Radeon LE 190/190 gives artifacts in 3Dmark.

I've heard that if you run the clock/memory asynchronous it will actually decrease performance. ATI set it up so they have run together or something like that.

Radeon Overclocking without Powerstrip!!

BlvdKing, Adding a blue orb and ramsinks "might" allow you to overclock a bit more, but it's probably not worth the investment unless you already have the stuff to do it. I've added blue orbs and ramsinks to both my Radeons (a 64 meg retail, and an LE). I can get the LE up t 190/190...

Put a fan on the heatsink. If that doesn't work, you've probably hit the limit.

Riva TNT2 Ultra VS Radeon 32MB DDR on this system.

Yeah, totally understandable why you got mad. Hope we answered your question. Anyway, I guess you spolied him hu? It would be hard to put a TNT2 Ultra in your system after you've already seen the speed and visual quality of a Radeon.

Riva TNT2 Ultra VS Radeon 32MB DDR on this system.

I see. Well that makes more sense then. I'd say let him borrow the Radeon. I had a 400mhz PII before I upgraded and I noticed a huge difference between my old Diamond TNT2 card and my Radeon 32 meg LE that I had installed for awhile.

Riva TNT2 Ultra VS Radeon 32MB DDR on this system.

SiliconVandal, Ok here's a definite answer for you. Of course he's going to see and fps increase from a Radeon as compared to a TNT2 Ultra. Your comparing old technology to the latest video card from ATI. They wouldn't put out a new product if it couldn't compete with a card thats already...

Radeon users: Do you see visual artifacts when you use Direct 3D and "FastZ Clear" enabled?

ATIonic, Yeah probably, but if I remember correctly it did the same thing when it was clocked to 183/183 (the default). As I said before it is barley noticeable, so I think it may be due to something else.

I have a Radeon 64 meg retail board o/c to 200/200. I see artifacts "occasionally" in direct3d games like Giants and THPS2. It's not a big deal really, they are only noticeable if you're looking for them.

ATI Radeon...now what???

I've had this problem with my 64 meg Radeon (ATI Video-In app not working). If you're running DirectX 8 under Win98/ME, upgrade to 8a. This fixed it for me.

did i mess up my core??

That sounds bad man. I'm not sure if you damaged the core, but you might have. I've heard some bad stories about sanding the core. I've modded two radeons so far with blue orb's and arctic silver epoxy (and LE and a retail 64meg). I didn't sand the core because I was afraid of damaging it...

How do I Remove Heatsink from Radeon 32LE??

One other precaution I forgot to mention is that if you put AS epoxy on the ram sinks make sure not to get any on the connectors. I put the epoxy in the middle of the chip and then let it spread out once the sink was put on. As for those in the forum advising against this, just remember that...

Relax man, the Radeon 64 VIVO is actually a really good card. I ran into these same problems when I first bought my card. If you're running DirectX 8, upgrade to 8a, this will fix your video-in problems using more recent drivers. If you're still running DirectX 7, i'd suggest upgrading to 8...

KT7A-Raid / floppy drive problem

Thanks for the suggestions. I've determined that it has to be a bad floppy controller. I'm debating wether or not to return the board for a new one, or get an isa floppy controller or something like that. Anyone know of a place that sells those? If I return the board should I get the Abit...

kingz, I was afraid of that also. I ended up just putting a small layer of arctic silver epoxy in the middle of the ram chip so it wouldn't come in contact with the connectors. Then once the ram sink was put on it spread out a little to cover a little more of the chip. Some people say you...

Get a Radeon 64meg DDR VIVO. Good video-in for watching tv on your comp if you have a vcr or a box. Good video out for connecting to your TV. It's speed in games is top notch also.

I'd like to run at 210/210, but the extra performance you get is so minimal that i'd rather clock at 200/200 and have the card last a bit longer. Some even get degrading performance after 200/200.

Yeah it probably is Taz. I think when the Powerstrip bug is fixed (if ever), we may be able to see some better performance gains above 200/200 though. Then 210/210 may be something to look into if you're using better cooling methods.

I have the Radeon 64meg DDR VIVO (5.5ns ram). I can clock it at 212/212 without any probs. Anything greater than that starts corrupting the screen with purple lines, mainly when it's clocked at 215/215 or above. I have it running at 200/200 now because of the degrading performance issue, but...
