  • 16 fags..=Nvidia fanboys

  • 16 fags..

  • anyone else notice the typo when they showed stalker. its said staker LMFAO

  • I want that 2900xt just because it has stalker on it. I love that game!

  • Hmm,Which AGP is better? HD4650 or HD2900

  • slow down man your speaking so fast i can't understand anything you said !!!!:-P

  • What's better? radeon 5450 or radeon 2900?

  • @stewy1897

    of course 5450 lol

    

  • @saruxelis Actually no, the 2900XT is faster, 320 stream processors vs 80.

  • @Protoking

    2900xt is faster but he ask : what is better? so the answer is 2900xt faster and 5450 is better

  • @saruxelis 5450 is DX11 but the card is to slow to play games with DX11 game effects enabled, it's a low end part so it uses very little electricity.

    2900xt is better for gaming.

  • @Protoking

    Yup 2900 xt is better for gaming :) I have 2600 xt :) but its AGP :( but maybe this summer i gonna update to PCI-E :)

  • @saruxelis I used to use a 2600XT but I since upgraded to a 5850 =)

  • @Protoking

    Nice :) but in my country technics (computer parts etc.) are more expensive comparing to other countryes :( (sorry for my bad english im from lithuania)

  • @stewy1897 2900 is far superior.

  • @Protoking sadly it turns out I have a pentium processor :(

  • 2:14 wtf did he say...lol

  • fully Direct x 10 compatible 'whooom'

  • this card cant even play stalker xD

  • does this guy still work for tigerdirect?

  • @schwazemoto thats y question too. i like how he explains gpus.

  • @schwazemoto Robin Walker (maker of TF2) had him fired because the black box is discontinued. He is an expert at firing people.

  • The Black box

    ITS FAWKIN RARE

  • It looks exactly like the 8800 GTX, rofl.

  • Boy how video cards have changed, i love watching these old vids.

  • I wonder why TigerDirect never did video reviews for the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2, 5870, and 5970? :D

  • @CaptianObviousIII

    they have made 3 video reviews of the 4870 x2

  • fucking wow no vga i saw this thing i was like this will me perfect and FUCKIN BAM BITH NO VGA

  • I used to own this card and I gotta say, I miss the kicks up the ass that ATI used to get for their drivers. Back when I bought this card, it had random crashes and errors with its own bundled game shown here (STALKER) and most reviewers and users pointed this out and got pissed off enough to complain and someone even tried to sue them for this, if I still remember correctly, which made them fix the drivers eventually. Now they're screwing up their drivers for games that worked before...fuck ATI

  • Fuck ps3. Be a man. Play real computer games. You can shove your controller up your ass.

  • LOL. I though randy was just made up? he is REAL?! LOL XD

  • logan's such a fanboy :p

  • i still have this card in my dads PC.. works like a charm even after 3 years

  • your dad must be terrified when he knew you put a nuclear reactor on his computer....

  • any news about logan? other than he was in razetheworld last year?

  • Just buy a 3870...

  • 3870 is a bit slower than 2900 xt

  • @hanrinch But it's a lot chepaer.

  • by term of "cheaper" i just dont think how cheap a 3870 can be back in 2007. a standard hd 3870 cost $299 when it came up while x2900xt cost $399. it may cost 100 dollars more than 3870 but 25~30% faster. not even 8800gts 512 can beat x2900xt.

  • fail....even 9600gt raped that shitty gfx. the only feature that is useful is 512 bit memory bus which having advantage on professional graphic industry. but not home user. that card is absolutely horrible at gaming. but 3850/3870 just make it look good a bit... maybe because hd 3870/3850 are the worst gfx ati ever made

  • is 8800gt better?

  • no ati aint bad it just overheats n fucks up to the point where it desolders itself from the computer/xbox 360

  • k i just excahnged for the 9800 gtx ssc is it better than this?

  • @pyromiggz yes :) 

  • is this better than ati radeon 4550 hd?

  • no 4850 better!

  • soory But 2900 4times faster 4550 !

  • no the cross fire with Radeon sucks compared to 1 Geforce and SLi. Dont believe me look up the bench marks. Or even Bench mark it by your self, I did with 3Dmark09 pro.

  • do u guys know how to install steam on ur pc

  • an 512MB graphics card is good? someone rate how much good it is in /10 plz

  • hay! you!. yes you. could you help me? cuzz.. if you mabye buy a s.t.a.k.e.r graphic card deas the staker game only work on it? or mabye more games could run faster? i got to know! and i dont know if ill get a hard drive or a graphic card please help! i wanna play my Left 4 dead and left 4 dead 2 and company of heroes faster!!!!!! please!! some one telll!!!!!!!!

  • @zackKPC nowadays higher end games its like a 5/10.

