Pixel Pipelines? Should I care? by
Roger Buchanan
I'm thinking of doing 90% miniDV editing and 10% gaming (Microsoft FS).
Do I really need to worry if my card has 8, 12 or 16 pixel pipelines?
As for memory, does 256 vs 128 really make that much difference?
FWIW, I'm leaning towards the Ati 9800 Pro w/256 megs for around...

UT2004 crashes Gigabyte X800XT with with dynamic lights by
Mika Hirvonen
My fully patched UT2004 crashes whenever there's too many
dynamic-light-generating objects around. Whenever it crashes, the screen
cycles a while between grey and blue, then turns to black and returns to
BIOS POST. There's no BSOD, just plain blue. Whatever sounds were
playing before the crash...

de Moni
So what's up with these Catalysts? With all of them I get the
same kind of checkered texture corruption in several games
(Silent Storm, Mafia, UT2003) which only gets worse the
longer I play. This seems to occur only if I use high...

Difference betweet X800 Pro and 9800 Pro? by
boe
Hello,
I'm thinking about upgrading my 9600 AGP video card. I see there is a big
price difference between the 9800 pro and x800 pro. Is there much of a
performance difference on the two 256mB AGP versions?
Thanks

Radeon 9700 power question by
Hukuis
I've decided to go with a Radeon 9700 Pro for my newest build, and I
have been wondering if it's necessary to use the y-cable that shipped
with the card, or if I can simply plug in an unused power connector for
a 3.5" floppy? I can save a considerable amount of money buying a card
without the...

How to tell if a X800 is VIVO? by

Can someone tell me how to tell if my X800 Pro is VIVO?
(supposedly you can overclock it to XT stats only IF it is
a VIVO)
I read about doing this on a website ... and that site said
to insure you have a VIVO look for a YELLOW connector
on the inside edge of the card. If it is there, then it is a...

X850XT - a dissapointment by

I thought this would be the card to beat the complex Heathrow +
100% Ultimate Traffic + real weather setup in FS2004. My 9800 Pro

hard earnt dosh (£325) on this new card - my FPS is the same
6-8FPS! I can't believe it, this...
