Radeon *SE* is FINALLY here!

As you can tell from the number of posts, fame garnered from word of mouth can be a two edge sword. The arguments put forth here basically state that anything slower than a GF3 (or is that GF2) is not a viable gaming platform (i.e. Voodoo3, Voodoo 4, MX, MX200, MX400). If the game developers...

I still cant decide Geforce 2 Ultra or Ati Radeon 64mb ddr

More info here...a lot of people have been in your position and tried a Radeon card and found themselves won over by the quality of the 2D and 3D image quality(colour, saturation, and working DXTC) while finding the framerate more than acceptable for the bulk of today's games.

ATI stinks - ok ATI doesnt stink, just a little smelly, but my CD ROM drive did stink (Hi Val) haha

Jad, I don't believe I read the whole thread. Stating hardware configurations is probably a good start but you didn't get around to this until post number 22. OldFart's experience is rather representative of the Radeon experience. The concept of penance is similar to writing "I will not...

Help...This video card is Killing me.....ahhhh

Looks like you should disable "fast writes" and use AGP 2X via setting the BIOS. This seems to be a known problem. Last contact users who have the same motherboard as you in the previous post.

radeon le sdr pci very slow dont bother

Never seen or heard of a Radeon PCI card unless it was a special built upgrade item available for Macs from Apple. The Radeon chip itself does not support PCI so an external PCI-AGP chip must be used...which is why I'm wondering about the origin of your card.

Geforce 2 Ultra or ATI Radeon 64 VIVO

If this helps, the Radeon is currently edging the Ultra in 3DMark 2001 scores due to the newer features like bump mapping and vertex skinning. Beyond just pure framerate there are other things that some of the more balanced and recent reviews point out.

Ati shares drop

Most of the lack of earnings for ATI is due to the TNT2 displacing Rage 128 chips in OEM systems. Even last quarter, it made for most of Nvidia's profit. The sudden downturn in memory prices has hurt large consumers of memory due to what they bought them for and what they can sell them for...

Radeon VE: 2nd monitor keeps changing. Help

Sounds like the DDC connection in which the monitor tells the graphics card it properties is broken. Can you disable DDC and hardcode the second monitor to something it will support? Is you LCD a digital interface or an analog LCD panel?
