Diamond VIPER ll Z200 or ATI RADEON 7500

[giraldilla]

Hi :
I need some help, I have already installed the Diamond VIPER ll Z200 video card on my PC but, I have the opportunity to exchange it for the ATI RADEON 7500.

I would like to know wich one is best, any input will be very much appretiated.

Thanks in advance

I would go with the Radeon 7500.

me too, I'd go with the radeon 7500

Definately the Radeon. I hate my Diamond Viper 2. Soon to be putting a Geforce in the new PC.

I would go for the Radeon for two reasons:
a. Better performance.
b. Drivers are more current with ATI than Diamond.

Thank you all for your advise.

I 'll definetly trade for the ATI card. I don't complain about my Diamond Viper but, the support is not good at all like Jawa mention and this disapointed me very much and anyway, if I can why not.

Keep the viper!!

Oh, and another thing.. Diamond is pretty much done as I company I think.

By the way, what are your computer specs?

Viper II, non-functional T&L, defunct company, no new driver support.

Radeon 7500, functional T&L, company still in business, driver support.


You do the math.

Hi Jawa,
To answer your question, my system is a hybrid I put together about 2 1/2 years ago:

Motherboard: ASUS k7V
CPU: AMD Athlon 800 MHz
Memory: Corsair 128 MB

Thanks for your input

the 7500 gives the geforce2ti a good kicking and therefor will kick the viper into touch
