Which Tweak Program For Radeon LE?

[DJediMaster]

I just picked up a radeo LE card. I tried using radeon tweaker, but i don't understand what half of the settings do. Playing around with the settings doesn't seem to help either as they seem to slow down the card. Which tweak program would you recommend? Thanks.

go to www.rage3d.com and download raid-on tweaker
it'll do everything for you

I would download raid-on tweaker, but I would also flash the radeon le to a radeon ddr. I cant find the program, but if you want I'll send it to you. Just pm me.

Edit: You will lose TV Out if you have a TV Out Radeon LE if you flash it with the regular radeon DDR bios. And you will not gain hyperz in D3D. You must do the reg hack for that. Check out this very long thread very long thread

Another quick tip I mention in another thread.

Don't bother messing with the latency/ram timings. You'll probably just mess up your screen until you reboot (if you can even find the start button afterwards)

DOn't have it do ANYTHING automatically on reboot until you're sure it all works fine.

Well RadeonTweaker, Rage3d Tweaker, and Raid-on all basically do the same thing. I just prefer RadeonTweaker. Ya know it tells what all the settings do in RadeonTweaker and whether he recommends if they are enabled or disabled.

As far as tweaks slowing them down, yes that's possible. I've seen several posts at Rage3d and some people say to not mess with any tweaks as much of the time they can slow things down or cause visual errors. I only use a few tweaks like t&l enabled, vsync enabled, texture compression on, just simple things like that.

I wouldn't flash your LE. All you need to do is get a tweaker, overclock it to 166/166 (that's a safe setting w/o a fan), and enabled hyper-z. There is a option in RadeonTweaker called 'make sure hyper-z is enabled at boot' and it says for that one to be checked if you got a LE.

edit: I noticed in RadeonTweaker, you just goto Options -> Enable Hyper-z on Radeon LE. Then bump up the clock to 166/166 and you're done. Very simple and fast.

so flashing will only set the default clock speed to 166mhz? is that the only benefit of flashing the bios?

Yes, that's the only thing it does. So don't bother if you want to overclock higher.
