And with its included video-out connector, you can view those DVD movies and 3D games on your television. Unfortunately, the preproduction board I tested with its beta software drivers suffered from some rendering and visual-quality gaffes. For instance, it crashed our system when running a PowerPoint test that uses 3D clip art. When we played 3D games such as Turok Dinosaur Hunter, fog effects and transparencies appeared banded and too thick. Similar problems occurred with Redline Racer, in which the background sky and a motorcycle's headlights looked banded and dithered.
Buggy drivers appear to be the main culprit.
ATI promises to have them fixed by the time you read this review. For more peace of mind, consider that the vendor offers a five-year warranty. Preproduction problems aside, the Rage Fury's future looks promising.
