Dean of 3Dxtreme has for the last 48 hours been working with the Ati Radeon 7500 video card (lucky blighter -ED) and is pleased to report what he's experienced. The Radeon 7500 came through the review with shining colors.
Here's a blurb: "I believe Ati has released a high quality product with the Radeon 7500 and I am extremely excited to see what the 8500 can do. While the 7500 wasn't able to compete with a Geforce 3, the results posted here are well worth the $199 retail price. (Seen on Pricewatch for $152 already) The performance of this card puts it under that of a Geforce 3 but on par or above that of a Geforce 2 pro and ultra. The drivers are stable and decent but with more maturity should be able to unlock even more performance. As a gamers video card the Radeon 7500 is perfect for the gamer on a budget that wants the most price-to-performance for their buck! While taking this review from a gamers standpoint, there are many other features of the Radeon 7500 that should not be overlooked. Second to none dvd playback and Dual Monitor support using the Ati Hydravision technology."
"Customer satisfaction is a fundamental priority for us as we pursue the Xbox business," said Bill Norman, vice president, Microsoft Worldwide Operations.
