Perhaps now people on this thread will look at Tom's Hardware site with a different light - what Tom said was the Savage at minimum has driver 'immaturity'. Perhaps this is why all these people picked ATI instead of Savage, which is clearly performance winner and with 0.25um, potential to be price winner.

Just hope this is just driver problem that can be sorted out soon if not already and does not need new C rev silicon.

Another review, more driver/competability problems. Even heat problem with the 0.25um!! These graphic cards really need 0.21um.

I am really amazed that they still have all these problems. In retrospect, my G200 loaded without a hitch on a FIC 503+/Win95/98 system. Pretty touch to get OEMs, nobody wants to deal with customer complaints and tech handholdings.

Also, which OEM would want to add fans!! Look for rev C to cut power consumption. Rev B for a few die-hards gamers, rev C for real OEM sales. Oh no! They would have missed the whole X'mas season if that happens.
