It seems that your current card isn't 9.0 compliant. What card were you using before this one??
Like you, I have had some occasions to be upset by the "customer service" I bought one product, Karaoke Home Producer, at a price 1 and 1/2 times what it costs now. Compared to now, it had some big problems. Even though I paid more then, I had to pay for the upgrade to a more satisfactory working version! Also, I feel a little abandoned that the system requirements for MTU's products are passing me by and I need to shell out more for differences that I don't think are as important as others I would like to see. That being said, I like the quality of the products and the forum system isn't all that bad. (When I talk about shelling out, I'm referring mostly to my system, not software upgrades)
I am reading about some affordable new cards that ATI is getting ready to release that support 9.0. I am looking forward to those.
