Im a bit confused. I am looking @ these 2 cards the ATI Radeon DDR LE &amp; VE. What Ive read, ATI says that the VE has Z technology and that it reduces memory bandwidth consumption thus improving performance. The LE does not,yet you some people in a post below this 1 says that the LE is better than the VE.>>> ??? <<< I am looking for the better of the 2 for gaming... wouldn't the VE be better?
Thanks. 😕
 
radeon ve is NOT faster then the Radeon le by a long shot. Although radeon ve does have hyperz and the radeon le doesnt (be default), there are still many other factors that make the radeon ve a subpar card that is in the same lines as a voodoo4. For full technical information, goto the Anandtech review of the Radeon ve
 
Even with HyperZ turned off, the LE is faster than the VE. I believe the VE has a pixel pipeline disabled? But HyperZ can be enabled on the LE anyway. So the only reason to get the VE over the LE is if you really need to dual monitors.
 
Again, the LE is definetly better unless you need dual monitors and with tweakers it can be just like the regular DDR, the VE on the other hand has dual display support but is far slower then the GF 2 MX200 (the sripled version) and I don't even want to mention how much faster the LE is.
