    Just switched to ATI from Nvidia. What's the best way to fix the XP refresh rate issue?

    All, Just installed a new Radeon 9800 Pro in place of my old GeForce 3 last night. With the GeForce, I had been using RivaTuner to fix the XP refresh rate issue, but it doesn't seem to support the Catalyst 3.8 drivers for the Radeon (which are working fine for me BTW). What's the best way to...

    What's a good hold-me over video card until Doom 3 is released?

    I'm building a new gaming rig today (P4 2.8 800 FSB, 512MB RAM, 865 mobo, etc). Right now, the best video card I own is an original GeForce 3. While I'd like better video for my current games (Enter the Matrix, etc), I wanted to take Anand's advice and wait until right after Doom 3 comes out...
