How much Performance Diff. between Radeon 32DDR and 64DDR ??

[BigLance]

Is there enough differenc between these two cards to justify the price difference ? The 64MB Version just has more memory right, not faster clock or anything ? Does the 32MB have the Video In/Out (Not TV Tuner) but like the 64MB version ?

Thanks for helping !

I think the 64 MB versions run a bit faster at higher resolutions. Not sure if there are any more performance gains.

No huge difference yet but with the newer games coming out the 64 meg in my opinion is the way to go. They're both excellent cards.

Check the benches in Anand's Radeon SDR review (I know I said SDR, it's the only one that has numbers for all the different radeons side by side though). The largest the difference between the two gets is 7fps, and is usually less. 7fps for about $100 USD more? Not a tough judgement call for me...

I just got this card and there seems to be a bug with monitor using Mitsu or Sony tube. It's flickering like hell and it's driving me crazy. I would be careful if I were you thinking about getting this card. Still waiting for ATI to release a patch of something.

Go to Rage3d and download the 7041 Beta drivers. They fix the flickering problem.

Too bad for me. I'm running W2K.

You can overclock the 64DDR more since it comes with 5.5ns memory and the VIVO function is great if you plan to use. That's enough to justify the $100 difference.

Should mention the 32DDR features a lower clock speed and has no VIVO. Also the 64DDR will more than likely produce more fps at higher resolutions.

The 64MB version has 183/183 (core/memory), 32MB DDR and SDR have 166/166. Many people have successfully hit 200/200 with the 32MB DDR and 64MB DDR. So the 64MB comes with slightly faster specs, but they translate into minor gains. I just got the 32MB DDR version, $160 shipped from onvia.

Paldo,

If your talking about the drivers, Rage3d also has the Win2k drivers.

Yippy Kiyay.. Thanks SF DUDE it worked. No more flickering..

Guilty, only the retail 64DDR has 183/183 clock.

Ok here is why I ask,

I want to turn my whole background into an incoming video signal, I have seent his done on TechTV with an AIW Radeon 32MB, I am wondering if I have to have the AIW or will the 64MB DDR Radeon with video in/out do the trick for me ???? Please help, thanks everyone for your replies !

I think the Radeon is a sh!t product

 

[BigLance]

Thanks for that worthless comment....

Anybody else have anything positive to add.... thanks in advance !

I dont think the 64 meg would be worth spending the extra $ save the cash you save buying the 32 meg and get the next generation Radeon next year.
