Game Description

If you are looking for a great card to go into your non AGP Mac this is the best card for you. It took about 2 minutes to install it into my computer. It actually took longer to install the drivers then it did to get the card in. First of all I didn't see much of an improvement on Quake 3 at 640x480 so then I cranked the texture quality to the max and the resolution to 1024x768 and that's when I saw the difference. It was faster at 1024x768 then at the lower res. So I went on to test Heavy Metal, 4x4 EVO, Myth 2, Oni, Rune, and Unreal Tournament. In each and every game I was able to take it to it's highest quality and the highest resolution without it slowing down. It doesn't have full screen anti aliausing yet, but as soon as ATI comes out with the next update that might change. Also it comes with an adapter for your TV so you can play games and do things with your TV as the monitor. And if you want to, you can plug it into your VCR and record you playing games, surfing the net , and other cool things. If all you are going to do is play games, go get an Nvidia, but if you are going to play games, do web design, and pretty much anything else this is the card!
