DIAMOND Radeon HD 4650 4650PE1G Video Card

Comment:
Through the VGA port it will handle anything I throw At it. New And Old. Love it so far. Con: this could just be me. I Have DVI capabilities but I cant get it to work properly with this card. If Anyone Can Help Would Love to Run In Full HD Thanks.

I was expecting two DVI-dual as depicted on the image, but received one dvi and one vga, which was ok as well, and the HDMI link is nice, but it over rode my on-board sound, not cool. So I ripped an old sound car out my old PC and stuck it in. They should put a warning and instructions, if not a GUI selection between the HDMI sound or defualt or other-sound card. Makes life easier. Fantastic graphics though.

Many reviews said it wasn't as pictured, and they are correct. It isn't the same model, however, mine DID come with two dual DVI... Maybe I lucked out? Anyways, good solid card for the price, put it in a mid range system and runs Win 7 with Aero very nicely. Games leave something to be desired but I wasn't expecting to run Crysis on High. Good buy.

Im running windows 7 and was experiencing driver failures it seems to have stopped now

Comment:
so far no problems, all seems good, software and docementation not so good but OK

Comment:
This card is great, I have no problems running games with this card. I play L4D and GRID. The fan on the card seems to be louder then any video card i have had.

Comment:
The reviewer that mentioned a port problem is correct. The pic (and specs) show a dual-dvi *dual link*. The card arrived with 1 dual-dvi, 1 vga, and 1 hdmi connector. Sent back because I really need 2 dvi connectors on the back like the picture.

I play all my games on max setting or High and it runs without a bit of Lag, Using Custom Built pc (Asus P5Q Mobo, 4GB ram, Dual Core). For its price it an amazing card.

very nice with that value stuff

Comment:
Great card,very quiet fan. Plugged right in and after installing software, no sound. Trouble shooting guide solved problem by going into BIOS. Out put plugs not the same as advertised,but still works very well.

fantastic

Great adapter for the price. Runs very quiet. The fan hasn't even come on yet to my knowledge, even after a pretty frisky benchmark test. I would be happy running any of the games in the benchmark, though the FPS (frames per second) was a little below POV (persistance of vision) on the last benchmark. Some tests ran as high as 500 FPS. Obviously the card can outrun a lot of monitors. The one I bought has HDMI, which doesn't mean much since an adapter will put all the features of HDMI to DVI. I ahve an HDMI cable that seems would survive a nuclear war, which can help with the speed of the card as well. Intel Q6600 quad core in a super media computer. 32bit Vista Ultimate. No manufacturers drivers except for the graphics.

I received a this card but have not had a chance to install it as the outputs on the card do not match those described in the specs. The card I received, model 4650PE1G only has 1 DVI port (not 2 as described on web page,) a VGA port and an HDMI port. Called customer service and have arranged for a replacement card to be shipped out but was warned by the cust service rep that the replacement may be the same if they received a bunch of these cards, I appreciate the reps honesty. Will update when the replacement arrives. customer service was fast and easy to contact.

I bought two cards from TigerDirect. First off, delivery was fast.Both cards installed so easy and once the driver was installed, setting up the Crossfire X was done pretty much automatically. All I had to do was activate it. The graphics are awesome and the games I play run very smooth with two GIG of video memory there is almost no lag time from memory swapping.

I built a basic gaming computer for a customer using this card so he could play his game, Sacred, this card fit our budget. Nothing but problems, VPU error after VPU error. The system is very cool with 3 120MM fans, the CPU through gaming does not get over 100 F, the ambient in the 70's! Checked voltages, temps, turned VPU off, upgraded to latest drivers and catalysts Nothing fixed this issue. Oh yes, the fan was spinning too. Tiger was great with the return of this product. The graphics were great, but when you play solitaire and get VPU errors theres a problem. I contact Diamond, even created a service request with them, tried calling them, there online chat is offline. The worst support, its been over a month and they still have not viewed the service request.... Never again! Nvidia all the way.... by by Radeon!

Warning; heatsink/fan may not be as depicted! Installation of card and drivers was simple and flawless. If the large fan in the photo is what you want, you may be dissappointed. One of the reasons I selected this card over others because other reviewers complained about issues with the smaller fan & heatsink that came on theirs. Mine also came with the smaller heatsink but so-far it runs quite cool (though I don't place a lot of demand on it). Maybe others didn't have enough air moving thru their box. I have plenty of air being pushed (and pulled) thru my case and that's the best advice I can give to anyone who wants to extend the life of all their PC components. As TD says, products can vary a bit from the pictures and specs; and as ''Murphy'' has taught us, they will! Of course TD offered to take it back, and that's about all anybody could ask-for.

@ guy below me in hte photo it says 2 dvi 1 svideo :P

Comment:
It's a dual link dvi card. it might not look like much but i back it back a punch. i got the 4670 seris with the 1gig and its sweet. very overclock about on top of its highly clocked stock speed. sweet card for the price u wouldnt regreat it. not to metition all the stream processer they give u.

Comment:
It looks to me as if the first reviewer did NOT look at the specs for the card. I have had this card for over a month and it's a tremendous bang for the buck! Granted, my previous card was for years old, but the performance I get from the Diamond ATI4650 has been fantastic. My system seems to run faster, my processor hasn't bogged down and the graphics are sharp and clear. Using a DVI to HDMI adapter I can play movies I have on my hard drive and watch them on my T.V. I'm NOT an I.T. pro, but I have built or upgraded many systems for myself, family and friends. In my opinion, this card is a great purchase.

Gotta love morons, what do you mean it has ''INCORRECT PORTS'', the description says it has 2 DVIs and one S-Video, and thats exactly what u got. LOL at this guy, probably ordered it thinking it had analog port on it.
