I just was browsing some "Buying a High-End Computer" site and they were talking about the ATI Radeon card, and how it's better than a GeForce 2! I have never heard of this thing before, and was always under the impression that ATI sucked.... anyway, whats the story with this card??

I have only heard of a few lucky people that could get an ATI adapter of any type working with GPL in anything other than Win2000.

The new ATI card performs very well in 32-bit and higher resolutions. However, I still think the GeForce is the most versatile and powerful 'all around' card. However, if you like all the 'goodies'... ATI is known for that and they are producing an "All-in-Wonder" version of this card which again, is nice if you have a need/want for all the extras. Otherwise... buy a nice stable ASUS GeForce 2 <VBG> Scott PA-Scott [email hidden] (tampa) wrote in <8llk5v$re8$[email hidden]>: >I just was browsing some "Buying a High-End Computer" site and they were >talking about the ATI Radeon card, and how it's better than a GeForce 2!

What OS are you running GPL and ATI in? Which drivers and are you using OpenGL or D3D patch? SLG "gordon" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Does the Radeon make your graphics whiter than white? I suppose their next card will be the Radeon Ultra and then the Radeon Colourfast, which doesn't fade your monitor picture over time. ;) (btw if you don't get this, Radeon is a washing powder where I live!)
