I recently purchased an ATI Radeon 32MB DDR (OEM) video card from i4digital.com. Their web page stated that hyper z was on the card. I think that what they sent me was an Radeon LE, which does not have the hyper z option. There is a picture of my card at

front of card
back of card

Please tell me if this is what I ordered or not, and if not, what i can do about returning it.

Thanks in advance, wraith84

I think you're right. Do a search and take a look at some of the Radeon LE threads in the Hot Deals forum to find out for sure.

That card is an LE, the regular Radeon 32Mb has a fan on the heatsink. I would not worry about it, you can enable HyperZ by manipulating some registry settings using Radeon Tweaker.

Still they ripped him off, I went to their site and they offer the OEM Ati Raedon 32MB or the Raedon VE.... that is neither, he paid for a regular ATI Raedon 32MB but they ripped him off and gave him a LE.

So it's an LE, that's what I thought. I'd rather get the regular 32MB card, and not have to deal with overclocking the LE. Since, the advertised card was not LE, and I paid for the non-LE, I'm going to contact them and try to get it exchanged.

Thanks again,

And if they give you any problems or hassle you at all about exchanging it for the proper card, make sure you leave them appropriate feedback at ResellerRatings

Gotta help others who might think about ordering from folks who like to try to rip people off...
