How would you rate this video card?

Hello all,



I'm interested in your opinoins of this video card...

256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon X600 SE HyperMemory

I intend to purchase a dell system and this is the card that comes with it.



It is important to note... I plan to purchase either 3 24inch wide screens or 3 20inch wide screens also from Dell. I'll be using mainly for charting stocks on 2 screens and playing video games on the thrid. Will this card handle those kind of applications?



Any thoughts or opinoins?



Thanks you.|||Don't get an SE version ... cause the major change in it is the ram capacity... and they give you a crappy GPU



You have to look for a good GPU(400MHz is fine) .. because it is the unit which specifies whether you buy a video card or not ... more about GPU here:-

The X1600 graphics card is ok, but not good for hard core gaming and sort of sttuters on games like Doom 3. If possible, try to get a nVidia, preferabbly the nVidia 7300. it is around 90 bucks, yet smokes most of the competition.



to directly answer your question, yes it will handle all of that. however, like i said, if possible, you should see if dell offers nVidia as nVidia is more preferred for for buisness type stuff not to mention gaming.|||I looked through Dell's computers to find this card, and I couldn't. I did find a 128MB Radeon X600 SE, anyway perhaps you could update with which particular model Dell you were looking for. Anyway, the Card will probably do fine, however if you are gonna invest in 3 widescreens you might wannna invest in a top level graphics card as well. This card should be able to handle all, the charting of stocks will not be graphically demanding, and this card should work just fine for gaming.
