is X600 SE HyperMem Video Card any good?

[msi1337]

got a dell computer system with a ATI X600 SE PCI-E video card. This card apparently has 32mb of video onboard and then uses up to 256mb of the system memory.

could someone give me an idea of how fast this is compared to other PCI-E cards?

Thanks!

HyperMemory and TurboCache are.. Pathetic..

Get something with *real* VRAM.

X600 SE = POS

Only good for old games.

X600 = 9600 with PCI-Express. So a X600SE should be equal to a 9600SE, which is in turn approx. equal to a 9200.

I thought only some X300's utilized hypermemory.

Same here keys. I think the X600SE merely has a 64bit memory architecture.

Looking at my thread.. X600SE is not even an official GPU. ATI only officially has an X600 X600Pro X600XT. No SE. Probably just a manf modified X600 Vanilla for lower clock speeds.

Are you sure it's an x600se and not an x300se? I can't find details on an x600se anywhere...

They're standard equipment on Dells.

Thanks for the linky...anyone know the clock speeds on this thing?

Well with the new drivers, I think that all ATI cards now have hypermemory...

It's a piece of crap.

OMGWTF IT IS TEH BESTEST 1337 CARD OUT THERE \1!!1!1!!

 

[msi1337]

well, thanks to everyone for the sarcasm!

I was just curious... I rarely play any games on the computer... my other pc has onboard Gf4MX (Nforce2 chipset)...so as you can see I don't really need much.

If I decide to upgrade later..can I get a suggestion for a decent PCI-E card in the $80-$120 price range?

You may be able to net an x700, x700 Pro or 6600.

6600

you can pick up a X800GT 128 for $137. decent card for 137.
