Video Card: ATI RADEON 7500 Review :: Conclusion

Compatibility

ATI has always been known for their compatibility on many different platforms and this card works in that same tradition. A very compatible product is to be had in the 7500.

Stability

I encountered no problems of any kind while running and testing the RADEON 7500 it worked like a champ. Rock solid performance across the board, a strong stable product is to be had here.

Support

ATI has been around a while now and not many complaints are lodged against then so they must be doing something right. They have phone numbers, staff and multiple websites in many countries to help with your support.

Conclusion

Overall this is a solid card that offers a more rounded out multimedia flair than many other cards in the same price range. If you are building a computer for gaming and watching DVD movies the RADEON 7500 has enough features to make it a contender for your hard earned dollars.

If gaming is your only venture the RADEON 8500 or GE-Force 3 might better fit the ticket for you better if you want the top of the hill card but the 7500 performs well enough for an all around solution that will not completely break the bank selling at $125 U.S for the OEM version and $169 for the retail boxed version both of which are very affordable.

I have always thought that the 2D half of a cards performance was as important as the 3D half and ATI has always had better than average clarity for text and colors. In the past before the RADEON series of cards came to light 3D performance was just not up to par, but since the RADEON series of cards the 3D properties improved dramatically putting their name back on the map as a serious player in the high end gaming and multimedia market. I can't wait to get my hand on the 8500 form what I have heard it really rocks. Good job ATI keep it up.
