So-So Acceleration, but wonderful image quality April 25, 2006

Myriads of reviews on the web will tell you about this card's so-so 3D acceleration, and I must agree ... it's not that impressive when you tried last year's model (X800) and noticed that it can perform faster and smoother. But everybody seems to ignore ATI's claims that this card renders much clearer pictures and text, vibrant colors and even smoother video than its predecessors ... all of these are quite true. I use my PC for work 90% of the time and play the occasional game or watch the occasional DVD. Still, because of image quality, I found this a good investment. I would have preferred one of these super-sharp Matrox cards if I NEVER payed any games, but hey ...
The bad: a) this gets very very hot, even with the large fan in my original ATI (I would not even think about getting some of the copy cards with even less cooling), so I wonder how long it will last me, b) whenever the chip's acceleration is working very hard, I hear screeching noises in my Audigy soundcard.
Fast Card but you need to keep it cool July 25, 2006

Just let me start off saying the card itself is very fast. I just replaced a 9800pro and its night and day faster. The only issue i had was the heat that it generated. The card became quirky in World of Warcraft when it got hot. This was addressed when i cleaned up my drive cables and such to allow better airflow and changed out one of my fans to a higher volume fan. Its summer and the room was hot so its probably not all the cards fault. =)
Fast AGP Card February 1, 2007

For people with computers that still have AGP Slots The X1600 Pro with 512 mb might be the fastest card You can buy considering many new cards are PCI-E Only. This card might not be the fastest, but for casual gaming its very fast. I replaced my aging 6800 with 128 mb with this card and it improved framerates about 5-10 fps better.
 Dissapointed! August 3, 2006

I bought this card thinking it would be a major upgrade from my Radeon 9600 Pro, 128 mb, and I was completely dissapointed! Granted, this card may be an awesome performer when it comes to digital movie playback and things like that, but it sucks in gaming! Going to trade it for an X800XL.
 A good upgade for AGP slots January 10, 2007

Not the top of the line, but it's within the budget of my minute purse. With PCIexpress becoming favored over AGP, this is only 1 or 2 cards down from the best AGP card currently offered by ATI.
However, if your looking for Ultra performance, think nVidia 8800 (and a 500+$ dent in your bank account). Upgade your system with PCIexpress!
