I got this itch to upgrade my video card so... here's the sordid details. My machine is a Dell 4400 2.0Ghz P4, 1Gb PC2100 Ram running WinXP Pro. This machine was originally equipped with a GeForce3 Ti200/64Mb. Things ran ok until I encountered Battlefield 1942. Since I'm a cheap SOB when it came...

TMPGENC! - www.tmpgenc.com Register for mpg2 conversions but VCD will work otherwise. Also can handle AVI & MOV files. I recommend the KVCD formats, nonstandard but if your DVD player can handle them try it. I can get 90mins+ DVD 720x480 res on a 800MB VCD. http://www.kvcd.net/dvd-models Use...

Having AA and/or AF enabled (open gl - directX settings) will definitely reduce your 3DMark scores. Check that. Other than that, reboot and make sure no other apps are running before you run the benchmark. Let us know if you achieve better marks and what they are. JVC "Name" ...

Is this combination any good? Running Cat 3.2 at this time - is it worth upgrading? What's the best set of drivers for this card?

Although the spam has been annoying, I find the tactic (if its real) of putting a persons vital information on the UNet is by far worse than what he has done. He may have a family, and they may know nothing about what he's doing, and they too, would be hurt. Sorry I NEVER sweat the little...

I picked up an AIW 9000 with the idea of setting up a Home Theater PC - play movies, DVDs, etc. The highest quality video & sound is not needed - just something nice and viewable. Questions: 1) What's the optimum resolution for TV out?

It was fine in 8.1, but now completely gone in 8.5... what gives?

Looks like ATI is kicking ass. It funny, the now old 9700 pro with 128Mb of RAM is only a slight bit slower in real world games that we play then the 5900ultra. Not even worth the upgrade and the 9800 pro is simply fastest, although still not by much. Lets hope the next group of cards that come...

I was wondering if I could get some feedback about a good entry level (ie: cheap) video card? I don't want to spend more than 50-75 dollars on the video card. My only requirement is that it can support DVI and TV connections (as well as a normal VGA connection). I was looking at the FX5200 (not...

I have recently installed a 9700 card. I have had a few minor problems and in order to solve them have upgraded the drivers whenever new ones are released. I just installed the Catalyst 3.5 drivers and they seem to have given some impressive results as far as speed and quality are concerned...

An irritation - when I go to Properties - Settings - Advanced tabs, the window sizes are all too tall, so that to see the OK CANCEL buttons at the bottom of the window I have to fiddle with hiding the taskbar, dragging the window as high off the top of the screen as it will go. And even then...

Given that the 9500 pro has been withdrawn from sale in the UK (anyone know where to get them), can anyone tell me the differences between the 9600 and the 9600 pro to warrant the price difference. They have the same amount of ram, so I'm not too sure? Thanks, Ben

I want to send some of my movie clips by e-mail. and dropped them into my logitech gallery to convert them, all was fine except that they were upside-down and mirrored. I have heard of this before, but I do not have the answer. Mel.

Hi, I have a strange problem when I convert an avi file capture by an ATI AIW 8500DV to an MPG-2 file with TMPGEnc. The problem is not from TMPGe because I could convert others AVI files without problem. Strangely enough, when I use the Cinema Craft encoder, everything is fine. I capture with...
