Newbie Radeon 9700 questions
Hi,
This is my first ATI card, so kindly bear with me. I bought a PowerColor Radeon 9700 Gold (non-pro) today. I did not install the disk drivers, but installed the Catalyst 3.5 drivers (and Control Panel) instead. What seems odd to me is that the card is shown everywhere (Display Properties, games etc) as a "Radeon 9700 Pro", while it is NOT the Pro version. According to PowerStrip the card runs at: Clock 275 / Memory 270. That's the specs of the non-pro. In PowerStrip (v3.30) I could use the sliders to (seemingly) overclock the card, but it made no framerate difference in UT2003. Questions please: (1) Why is the card identified as a 9700 Pro? (2) Does adjustment of the sliders in PowerStrip actually overclock the card? The settings revert to default on a reboot, and as I said, there seems to be no apparent speed increase. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot Chris. |
