I downloaded the latest Radeon Drivers, and they ID my 32 MB DDR card as a 7200, but when I checked ATI's website, the 7200 is an SDR card. What is going on here?

ATi has re-identified all of the older Radeon cores based upon their closest equivalents in the 7XXX series.

yep he's got it. don't wory your card is still running a double data rate the only thing that has changed is the name that it shows up as. means nothing. i had the same thing happen and i benchmarked to check it out.

Some DDR Radeons use 64-bit datapaths, and some use 128-bit datapaths. Perhaps that SDR-equivalent points out a 64-bit datapath?
