ATI's Athlon 64 Chipset with Integrated Graphics

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the everybody's-doin'-it dept.

EconolineCrush writes "ATI has released the first Athlon 64 chipset with DirectX 9-class integrated graphics and PCI Express. The Tech Report has an in-depth review of the Radeon Xpress 200 that highlights the chipset's impressive performance and surprisingly competent integrated graphics. It looks like the Radeon Xpress 200 could be the missing link that helps AMD crack Intel's dominance of the consumer and corporate desktop markets."

    The notion that you could actually spot the difference between two graphics cards using the same resolution

    Uhm... I can assure you, that's not hard. Not always, at least. Have to say that this is from over two years ago, when I connected my brand new 19" screen to a cheap TNT2 card. I almost cried when I saw the blurry image, and considered bringing back the screen.

    Until someone told me I should get myself a sane graphic card, which I did. And indeed, the blurry image went away completely.

    Although I'm told nVidia does a better job these days, I still prefer my good old G450. :-)
