Graphics Cards

Vista View Saber 2020
If you're looking for a dual analog TV tuner and have an open x1 PCI Express slot, the Vista View Saber 2020 offers the best image quality we've seen.
Specs: 32 MB, PC

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
If you're looking for a gaming card to run Vista and play most games, ATI's Radeon X1950 Pro will get you there, but not perfectly, and its real-world pricing is higher than we'd like. We're more interested to see ATI's next-gen cards use the newly refined CrossFire dual-card technology, debuted here, but that will have to wait.
Specs: 1 GPUs - ATI Radeon X1950 Pro, 2560 x 1600, 256 MB, PC, 2

ATI Radeon X1650 Pro (dual link)
We don't recommend paying even $125 for this new budget 3D card from ATI, but assuming you can find it for $100 or less, the Radeon X1650 Pro will meet your Windows Vista and basic gaming needs without overheating your PC or your wallet.
Specs: ATI Radeon X1650 Pro, 512 MB, PC, 2

PNY Verto GeForce 7900 GS
Featuring Nvidia's latest midrange GPU, the $200 PNY Verto GeForce 7900 GS offers a strong bang for the buck compared to its ATI rival. We recommend it if you are looking to play 3D games on an LCD monitor, aren't too concerned about sky-high frame rates, and won't be bothered if a next-gen replacement emerges in the coming months.
Specs: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS, 2560 x 1600, 256 MB, PC

PNY Verto GeForce 7900 GTX Limited Edition (PCI-E, 512MB)
PNY's highest-end 3D card is overclocked and comes with a few helpful accessories. We just wish that it included a game or two, as a $500 graphics card isn't very useful if you don't have anything to play with it.
Specs: nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX, 2560 x 1600, 512 MB, PC, 2

ATI Radeon X1800 GTO
Its sub-$300 price makes the Radeon X1800 GTO tempting, but its performance isn't compelling enough, and upgrading to two cards is expensive and inefficient, thanks to ATI's clunky CrossFire technology.

PNY Verto GeForce 7800 GT (256MB)
With a couple of exceptions, PNY's Verto GeForce 7800 GT card provides everything we like to see from a 3D-card package, including fast performance.
Specs: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT, 2560 x 1600 / 85 Hz, 256 MB, PC, 2

Matrox Millennium G550 (AGP 4x, 32 MB)
Dedicated 3D gamers need not bother, but home or business users will appreciate the solid 2D performance and a new approach to face-to-face communication over the Internet.
Specs: Matrox MGA G550, 2048 x 1536, 32 MB / 32 MB (max), PC, 2

Dell Dimension 9200, Inspiron 530s and XPS 410 Radeon X1300 Pro (PCI-e, 256MB)

Sapphire Radeon 9600XT / 128MB DDR / AGP 8X / VGA / DVI / TV Out / Lite Version Video Card
