jpprod, Thanks for the tip on turning off the "optimized" video in RealPlayer. That does fix the washed out colors, but then of course the video picture is appears more pixelated when viewed at > 100%. So I get to choose: washed out colors but smoother edges when magnified -OR-...

That's exactly what it looks like: when the window is being dragged, the Radeon's overlay settings are disabled or bypassed. The problem is that I have played with those brightness controls till my eyes ached, and none of the combinations of settings looks as good as when the window is...

Have any Radeon owners noticed that RealVideo videos are washed out? (I just installed this card, which replaced a Matrox G200.) Here's my info: Radeon drivers version: 4.12.3056 Display Settings: 1024x768x32 DirectX 7.0a Windows 98 SE RealPlayer 8 Basic When I play a .rm video, the...

I just know this is gonna be a dumb question, but here goes... I would like to find out exactly what all the advanced settings "do" for the Radeon 32 DDR driver (4.12.3056). Are these settings documented anywhere? I poked around ATI's site and searched these boards and deja and...

Yup, Tops at 1024x768x32: Radeon DDR 64 with 64.5 (Voodoo5 comes in at 3rd with 59.5, after both Radeons) Tops at 1280x1024x32: Radeon DDR 64 with 54.8 (by a big margin, BTW) (Voodoo5 comes in at 5th with 41.4) And at 1600x1200x16, the Voodoo5 is second to the last out of 12, with 28.4...

<falls to the floor, rolling with laughter> Well said! <gasp> :D

Doomguy, Read it and weep... ;) ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 32MB DDR - Direct3D Performance - UnrealTournament

I just picked up a Radeon 32MB DDR at Best Buy for $199. I thought this was a great deal even without the $50 mail-in rebate, but I got an extra thrill when I saw that the sticker on the box said $279!! Later I checked out the Radeon FAQ and saw this: <start clip> Q6: What is the estimated...

sandorski, Why is low res important in fps's?

I got one! WOO-HOO! :D :D :D I finally found a Best Buy that had some (two were sold out). The sticker on the box says $279!! Ha! But the tag on the shelf said $199 and then the rebate printed at the register. The dude working the register was impressed -- he said &quot;You got...

For those of you who have the ability to do FSAA, which option do you like better: - a lower resolution mode with FSAA on or - a higher resolution mode with FSAA off Let's assume that the frame rates are approximately equal.

Trifecta, Thanks! Sorry to be a pest, but how long is the rebate offered? Should I run out tonight and get it? You know I'm just looking for a good excuse! ;)

<clipped duplicate post>

Trifecta, Thanks for that post! I agree with your sentiment, and I am very happy to learn that all these cards rock. I can't wait to get one. It sounds like they are going to blow away my aged SLI Voodoo2s! I am interested in the Best Buy deal I keep reading about. What's the deal? Thanks!

Agar, It wasn't an argument. It was a question. I was asking, since BAMAVOO doesn't consider the speed to be that important, what makes the Radeon so great to him/her? I'm genuinely interested because I am considering buying one of these two cards. And when we talk of &quot;speed&quot; it...
