declan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I am just about to go and buy one, can someone confirm how functional it is? In the HCL, one report says QE and CI work, another says its unsupported. Also i have read about needing the real Ati X300SE, does anyone know what that means?

macprodan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 one is Built by ATi and others are Powerd by ATi. think the Sapphires are Powerd by ATi. I dont see there being much diff and how QE CI can be supported on one and not the other..

labria Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I have that card. Yes, QE and CI are supproted, but no resolution nor refresh change possible from prefs. You can change the resolution at boot, but refresh is stuck at 60Hz.

labria Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Mine worked out the box. No, the hz part doesn't work as its VESA2 and not 3. You can cahnge the refresh rate only by patching the card BIOS, but it's done from windows, so i haven't tried (my box is OSX only) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11467-sapphire-x300se-128mb/#findComment-72023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
