powercolor

is this a reliable company to order a 9700pro from? is the quality just as good as built by ati?

I'd say yes. just wish you're lucky to get good RAM on it. my 3.6ns ones don't like to be OC'ed AT ALL, but I haven't heard of any 9700/pros that come with that, heh.

powercolor 9700's are great.

My Powercolor 9700NP is very nice for the price. Very nice improvement over my Geforce3 Ti200 it just replaced.

have you flashed the bios to allow overclocking? that could be your problem..

Yes, powercolor is good, get it !

i just ordered a 9700pro for a friend to give ati a chance. im a long time nvidiot so i hope this works out. and if i get any driver issues or wavy lines and crap that ive been reading about, this will be the last

use this program called reforce to force your refresh rate settings in games. this works for nvidia cards too.

games look so good at 1600x1200@85hz or 1024x768@120hz

whatever resolution you play youll be happy in.
