A little expensive, but the people running older P4/Cel/Semp/XPs might find a use for it.

 

[Yukikaze]

I want one of these instead of my ancient 8400GS PCI. That HDMI output will be quite useful.

 

[TAViX]

To expensive. I thought it was for AGP mobos...

 

[cool_recep]

Why not PCIe x1?

Why not PCIe x1?

Here's a decent reason why:

Great job HIS! Now do AGP.

 

[Red_Machine]

What? More PCI? Just let that interface die already...

What? More PCI? Just let that interface die already...

My other rig's Soundcard and Network card beg to differ.....

True, but at the same time that's 1/3 of a 300 dollar PC, which will be faster than what they have.

This would probably knock the socks off of my old agp Ati 9600XT, which is still working btw after 6 years at my folks' internet box!

 

[twicksisted]

wow i bet DX11 games will pwn on the old PCI bus!

I had one of these from Saphire, the mobo and CPU died before the GPU did, it lasted through 3 machines, back when ATI made good cards.

PCI cards like this are excellent


how many times have you had to troubleshoot a PC, and wondered if it was the PCI-E slot that was bad, hmmmm?

 

[pr0n Inspector]

This thing murders all your PCI bandwidth.

Thank HIS for this excelent Frankenstein, i do love it when manufactures create such cards for mission critical as said before and this is the only pci ati card that accelerates HD Video right?
I only heard of the 8200 and 8400 GS as PCI before no ATI 3xxx HD where released as pci right?

I have not heard of a 8200 card for PCI, but the following relatively modern cards exist for PCI:
nVidia: 8400GS (I have one), 8500GT (I have one), 9400GT, 9500GT. The was a 8600GT by Albatron but good luck finding one of those.
ATI: HD2400Pro, HD3450 and now HD5450.

 

[AsRock]

WOW double the price of there other one sheesh.


Although been thinking of picking up a 5450 due to the very low power usage.

 

[mtosev]

Pci? Wtf? Lol

 

[Mussels]

hmmm, can these handle 3 monitor eyefinity?


if so,i can see them being used for massive multi monitor setups

 

[Disparia]

HOLY MONKEY SACS! It's blue? That won't match my red and black motherboard!!

Just thought I'd join in with the hysterics this release is causing.

 

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

depending on resolution, it perhaps could handle 2, but 3 I just don't see how due to the PCI bandwidth limitation.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Good times, nice to see more pci cards. But i don't use the sh** anymore. I still want that rare 8600gt pci card, but hey you know i would buy this dx11 pci card if the price was say 25 bucks.

 

[Completely Bonkers]

Great card, shame about the premium price

i'm pretty sure this card has more than enough grunt for three windows desktops.
