i have ran everything perfect except crysis on ultra high settings....however i could run crysis on high on windows xp (but not vista) card was tested on all these games and is flawless.
this card is extremely stable under both windows xp and windows vista.
i am a mac user and have built a super pc for gaming, i use xp pro, so my review will be no help relative to vista.it's an even better value since it has come down in price so much.
i bought this card to replace my old ati radeon 850 xt which came with my old dell xps gen4 system in aug.
flashed my puters bios, installed latest drivers, even re-installed windows.
i installed windows 7 and it gave this card a 5.9 overall.
nets a 5.9 in windows performance index.
boot into xp, met with error on screen "can't load mom.implementation", click it off, reboot system, same error upon reaching xp desktop.
pros: it runs great in xp, playing prototype at max 1600x1050 around 20-40fps, haven't tested audio cons: linux support is down right ugly.
windows environment would not come up.
for some reason, couldn't get it to play dvd's in xp.
after being installed, i couldn't even install windows on the new computer because it was overheating.
addition to any pc and will impress all gamers and video editors...if your system is limited to 2gb memory, then you may find that windows virtual memory needs to be tweaked to a larger number...
this pushed my windows experience number for graphics up to 5.9 (the highest it can go right now).
other thoughts: windows xp sp3
i am running xp, server 2003, windows 7, and ubuntu x64.
pros: there was no to report cons: about 1 week into owning this card it dies on me giving me a bios error about it , there's no real overclocking on this threw there software or can't be
cons: a little glitchy on video playback through windows media.
so nice and cool running in my dell xps full tower case.
what's not so great:?doesn't work with windows xp pro sp3 "obviously others have liked this card, but i couldn't get it to work at all.
it works in windows just fine.
other thoughts: ati's catalyst 9.4 does not allow you to set lcd scaling options under windows 7 x64 rc.
pros: advertised nice and heard great things about it from friends, owned previous modles and loved the cards cons: north bridge driver filter windows does not seem to like it (vista 64)likes
