"The Radeon VE offers an excellent price/performance ratio for dual display use. With 269 DM, this product is clearly less expensive than the competition."

"The test shows that the usability of the software positively distances itself from the competitors Nvidia and Matrox."

"A new video board being released today by ATI...called the Radeon VE, can't replace a giant monitor, but it can create something even more interesting: an affordable two-monitor setup."

"Radeon VE is an attractive product for the home user, who only occasionally plays games, as well. Currently, there are very few arguments in favour of recommending the Millennium G450 Dualhead."

"A total of three outputs make the [Radeon VE] the ideal partner for multi monitor applications."

"Compared to the competition - some of which is more expensive while offering less - the Radeon VE is a real bargain."

"In terms of 3D performance, it cannot be clearly determined who takes the lead. In some of the benchmarks, it is the GeForce2 MX TwinView, in others the Radeon VE. This shows at least that when cutting down on the 3D engine, ATI did not hit the wrong spot."

"ATI pulls the ace right at the beginning of the game: the low price...is unmatched by the competition."

"For domestic computing, running two monitors off a computer is not as outrageous as it seems. Home users can hook up a less-expensive screen next to a main one, perhaps the monitor from an older PC that's no longer used. If the extra monitor must be purchased new, it may not cost much more than $200 to $400 for a 17-inch model, which combined with the Radeon VE card is still much cheaper than the large, high-end screens."

"Contrary to the competition, the Radeon chip series provides excellent features for the playback of MPEG2 and DVD videos."
MDK2: "In 32 bit color mode, the Radeon VE shows its strength and overtakes the GeForce2 MX."
Mercedes Benz Truck Racing: "This benchmark, based on the Direct3D interface, shows that the Radeon VE makes a good impression. It is even 30 percent faster than the GeForce2 MX."

"Especially graphics designers will learn to love the various features the software unleashes from the Radeon VE."

"A special treat, integrated in the core of the controller: a TMDS transmitter supporting digital TFT displays at resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200. In comparison: The entire range of GeForce2 MX cards with Twin View only manage resolutions of up to 1600 x 1024."
