ECS Xabre400 Review - PAGE 4

UTILITIES

The ECS multi-media utility is similar to ATI's control panel. The quick menu popup on the taskbar is easy to use. You can easily uninstall the video card through this button.

You can also easily change resolutions and colour depth with just one click through the Driver Mode Settings button.

The GPU and chipset information is also readily available so that you can easily check for problems.

Similarly, you can easily change gamma correction or video settings.

CONCLUSIONS

Pros

Better than GeForce 4 MX440 performance

Low budget card with great TV-Out Chip

3D VR Glasses support

Cons

Lacking performance

No Software bundle

I like how ECS has made a decent product that is stable and powerful enough to beat its intended competition as a GeForce 4 MX series replacement card. While I couldn't understand why the Xabre 400 had a 3D glasses connector but I bet ECS is planning to market 3D glasses. I RECOMMEND the card to users who are unhappy with their GeForce 4 MX cards and want a cheap and stable replacement.

Overall Score: 82%
