Advantages: price

Disadvantages: horrible drivers

I got this card to replace an aging graphic card on my friend's PC. I haven't used any ATI card before this. I have heard of ATI, and the card was cheap so, I bought it. As a 2D card, it is quite good. The screen is sharp and everything works. As a 3D card.... not so good. Some software works, others don't. Updating the drivers does not help much either. Only after much tinkering did I get to work with most of the 3D games I played. 3D speed is average. Please don't compare this card to a Geforce because you can't. However, if you are not concerned with maximum FPS then this card will suffice. If you want a card to do mainly 2D work and occasionally play 3D games, this could be the card for you but because other cards do a much job and have so much better drivers, I cannot recommend this product.
