Now, can you tell me if this is better than a nVidia GeForce FX 5500 256 MB Video Card?
* Integrated Radeon® X300 based
* Full DirectX 9.0 Support (Vertex Shader v2.0 and Pixel Shader v2.0)
o Full precision floating point pixel pipeline
o Up to 4 Multiple-Render-Targets (MRTs)
o Support for up to 12-bit per pixel formats
* Supports Microsoft’s next generation GDI+ user interface
* Supports resolution up to 2536x2536@32bpp
* Anti-Aliasing using multi-sampling algorithm with support for 2,4, and 6 samples
* Hidden surface removal using 16, 24, or 32-bit Z-Buffering
Thats all the 3D Specs:
* HyperMemoryâ„¢ technology offers optional dedicated Local Frame Buffer configuration for a 32-bit or 64-bit interface and up to 128MB of memory
Also has that.

A Radeon X200/X300 (even integrated -- AND EVEN the mobile chipset) is better than a GeForce FX 5500, yes -- by far.

Hah, good, cause I just installed it. It came with my comp, but I was witty. Anyway, thats done. Now to fix the memory. Says I only have 382 MB RAM when I KNOW I have 512.

By the way here's a slightly outdated video card comparison list for future reference.

Little benchmark x300 VS FX 5500.
Note, the x300 isn't intergrated ;x.
@Brad, that information is pretty useless.
Specification don't say anything, about the actual speeds, quality etc, because the biggest factor is left out.(Also, some cards have special features, which don't show up on a specification chart like this one)
Drivers.....
Also the Geforce 3 Ti has SM 1.0 support, not 1.4.

well the fact that it's integrated means probably shared Videoram? that could be a little sucky perhaps

Yea, it has a HyperMemory thingy (If you read the stuff I posted earlier) of 128 MB, and if you take 128 MB from 512 I guess you get that.

Says I only have 382 MB RAM when I KNOW I have 512. 512 - 382 = 130 which probably means you're sharing 128 Mb of main memory as video memory. Long live HyperMemoryâ„¢.

An X200 integrated beat my GeforceFX 5800. I based the results on that. The link was just additional helpful information and YES it is relative REGARDLESS of proprietary features. Pixel Pipeline sizes, raw bandwidth, DX model support, and clock speeds are pretty imperative any way you look at it.

hehe, well im glad I have a good Video Card. Now im working on getting another stick of RAM. Im looking at Best Buy (Don't buy anything online) for a PC3200 DDR SDRAM (DIMM also) 512-1 Gig RAM stick. Found some pretty cheap around 50+ so ima look into that.

whehe nice but do mind Dual channeling ^^ at least if you're mobo's supports it. If so I recommend 2 sticks of ram from the same manufactor/specs. Since dual channeling give moooore preformance ^^

I've been using Kingston brand memories for about 8 years now. One of the MOST compatable and BEST all-around memory chips.
$80 for 1GB, $40 for 512MB

Hehe. Somehow we all miss what you've already said. You are quite subtle in your blunt remarks.

*laughing out loud* maybe, but I try to get my point across. Anyway, im glad that I can play games now without ANY problems and I can play old Cinamatics that I couldn't play with my old card, WAY better now. RAM is my only problem and thats going to get taken care of so yea. If there's anything else thats cheap that I can get ill look into it.

Specifications should do the habooba dance, so Shioku don't just stare at specifications chart that was posted in this thread.
Many features like ATi's ringbus and temporal AA is missing from the chart and it doesn't even show the latest model. Or the still bit lacking OpenGl support from ATi's
Furthermore, the memory interface isn't noted, which has great inpact on resolution changes and AA/AF.
So I advice to go with acutal benchmarks from games(x300 serie is trash in my opinion) and not specifications

*ponders* it has DX 9.0 and OpenGL. I know this cause I ran the tests on my computer. It also has AGP Texture Acceleration.

Yes ofcourse, but that doesnt mean it will run every game smooth.
And ATi'lacking in the opengl area.

My tests weren't based on the chart at all. That was just something extra I remembered seeing one day. My tests were based on PERSONAL benchmarks I did with a X200 integrated and my GeforceFX 5800 like I already mentioned.
An X200 integrated beat my GeforceFX 5800

That's fine, but alas did I say it will run EVERY game smoothly? Nope I just said they will actually run.
