2 Radeon Questions: How is 2D quality? And do I want SDR or DDR (32MB)?

[Noriaki]

Well I'm about this far away from getting a Radeon
*holds his thumb and finger really close together*

I just have two quick questions, for current Radeon users, how is the 2D quality? I'm a gamer and I like good frame rates and whatnot, but my first concern is 2D quality as that's most of what I do with my computer.

My second question is about the price/performance, I saw 1 set of Radeon SDR benchies today, I'm wondering do people know what the price difference is between the two?

Also can you get a 32MB version with TV-out or is that only the 64MB (I don't care about TV-in, just out)

The Radeon's 2D quality is the best I have ever seen, and I have heard people say that its just a hair under the 2D quality of the Matrox G400, which is the best. I'm under the impresion that the SDR version will retail around 130-160ish, but I do not have any hard facts to support that so I could be wrong . And finaly I believe only the 64mb Radeon has the TV-out feature.

I read at Rage3d that comp USA and best buy in the US have the 32meg ddr card for $199 bucks now with a $50 mail in rebate...that makes the card a great deal for $150

i have the 64 meg version and its a great card visually and performance wise radeon price

The 2D and 3D are both great on the Radeon. Very happy with mine. Hawk has some great deals on these cards.
