| First the VGA port was to close to the end of the card, i had to cut my case to be able to connect my moniter, after that i had to find drivers, the cd included only windows 98 and windows 2k drivers.
-this device preforms worse then the 64MB NVidia card it replaced -
I will never purchase diablotek products again, or recommend them to any of my customers, they are giving ATI a bad reputation. |

| You get what you pay for is true in this case. 2 hours to install a simple plug and play card is not the ideal way to spend a friday night. Drivers are not compatible with ATI Hydra vision or ATI Catalist. After downgrading the atioglx1.dll to an earlier version finally a stable card for a low end machine. If you have time and are very technical this card will work or spend $20-30 and go enjoy some time with your kid. |

| Buyer beware, this actually uses the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 chip set. In other words, it's using the chip set for laptops in a desktop card. Why does that matter? Because it's much harder to update the drivers from ATI. I have a widescreen LG monitor and had a tough time finding drivers that would support a 16x9 screen resolution. Luckily, I found the Omega Radeon drivers, which work beautifully: http://www.driverheavendownloads.net/download.php?site=5&file=rad_w2kxp_omega_38205_7z.exe |

| If a company has a shoddily made and broken web site, I'll think twice before buying one of their products next time.
In full-screen 3D and some other cases, the monitor on the DVI port would go blank for 1-2 seconds every few seconds. The LCD had to constantly auto-adjust. This gets EXTREMELY annoying after a few minutes.
I'm pretty tenacious, so I played with lots of settings and driver permutations to see if it would have any effect. Nothing.
Diablotek support was profoundly awful. I wrote them a detailed e-mail, and all I got back was a link (no other text) to the wrong driver! I replied and tried to clarify, and then they just sent me an RMA form. I had had enough. I contacted Tiger and returned the item.
A reviewer of another Diablotek card on this site (can't find it anymore) mentioned the same blanking problem.
TigerDirect should reconsider doing business with Diablotek. They are in completely different leagues, professionally. |

| I purchased this card to upgrade from an onboard graphic chipset (S3 ProSavage DDR). The installation was smooth, software that came with the card was outdated (ATI has new software and drivers on their website). The card did what it was supposed to do (for the most part). I am not a gamer, so it was sufficient for me until it came to playing DVD or MPEG files. When running with full hardware acceleration, my computer would first hang the application (I tried several: Windows Media Player 10, PowerDVD, Nero Media Player) and then lock up.
The problem did not occur when I turned off the hardware acceleration (at least to the point where DirectX is not longer used).
I contacted ATI/AMD tech support about this, as well as Diablotek.
Diablotek tech support was very disappointing. Do not even go there.
ATI actually tried to help, but before they answered my power supply failed.
I am returning this one. |

What You Should Know

DVI: Digital Visual Interface! What
Is It?
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a
video interface standard designed to maximize the visual quality of digital
display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital
projectors. It was developed by an industry consortium, the Digital Display
Working Group (DDWG). It is designed for carrying uncompressed digital video
data to a compatible monitor or projector, and is partially compatible with
the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D).
DVI represents a major improvement in image quality over the older VGA
standard.
The DVI interface uses a digital protocol
in which the desired illumination of pixels is transmitted as binary data.
When the display is driven at its native resolution, it will read each
number and apply that brightness to the appropriate pixel. In this way, each
pixel in the output buffer of the source device corresponds directly to one
pixel in the display device, whereas with an analog signal the appearance of
each pixel may be affected by its adjacent pixels as well as by electrical
noise and other forms of analog distortion.
Previous standards such as the analog VGA were designed for CRT-based
devices and thus did not use discrete time display addressing. As the analog
source transmits each horizontal line of the image, it varies its output
voltage to represent the desired brightness. In a CRT device, this is used
to vary the intensity of the scanning beam as it moves across the screen.
The two types of DVI interfaces are Single
Link and Dual Link. Following are the features and benefits of each:
Single Link - The Single Link interface is limited to a maximum pixel
clock of 165 Hz. It uses four (4) twisted pairs of wires (one each of Red,
Green, Blue and Clock). Maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz.
Dual Link - The Dual Link interface is most common for today’s modern
LCD monitors. It provides three times as many pixels as the Single Link
interface. And its maximum clock may exceed 165 Hz. Dual Link uses six (6)
twisted pairs wires with two (2) each for Red, Green, and Blue, as well as
on pair for Clock. Dual Link’s maximum resolution is 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz.
When you use the Dual Link Interface you can use a longer cable because of
its higher bandwidth. Dual Link also provides HDCP support, which is
required for Blu-Ray playback. |

 What Is DDC2B?
The Display Data Channel or DDC is a digital connection between a computer
display and a graphics adapter that allows the display to communicate its
specifications to the adapter. The standard was created by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA). The purpose of this standard
is to define a communications channel between an electronic display (e.g.
CRT, LCD, etc. displays) and a host system. The channel may be used to carry
configuration information to enable ‘plug & play’ and allow optimum use of
the display. The channel may also carry display control information.
Today’s computing and consumer electronic
environments demands that systems offer user-friendly set-up. With the
growing popularity of intuitive and simpler software user interfaces, hardware
manufacturers are responding with plug-and-play systems and peripherals.
However, for the user to receive full benefit from these advances,
standardization is necessary. VESA, as the prominent standards organization
for graphics subsystems, has developed a communications channel between the
host and the display. This communication channel offers basic configuration
information plus a standard way of communicating advanced functionality.
The current version of DDC, called DDC2B,
is based on the I²C bus. This is a serial bus that allows multiple bus
masters, although DDC2B allows only one master – the graphics adapter. The
monitor (e.g. a CRT or LCD) contains a read-only memory (ROM) chip
programmed by the manufacturer with information about the graphics modes
that the monitor can display. |

Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!

Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
Before you
buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For
example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed
only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard.

AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.)

here to view our selection of AGP Cards
PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. It offers
performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express
connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to
connect high-speed devices such as high-end video cards. The slots come
in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently,
most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming
come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer
must have at least one available PCI Express slot.
