ASUS Radeon 9800XT Video Card

User Reviews for ASUS Radeon 9800XT Video Card

Reviewed by: kparekh

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Its packed with host of features. Its fast & reliable.

Weaknesses: Price is the only factor but other than that nothing as such.

Overall Evaluation: Overall, its a good bargain! Though the high price factor is a concern but can be done away with considering the performance. I'll recommend it for those who demand great stability & high performance but compromising a bit on the price. Its best for gamers & home video makers. The bundled s/w is feature packed but would take some time to get used to.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: runs stable even when overclocked and of course the free half life2 game which they probably charge you for in the price so its not really free.

Weaknesses: The perfomance is almost not worth the money

Overall Evaluation: I had a 9700 pro which I knew I wouldnt see a whole lot of dif. but I played some games and the 9800xt had that little extra performance I needed to keep the frames up in hoggy games like vietcong and halo.But let me tell you something that might blow you away.I have 4raptors on a raid0,3.3p4 1000fsb,1gig corsair pro4000,9800xt Overclocked and on the single player in halo I have to turn down quite a few things.This game will bring even the best pcs to their nees.So take it from me dont spend the money thinking this card can handle anything you throw at it! I cant wait till another card comes out that is actually FAST!!
