mudmanc4 Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sweet , IMO , you can't go wrong w/ ATI. They have been around for some time . Not to forget the compatability. Damn , 12 pipelines :shocked: look at the resolution . The only thing I can say is whooa!

Crazy Naru Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 ATI cards are ok but the drivers for those cards are bad..I always had problems with the drivers I prefer to have nvidia cards (7800 GT is what I have right now) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17694-just-bought-this-any-good/#findComment-206797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
granpa Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 COOL!! just wanted to make sure i didnt make a big mistake.. its a birthday present to me =) the 13th Nice choice for your birthday, glad to see you have good sense and /happy_bday.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':bday:' />:' /> whenever it is. ATI cards are ok but the drivers for those cards are bad..I always had problems with the drivers I prefer to have nvidia cards (7800 GT is what I have right now) At his age tommie you probably thought about GTO, how many pipes, speed and your probably right having problems with the drivers.

TimPawlak Posted February 8, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 this thing without overclocking is a 5.8 in vista =) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17694-just-bought-this-any-good/#findComment-206855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted February 8, 2007 CID Share Posted February 8, 2007 i thought their only office was in california.. i dont know for sure, but when i go to newegg to track my order it says departure from some address in california so i just took that to mean that it also ships from there.

Le_Murphant Posted February 9, 2007 CID Share Posted February 9, 2007 Newegg seems nice, but i don't think they ship in Canada. Tigerdirect has a canadian file and it has always served me right, mainly for gadgets tho. As video cards go, i'm Nvidia, but mainly because I know them. And it IS too bad that we can't overclock in vista Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17694-just-bought-this-any-good/#findComment-206908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
