Advantages: Cheaper than good brands Disadvantages: not competitive enough
of buying it, for an extra £30 I could have got a card that would still be good today.
My advice for people who are not sure about graphics cards, keep to the well know brands, pay attention to the core speed, memory speed, whether its ddr/ddr2/ddr3 and how many pipelines it has(think of it as traffic on a 2 lane motorway is slow but then 2 more lanes open and traffic goes faster, the more lanes the less bottlenecking). If you have to save money maybe think about buying a card from a good brand but with less features or smaller amount of memory.
Don't know if it's just me being unlucky or it's the GeCube brand use cheap PCB and chips even though the core is ATI. ...
Advantages: Quick, High Quality Disadvantages: Loud!
This is my first up grade of a new graphics card since i got a new computer. It was easy to install just plug and play. You have to install the driver, which takes a bit of space though. The software is really good, it helps you adjust the the settings really easily and even has different interfaces for different levels of knowledge of computers. The picture is really sharp, even for the desktop menu, once you get on to the games you really know how good it is.
Ive played the sims 2 (with all of the latest expansion packs), Rome: Total War and age of empires III with it, the picuture clarity is amazing and the speed is also good (for the price and for the memoy hungry games) no freezing up or the regular stutter.
However, ive always had a really nice and quiet computer, but the fan of the gfx card makes it quite loud!
You can ...
