x1550 Pro iD's as "1300 series" in Vista 32 bit

External Since: Jun 30, 2007 Posts: 3

Installed brand new Diamond x1550 Pro / 256M and newest Catalyst drivers.
The card runs OK but Vista identifies it in "Display Properties" as a Series
1300 card. As this is my first ever ATI card I am wondering if this is
correct.

It is essentially a rebranded X1300 Pro with slighlty modified clockings.
The X1300 and 1500 series both share the RV515 GPU which is why it's ID'd as
a 1300 series unit by Vista.