  • 7/10

  • @zackKPC

    dude

    you ither got 256MB 512MB or 1GB of video ram

    do the math

  • >> lol

  • is this thing slower than the 8600 gt???

  • NOPE

  • thats not thge black box it's orange box :P

  • can the Asus HD4350 512MB stream HD video?

  • Is this better than the 3450?

  • yes, actually almost as good as the 3870, the Diamond Radeon HD 2900 XT is actually better then the 3870.

  • ATI does get a bad wrap overall. They do make good cards. I prefer Nvidia like most gamers tho. I prefer my 9800GX2 more than my newer 275GTX

  • ati bad?? have u seen the newer 5000 series???

    wheres nvidia response??

    i like ati muuuuuch better than nvidia and ati is cheaper tho

  • the only thing i have against Radeon is how unstable they can be sometimes..

  • naa it just depends if the card likes you or not.

  • I've got this card, it's still quite amazing. I can play almost all the newest games at highest settings. The only problem with this card is that it's noisy as hell!

  • got one for £26 and i'm well impressed. Doesn't need a huge amount of power as well

  • go on ebay to buy it new because its a rip off on any other site .

  • how much would this cost???...

  • its not weak, its faster than the 9400 gt

    of course,...

  • if it is faster than 9400 gt, can you compare hd 3850 with another nvidia product?

  • 3850, its more like competing with 9600gt and some times with 8800gts,...

    the nvdia models are preferable if your fan of crysis because its more faster in that game but in a wide range of games,..

    i more prefer ati's creation(bang for the buck^_^)

  • Comment removed

  • You do realise that the 3850 is almost as good as an 8800 GT? And the 8800 GT is probably 3 times as fast as the 9400 GT. 9400 GT is a budget card, they have those in the computers at my school.

  • everything is faster than the 9400 and 9500.. the 9 series is only fast from the 9600 and up :3

  • Thanks A Lot.

  • am thinking of getting a new card.and am on a low budget what card should i get for $150.(that's 17,000 rupees because am from sri lanka.

  • Where in the hell is sri lanka? What the hell is a rupee? LOL but for $150 bucks you should go with an ATI Radeon HD 4850. That card flies and will run any game today at his highest settings at playable frame rates. If you match it with a fast cpu then your all set for a few years.

  • i realy hope u didnt get nay card yet goz a GTX 260 u can get it with 157$ so do ur home work and never buy any thing if u have a low end psu much like i did :P

  • why dont they benchmark every card, i wish they did that, like they havnt benchmarked this one

  • Once upon a time maybe, but now, no...

  • never was it the best.

  • No, it never was. Computers and graphic cards and everything involved evolves rapidly, within a week of the 360's graphic cards design, it was out-dated.

  • true. It has a weak ass GPU.

    The PS3 has a GPU thats based of the 7900GTX. Which is 3 years obsolete.

    PC gaming FTW.

  • @aeagle326 7900 gtx?

    

  • @Avataryoutuification thats a geforce 7 series GPU from nvidia. by the way, the 7900GTX pwns all of the 8 series except the 8800GT/GTS/GTX

  • @nelizmastr I bet my GeForce 6100 owns it.. ah not really, I can't play hd 1080p without artifacts. Thats my inergrated chip gpu (720p is fine) and I have a HD 4670. Meh, if i'd realised the 5670 existed I would of gotten that and then I could just just be nearly as good as the 7900 gt.

  • @aeagle326 PS3 GPU is based on the 7800GTX not the 7900

  • @nelizmastr But RSX is faster than 7950 GT!

  • @aeagle326 actually the PS3 - Reality Synthesiser (RSX) is a modded 7800GTX 256MB.

  • @aeagle326 7800GT I think, I'm not sure though. But it is definitely a 78xx+

    Ha ha, I'm too lazy to check the wikipedia article. :)

  • @aeagle326 thats somewhat correct. the cell processor and the RSX chip work seamlessly and act as one GPU with a few more threads for CPU processing. its about 8600gt equivalent. the GPU itself with no assistance is about a 7900GTX. but the PS3 also works like no computer does either with taking 3 threads off a 3.2ghz cell processor and is used 100% for graphics rendering. thus boosting performance of video games by about 3 to 4 times.

  • @aeagle326 It wasnt obsolete 4 years ago...........

  • @aeagle326 rofl i bet my vision tek radeon hd 2600 pro with only 256 mb ram is a ton weaker also dosnt matter cpu on ps3 is bitchin

  • actually the gpu from ps3 was 7800gs rather than 7800gtx. which is a lot weaker than standard 7800gtx from desktop pc. xbox360 also having gpu that's only equivalent to x1600xt in performance. both processor are weak as hell which run as good as slow ass pentium 4 which these console aint capapble to handle complex game like crysis 1 and stalker. even metro2033/crysis 2/gta4 for console are absolute lack the feature compare to pc..

    another word, console game sucks.

