TITLE: [- REVIEW: ATI RADEON 32 SDR -]
-------------------
The ATI Radeon is a BADASS card. Not only does it run great for a PCI
video card, but it is highly configurable (*WINK*). It runs the CHARISMA ENGINE,
and pixel tapestry (TM), which reduces the heat greatly (*WINK,WINK*). Upon
installing the card I could already tell the difference between it and the 3d
prophet (AGP). It was more crisp, and ran much smoother.
Now, for the fun stuff. Go d/l yourself the RadeonTweaker. It tweaks out
all options for openGL, D3D, D3DII, etc. I have mine stable, over clocked @ 183.
The ATI Radeon generally is set to run 166. It could be over clocked more, if you
want to take the time to put a bigger heatsink on it. I just have my case open w/ a
fan directly pointed at the card. I genrally run 40-70 fps (Frames Per Second), on
openGL supported games.
This should tell you how well I dig the card.
OVERALL RANKING: GREAT BUY. Cheap, and runs good.
