just tested out the card, all i gotta say is WOW
i thought my old card looked great and ran smoothly on MAXIMUM settings but on this card, other card cant be compared, it looks much better and runs much much smoother, so I DEFINTELY RECOMMEND this card...only problem I am having right now is that when I play the game, I can play for few mins but then my computer restarts for some reason so Im trying to figure out whats wrong, worst case I have to take it back to the computer shop which will suck

turn of auto-reboot, you'll get a bsod with the error-file. if there isn't any error file, or it's always a different one, run some memtests. i had it with nv4_disp.dll --> so it was my graph.card drivers. Had LOTS of problems getting nba live to work properly and all of a sudden it worked without a flaw.

hey, i have a similar problem, but mine just freezes randomly... to this date, i haven't found a solution by the way, my card is a gecube ati radeon 9550 with updated drivers...

to threatlockz
i did try different drivers but no luck, i turned off auto reboot and got that blue screen but didnt write everything down but i might be taking the computer back to the shop and ask the guy wats going on

[paradizecityz]

well i went back to the shop and we tested and all that stuff, turns out its that this vid card doesnt have the drivers or whatever for nba live, i downloaded Unreal Tournament 2004 and played that and no problem and i also used 3dMark to benchmark and that gave no problem, so i popped the old geforce 4 ti4200 64mb bak in and nba live worked wit no reboot, so I am going to return this ATI Radeon 9600Pro and get different one, anyone got any suggestions, im lookin for a good vid card and a lil over $100, maybe 140 tops

im thinkin about 9600XT or even 9800XT if i can find good price for that one
