ATI always had better video cards than NVIDIA, but their drivers suck. They use stinking InstallShiled for installation (once a good installation program, now one of the worst, biggest, slowest and most problematic). But to make it even worse, they use NET framework for their Control Center, which is a part of driver installation. So when you're reinstalling Windows XP, if you don't have NET framework around you can't install drivers.

When you see all that, no wonder their drivers suck. They should hire somebody with a bit of brain in their software deparment.

Over time this fan doesn't keep this card cool enough to function as it should. Plus the fan is very noisy. With that said this will be the last ATI product I will ever WASTE my money on. Nvidia will be my next brand of card
