    Video card question

    Anyone know anything about this card? Good for gaming? Kick ass for the price? There's 350 of em at that price, help yourself.

    It's OK, a detuned 8500 (R200) which doesn't support DX shader model 2.0, only DX shader model 1.4. It will do OK on games, but nowhere the 9600 or 9800 performance.

    At $42 it's a good price, provided it's not a bad batch of cards.

    Buster ~ According to specs on that card, it DOES support dx shader 2.0..Not familiar with that particular card m'self, but that's what I could pull up on it..

    For a 128m card & DVI / TV, it's a GREAT price. (Sure beats the hell outta what I'm runnin'.)

    Guy's a retail reseller & feedback looks ok...Why not?

    Me? I gotta find a 64m (+) card that'll fit into a Dell Optiplex GX150 slim case. Any ideas Buster? It's a funky layout - looks like it would require a half-height card & the bus is offset from the expansion bay door. Seen any of those?

    Here's another spec sheet on a bunch of ATI stuff.
    http://www.neeyik.info/3dspecs/ .

    I confess to occasionally floating around in the ozone, but on this one, I'm pretty sure it only supports shader model 1.4. Not that I would necessarily know anything about all this gobbledeegook. That Halo crash is fixed btw.

    It is an All In Wonder, so it does have all that snazzy TV tuner stuff, video capture and a real life vibrato dolls foot as memson voluptuizer snorkel and bedside attachment.

    As far as the optiflex, there's a number of half height cards made. Ask Dell.

    ugh, HOCP sucks, go to anandtech.com. Def not bad for the price, and should run all the current games (even my old Radeon 32 DDR runs UT2K4), just not the latest tech.
