What .... another 2600 review? Well before you close the window, this is no ordinary 2600XT, Visiontek's new "Quad" 2600XT is basically two cards in crossfire, slapped together with a mighty 1 GB of ram! Hardware video acceleration and the ability to power four 2560x1600 monitors certainly deserves some attention, right?

We pit it against an equally priced 8600 series product to see if it is worth your money ...

disappointing performance but as Stu mentioned it would be great for multi media purposes

what a beautifully designed card! and im quite impressed with it on an engineering level, especially the 4 DVI ports for powering 4 monitors. I am sure this will find its way into a niche market. Just a shame its not really competitive enough in the gaming market.

Still one of the more interesting products ive seen in the ATI/AMD line for a long time especially the excellent video acceleration.

Does anyone know if this is MCE compatible? I have spent all weekend trying to get this to be recognized by the OS and install the drivers.

SYstem I am trying to install it on consists of:

HP Pavilion a1560n
ASUS P5LP-LE Mobo
2.88 Ghz Pentium 4 Proc
2048 RAM
300 GB HD
1010w PSU
WIndows XP Media Center
