Have there been any benchmarks to compare identical cards, with one being built on DDR3 and the other GDDR3? I'd like to know how much of a performance difference exists. When a manufacturer takes a GDDR3 reference spec and takes it down to regular DDR3, is that just smart savings for everyone...

I had a 128 MB ATI FireGL card in the Dell 610 and ran FSX Gold Acceleration Pack without problems (except for the board's inability to handle gaming) and recently switched to an nVIDIA 9800 GT, but having a LOT of Fatal Error problems. Searching around with google, many others are having the...

Why doesn't ATI post reference specs on their website? They only have laundry lists of functional features but don't give information like clock frequencies. nvidia has this info for their cards. It's just annoying having to check third-party reviews for this info, who knows if they are...

Was just wondering if anyone could give me their opinion between these graphics cards. I am trying to decide if the GTX+ is worth the extra loot or not. Iff I decide to just stick with the regular 9800 Gt, should I choose evga or bfg? They both give different features.

I have a 3 yr old Asus board(939) running with an AMD 64 X2 4800. The video card is an X1900XT. Starting to see failures due to heat or just plain old can't keep up graphically. I'm sure this is a silly question to some but can I replace my card with any of the newer ATI cards(ie; 4xxxx)? I...

Hello, recently I have been getting lots of BSOD in Vista 64. When I reboot, I have graphic corruption on the BIOS boot screen, and two thick vertical bands running down the monitor. The last occurred when I tried to run World In Conflict. Other times the PC runs fine. I suspect overheating,...

I just upgraded my computer. The video card in the old system is a Sapphire HD 2600 XT. The new system has a MSI Radeon 4650. Before I installed the video drivers for the new card the brightness looked about right. After installing the drivers, the screen is way too bright. So I know it is not...

VisionTek Retail Box Radeon HD 4870 PCI Express x16 512MB GDDR5 Memory Is it better to use the ATI's version of Catalyst Driver software ver9.3 - 3/18/2009 (Will it work better)?? Or Do I need to use VisionTek Ver 8.11 - 12/5/2008 & why is there driver not updated??

I'm sorry if this is not an appropriate forum in which to post this question. I do have a Radeon 2400 Pro vid card tho (if that helps) :) I've used the above (subject line) combination for 3 years in converting my avi videos to mp4 and a more manageable size. I recently bought a new computer and...

Hi, I hope someone can help. I have a fairly elderly 9600 xt AIW card on one of my PCs. I really only use it for video capture using the composite video leads. Unfortunately, having updated Catalyst & MMC software, I now have a couple of problems. My 2 main problems a

Catalyst 9.4 to Drop Support for Pre-R6xx Cards (everything up to and including the X1K cards) http://www.tcmagazine.com/comments.php?shownews=25035 Not really big news, as AMD stopped adding features for the older cards a long time ago. nVidia has been quietly dropping older Geforces in...

I have an ASUS 4850 and I recently bought a Dell 2408WFP monitor (native resolution 1920x1200). The supplied DVI cable is single link and I'm not complaining about image quality. However, my understanding is that for single-link DVI to support 1920x1200 @60Hz the video driver has to use...

I have a 2.8gh chip on a ASUS MB, with 4 g of Ram running XP Pro with a AIW ATI card. In the last few days my computer will just freeze up, sometimes accuring on a mouse click. Sometimes rebooting will not solve the problem, just get my background photo, no icons. A hard reboot will sometimes...

I just installed a new Powercolor 4870x2 card and the temps seem a bit extreme. GPU-Z and ATI Overdrive both show a pretty consistent 85C GPU temp just sitting idle. Just wondering if this is normal, Or should I be concerned. Cat 9.2 drivers installed.