  • @Sskouloudis

    put down your controller and actually play a real pc game other than bejeweled and Maplestory.

  • @kidcouger i aws running two of these back in 2006/2007, then switched to a 4870 x2 now on a gtx 590

  • @Sskouloudis GAYBOX IS SHIT BITCH!

  • that power supply consumption comment is wrong, im running a 650W Antec eartthwatts powersupply and my 7600GT is running better in TF2 / CSS / L4D due to the 2900 not been able to draw enough power from the card.... i hope

  • nice just bought a ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

  • yeah, and by running 2 of these in crossfire in my computer, it REALLY beats the hell out of one 8800 gtx card. ATI for the win.

  • screw those cards i have this card and it is fast.

  • how many watts power supply would i need if i was running just the 2 graphics cards with the one psu

  • lol "black box" kinda epic-failed there =3

  • Is this still work getting?

  • no benchmarks :'(....who cares no1 will buy this krap now LOL

  • he didnt cover up the cd key for the black box (now the orange box)

  • what is realy interesting about this review????? yes.....there are NO BENCHMARKS which compare this card to nvidias :)

  • its a 2 gen old card does it really matter about the benches for this now? all the new reviews have benches

  • OMG im SOOOOOO getting this!

  • you mean this old crappy card?

  • why is it crappy? i got several weeks ago, and it works PERFECT

  • how much did it cost you?

  • i bought it on the internet for $525

  • WHAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! you must be joking! if you are not then someone thought that you are a sucker and he was right. you bought an HD2900XT of 2007 for 525 dollars?! you could buy an HD4850(which is a thousand times better than this junk) for 160 dollars or an 4870x2 for around 500 dollars! men i.....i need pull myself together from the shock..................

  • holy SHIT. HOW did you get so royally raped?

  • Aw man, dude you could've got a HD 4830 which is like $100 and performs a lot better.

  • no i'm running 2 of these in crossfire, thats what makes it perfect

  • a single 4850 or 9800gtx+ whoops 2 of these asses

  • You can get a HD4870 for 300$ and it will rape both of your 2900 XT at once. Infact benchmarks show up to 3 times the performance.

  • Oh yeah.

  • i have a 650w power supply can i use 2 of these?????????

  • you are not very good with hardware are you? look at the vids date, june 28 2007. this card is old and not only this, but most testers said it suck. if you want suggestions let me know to send you messenge.

  • i admit im not good at ati cards thats why lol..i want to know if the ati 3850 rums good with 650w power supply... thx

  • the card in the vid its an HD2900XT. its not an 3850 and yes your power supply can support this cart. it can even support bigger cards. i would advise you to forget about the 3850 and look at an 4830 wich is better and it costs around 120 euros

  • thx

  • with a 650w psu can i run 2 4850 crossfirex

  • i like this guy but he pissed me off a bit cuz he says this is awseem about 50 or 60 times

    lolz

    but ..

    i like this vid nice one not the guy

  • What happened to Logan? Fired?

  • He moved some where his account razetheworld

  • look at 1:15.... Staker? wtf xD

  • u hear that? he doesnt take any GUFFFFFFFFFF

  • some things I had to add. He talks really high and fast so it's noticable he only wants money, prolly thinks everything he sells is shit.

    also.. STOP SAYING "something like that.."

  • LOOK INTO THE CAMERA

  • hahah he is really funny!! 0:42

  • They are used for Auto Cad, a 8400GS and 8800GTX do the same performance in Auto Cad, so Quadro cards are more optimized for Auto Cad, but id love to see one in gaming benchmarks.

  • yeah good point and also, i would love to see a benchmark with a quadro fx card. i think that would be amazing, cause dam thouse cards are the most powerful gpu on earth!

  • they are workstation cards

  • DVI fucked up!!! PINS STUCK IN THE FUCKING CARD! shit!!!!!

  • lol 'when DX10 comes out.'

  • anyone need help in here!! can anyone tell me if this "1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE 9500GT 1024MB PCI-EX Graphics Card" is gonna be compatible to my pc,my specs are D9200,intelcore2 duo,3gigRam and 375watts of power supply,And what wattage this card need?hope a samaritan reply tnxxxx.

  • you shoould have at least a 400 watt PSU, and does your motherboard have a pci express slot?

  • Gamer OSD....aka : XFire? :P lol

  • cant belive how good this card is i got the 2900 pro wich is exactly the same just clocks a bit slower but u can crank it up to the same as the xt .Never seen graphics this good .nvidia eat dirt ati rules and over next few years they will swallow u up .gforce my arse lol
