ATI Radeon 64MB DDR is it good??

[KevDog]

Hi,

I would like to do some video editing. My only problem is that my Canopus Spectra 2500 does not have a composite in, it only has a composite out. I would like to find a go video card that has a composite in and composite out for around $150 bucks if possible. I would like it to at least be a 32mb card. I am thinking about getting the ATI Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO. Is it any good?? It is a liitle pricy at $250 but it does have a VIVO. This is the only card I can find that will suit my needs. Or does anyone know where I can find a Canopus VideoPort600??

Thanks,

Kevin

If you're interested in gaming as well go with the Radion, but this might be more up your alley if you're looking towards video:

The Geforce2 GTS is more expensive than the Radeopn when both have 64MB memory.

Hey Creator, Pay attention. The guy wants the card for video edition and need s a DIVO. Have you seen a GTS with one of those? If so then speak of that. Not the GTS being faster, which it isn't. The 64M Radeon will be faster than the GTS in High res.

Canopus is out of the video card game, I think. Last year.

The Radeon 64meg card is supposed to be very nice. I'd get it if you found it for 250.

I believe there is an ASUS version of the GTS with VIVO. Since the quality of the ATI VIVO is better I would still consider it a better choice.

The Radeon is definitely your best bet. Creator is only up for flame bait.

Thanks for your replies. AlbinoPenguin have you use the VIVO on your Radeon 64MB?? I also have heard good things about the All In Wonder Radeon 32MB DDR, it seems to have more VIVO ports than the 64MB model. Should I go with the 64MB or the 32MB ALL in Wonder?? Does the VIVO on the 64MB DDR work well??

Thanks,

Kevin

Kave Dog! My friend owns the DDR 64 VIVO and he lowes it it works right out of the box for him and me! I own the Regular DDR Radeon 32MB DDR clocked at 193/193! Which just whoops a Regular GTS 32MB DDR in high res!

P.S The GTSs 64MB DDR is slower than RADEON 64MB DDR Also but 32MB DDR GTS is little faster than regular DDR 32MB DDR Radeon cause the Radeon is clocked slower then VIVO but that is why i clocked it at 193/193 (faster than the 64DDR also)
RADEON is the way to go man

Excuse Me! What ya said? I can't HEAR YOU

Thanks Again. Does the ALL In Wonder Radeon 32MB DDR support 32bit color or only 16 bit?? ATi's website says the 64MB DDR VIVO supports 32bit color but does not say anything about the ALL In Wonder Radeon 32MB DDR.

Thanks,

Kevin

Retail Radeon 64mb cards w/VIVO are now available for under $240. That's actually $15 cheaper than the closest 64mb GTS!!!

So,

then the AIW Radeon 32MB DDR and the Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO are both 32 bit color compatible cards right?

Thanks,

The only card I know of produced semi-recently that doesn't support 32 bit is the Voodoo3. Everything else does.
