Here is a video card for the gamers out there, it has a processor clocked at 625 MHz with 16 pixel pipelines, and 256 MB GDDR3 memory, there will be more details on the specs below.
It has dual DVI connectors (with two adapters so they can be used on VGA-style monitors as well), a VIVO port, and an integrated TV encoder putting out HDTV, or S-Video so you can connect the graphics card to your TV.
Over clocking: This card is capable of been over clocked very well, and I have heard of people getting this card to run at the speeds of an XTX version of this card and can do so all day long, to achieve this use to the tool called ATItool 0.26 (newer versions may be available) I have not personally tested this card at over clocked speeds so I do not recommend doing so until you have looked it up, and even then do so at your own risk. And if you do decide to over clock the card I recommend that you make sure you have a good form of cooling in your system because over clocking causes an increase in heat produced by the graphics card.
Battlefield 2142 = 71.90 FPS (1024x768x32, no AA, Trilinear Filtering, max Quality)
These are just some of the benchmarks available from this card, if the settings are increased the game will still run, although you will get a lower FPS a game can still run ok with an FPS as low as about 35. So if you play a little with the settings you may find a better setting to suit you of performance and quality.
Specs: Processor clock speed: 625 MHz 16 pixel pipelines 256 MB GDDR3 memory Memory Clock: 1800MHz Memory Size: 256 MB Memory Interface: 256-bit GDDR 3 DirectX 9 Maximum Resolution: 2560 x 1600 Dual DVI connectors VIVO port Integrated TV encoder S-Video Socket
Pros: Extremely Fast. Over clocks well. Runs most games on the market today. GDDR 3. Great image quality, cooler reacts to UV
Cons: Not DX10 compatible, does not have the newer crossfire bridge ( makes crossfire a little more tricky), Loud Fan
In The Box: Radeon X1950XT 256MB Driver Disk HDTV Cable VIVO Cable 2 x DVI to VGA/D-sub Adapter
Price: Around £85 (depends where you shop)
Overall I think that this card is a good card for almost any gamer, extreme gamers may want to go for the new DX10 compatible card now available from both NVIDIA and ATI. Although if you want to play any of the games out on the market today and most that will be out in the near future then you can get this great card (because I think they will continue to make games for DX9 for quite a while).
