date is August 15. I have written you an email, now how long will it take to get a response with Amazon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Product
Review: I did't buy this card for gaming purposes but to watch movies that I had on my computer. The quality was not that bad and setup was fairly easy. Just follow the directions and your set. This card comes with an s-video output so it doesnt look that bad when it goes on tv. The price is pretty good and it does its job. The only expensive thing was when i had to get long audio and s-video cables.
