VisionTek Radeon 9100 128meg

[amd_man2005]

Yea, i finally decided to buy a halfway decent video card, so I got this today for $75US. Has anyone used this card themselves, and will I be able to overl**** it? Stock speeds are 250core/250mem(500DDR)

isn't the 9100 like a MX440? I'd hardly call it a ' halfway decent video card' if that is the case...probably a low end budget card at best

if you had saved a little more money you could have gotten a Ti42000 which OC to the level of a Ti4600 with out much effort and is still a great performer in most current games

I dont care, its still gonna be better tan my onboard vdeo

The 9000/9100 are far ahead of the MX440's not only in speed but in DX support as the MX440's are only DX7 units while the 9000/9100 are DX8 hardware plus very good for those on a very limited budget.

ATI themselves compare the 9000 pro to a MX460 as can be seen at the bottom of this page:

Radeon 9100 uses the R200 core so its pretty much a lower clocked 8500 which outperforms all Geforce 3 cards and is slightly slower than a Ti4200.

So for $75 US they're a bargain for ppl on a budget.

This one is actually a relabeled Radeon 8500LE, i just found out, and I cannot dind it for under $110 on Priceatch


Still no answer to if ill be able to overclock it

I used to have a GF4Ti4200 & a Radeon8500(9100) in my 2 home boxes - the GF4 did bench higher - but the difference during actual gameplay was not noticable

I still think the 9100's are one of the best values for the money you can find right now....as long as you get one with decent clocks

I haven't used a visiontek9100 - but I set up my brother-in-law with a power color 250/250 R9100 - his did 280/280 right out of the box & is probably capable of a fair bit more with the pencil Volt-mod:D

[amd_man2005]

is 250/250(500DDR) a good clock, sry, i kow nada bout video cards

[Wiggo]

It is a good clock as some R8500's were clocked lower but you'll certainly notice the difference over ya old one.

[RDR]

yeah 250/250 is a good one...

there are 9100's out there w/ 230/230, 230/200 & 230/166 clocks

I know this video card will top my Moms Geforce2 MX400, which i thought was great, and here GF2 kicked my onboard video, Heck, my Trident 2meg PCI tops this onboard crap

EDIT: i need to watch my mouth again, im getting really bad

[minibubba]

I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but make sure you disable the onboard video before you go installing a new card ;)

once had a guy that had a SB audigy and his onboard sound going at the same time...it was causeing a number of problems

:cheers:

Get this, untill i got this tweaker bios a few days ago, there was no way to disable onbaord sound or video on the POS
