Had been using an old graphics card and was not aware what was out there. The installation was easy and the results were just great. I am not able to see what everybody is talking about.
So Far, So Good!November 11, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Purchased this product to replace an ailing 64MB NVIDIA card that came with my Gateway PC. It's amazing how prices have dropped and specs have gone up.
Reviews for the card were solid and the price was right, so I went for it. Installation was straight forward. Just remember to uninstall your old video drivers before installing the new ones.
My applications look great under this card with bright colors and a better resolution than I had before. The software package includes stuff I don't need, so if I had to do it over again, I'd probably go with a custom install and omit some of the baggage.
I haven't done any gaming with the card, even though that's part of its target market, so can't speak to how well it works there. However, if you're looking looking for a solid video card at a great price, your search stops here. Highly recommended.

I purchased this card when my old card hit the dust. I couldn't beat the deal I found through Amazon. This is an upgrade to my 9600 Pro. I immediately noticed the difference. I can suddenly see a lot more detail in all of my games and they run just as fast if not faster. This card came out about two years ago as of my purchase, 8/08, so it's not a top of the line card, but for under $50.00 how can you go wrong. I definitely recommend this card.
As AdvertisedAugust 4, 2008 We needed to get an upgraded graphics card for one of my son's games. This was the least expensive option we could find and worked as advertised.
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro AGP Video CardJuly 28, 2008 Very good card overall for my use. Good features and supports high resolutions of the LCD monitors. Using the DVI hook up makes it even more seemless. Graphics card has the power to run at least all the programs that I am running with smooth transition.
