I finally got around to installing this card (barely,due to size...had to move my chipset fan) and am a bit disappointed.
I came from a 1900XT and while the 8800 card is definitely faster, I am having some problems with a few games.

I got mine last week. Still haven't opened it yet - struggling with whether it is better than my current card.
Ah, I'll probably give in and install it. :)
Another deterrent has been uninstalling the ati drivers and getting my dual monitors back up and running. I'm a little reluctant to...
Wow, thanks for that link. This goes in my bookmarks...
Based on these benchmarks, it looks like there is only a marginal improvement, and frankly not worth the cost. Now if this were a GTX, I would definitely say this was a keeper, but I can find other uses for the $300.
Since the Best Buy deal for this card (which I bought as is on its way to me) I have been wondering if I will see a lot of performance difference with this new card. Even though it was a good deal it's still a good bit of cash.
I've tried to find some benchmarks to compare but with all the...
Just got my shipment notification and tracking #. Ordered on 6/18, which puts it at about 2.5 weeks.
Still debating whether to keep it though...I almost canceled it because I am not sure I will see significant improvement from my ATI 1900XT.
I wasn't even in the market for a new vid card but I still bought one because it is a great deal, even with tax. Like everyone has said, if I change my mind (or the wife pummels me) I can return it.
I currently have an ATI 1900XT...will I see a significant difference (paired with AMD 4600X2) ?
I am trying to decide on a new gaming mouse. One of the things I want is for the driver to let me choose a configuration for the buttons based on the application that is running. So for Q3 it is a certain config, for Photoshop maybe back and forward are mapped to zoom in out, etc.
Can...
I recently had a NAS drive blow up that contained a database of all of our contacts and addresses. For several years, I've been using an Access database with a custom entry form to manage this stuff. But now that the worst has happened, I would prefer to switch to a dedicated app. Features I...
System stats:
Asus A8N-SLI, running ATI x1900xt single card. Driving two Dell 2001FP flat panels thru dvi, and running xp pro.
I just got this card recently and have been enjoying it for the most part, however, I cannot get the 3d control tabs to show in any driver I have tried...
I fixed it.
To summarize, my system WAS going to S3, then something happened that would only let it go to S1.
I had switched my mouse from PS2 to USB, and discovered that in the Device Manager/mouse properties the power management option was set to "Allow this device to bring computer out...
Well, that's true if I keep the stock cooler, but...this machine has 5 hard drives in it (one raptor, 2 hitachis in RAID0 and 2 more hitachis in RAID1) and those put out some heat, which means the internal case temps are not so great. Some other posters have said that stock cooler on the 1900xt...
Like I said, I used a dell coupon to get a 1900xt to upgrade an x800xl. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, so it's still shrinkwrapped in the box. In the meantime, I've been reading about the upcoming r580+, Directx 10 and Vista (and also saw the Crysis demo..wow)
So I don't know what...
