ATI RADEON LE

[Serori]

Okay, now that I have it and have gone through a buttload of troubles to get it in(When I put it in I had to move my ethernet which subsequently messed up a bunch of configurations for my internet. took a long time and some tech support to put it back, installation of the card itself was like baking pie. easy) what should I do first?

I know I need to overclock, but which and where do I download drivers?

Rage3D.com has links to all the drivers (All Radeons use the same unified driver).

There are a couple tweakers available, such as the Raid-on and Radeon Tweakers (you should be able to find links to them somewhere in Rage3D).

To overclock, I used Powerstrip and a manual hack to enable HyperZ in D3D (found Here; ignore what is mentioned about HyperZ and OpenGL - The LE has HyperZ enabled in OpenGL from the factory).

You might want to specify which OS you're using; I'll assume it's Win98/Me. I'm using the newest 7115 driver but if you're unsure, go with the 7075s - They're not quite as fast as the later drivers, but they look good. The only known problem with the 7075s is that it has a problem with 3DMark2K1's point sprites test. ATi's "Alternate Beta" driver is the 7103; it worked well for me as well.

A lot of people talk about flashing the bios. However this isn't necessary and doesn;'t do a whole lot. More important is to get a good tweaking program for it. I use RadeonTweaker from www.rage3d.com. This program will let you overclock and enable HyperZ, etc.. and its free. The latest drivers can also be found at rage3D I am using 5.13.01.3210 for Win2K and it seems to work fine.
