ATI FireGL V5100

Advantages: Excellent For Use In Gaming
Disadvantages: Poor Installation software

...The ATI FIRE GL V3200 has many different good features about it, starting off with its high performance graphics with 128mb memory on board. It also has brilliant control over the system. It will not crash the computer because it can take any game at the moment because nothing has the minimum requirement of 128mb-Bit Graphics. It also features HyperZ III Technology . Full support for the latest OpenGL® API and Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0. Hardware accelerated rendering using OpenGL Shading Language and DirectX 9 HLSL and also Dual Monitor support. Overall I would have to recommend the quality of this graphics card to be high quality and it has excellent graphics and can run any software. In my experience I would definitly buy this if you were using it for business or gaming.... Read review

But the effect of using smaller memory that makes me bought it. For the price of around US$ 800, this card performs quite good for rendering comparing to its big brother, ATi FireGL V7350. In some cases, this card has approximately same performance with V7350. One thing that I should note is the noise produced by the cooler. Unfortunately I don't have the proper tools to exactly measure those noise in dB, but it was quite noisy. Conclusion : If you are dealing with a huge amounts of texturing data, despite of its 256MB memory, this could be a great card to get the job done. But if you don't, then find another card with bigger memory could be the better... Read review
