Is SIS Xabre 400 good for games??

[wolfboy]

I think Xabre400 is very good.
It is faster and cheaper than MX440 !
But its OpenGL Drivers is not very good!

Why not buy a Radeon 8500LE, it's around $10 more and it blows away both cards.

I've read somewhere that its good performances were due to some "turbo" filtering mode, resulting in a poor image quality... But it was some time ago, dont know if it has been corrected though.

I just installed one on my friend's rig..it was by PowerColor
He got 7100 on 3DMARK 2K1
its a P4 2.0A/256RDRAM/ on a MSI 850 mobo...it's not bad at all..for its price...

BTW...how can i setup his D3D and OGL properties???
There is no control panel with the drivers???...only setting up video out and resolution gamma...bla bla bla...

i mean like the control panel for my RADEON???

It's true. The Xabre claims as one of its most outstanding features to be better anti-aliasing image quality. In particular they claim that they have removed the "Dancing Pixel" problem. But it turns out to be a hack job and not much image quality is improved at all. The drivers still suffer from occasional graphical errors in games. Why get a Xabre 400 or Parhelia-512 when you can have dedicated driver teams from ATi and nVidia waiting on you hand and foot and releasing upgrades every few weeks?

1° of separation between my monopoly and yours. That's business with .NET
