Ever since I got my MSI R4870-T2D512 OC Radeon HD 4870 512 MB video card
(starting with Catalyst driver v8.12 and using v9.2 today [haven't tried
v9.3 yet]) and other major computer hardware upgrades in the end of
December 2008, I noticed once in a while and rarely randomly, my ...

I replaced my faulty X2 with the above card, and what a card! Quieter,
cooler, more stable. It takes up two and a bit slots, but I put it in the
bottom PCIe slot on my maximus formula board. One happy customer here, and
the ASUS driver did not give that INF file not found error.

Having problems with DirectX?
No options to enable DirectDraw within DxDiag?
Installed all the latest drivers?
Still not working?

I see Hydravision download at the bottom of this page but no info on what it
is for. Is it like Nvidia's Nview or what?

After a recent LAN party my son's PC has been running like a dog. The
current ATI X850 PE only puts out about 9 fps in TF2. It was running
fine before so not sure what happened.
One "funny" issue is that even after I reinstall it after full driver

Have there been any benchmarks to compare identical cards, with one being
built on DDR3 and the other GDDR3? I'd like to know how much of a
performance difference exists. When a manufacturer takes a GDDR3 reference
spec and takes it down to regular DDR3, is that just smart ...

I had a 128 MB ATI FireGL card in the Dell 610 and ran FSX Gold
Acceleration Pack without problems (except for the board's inability to
handle gaming) and recently switched to an nVIDIA 9800 GT, but having
a LOT of Fatal Error problems. Searching around with google, many

Why doesn't ATI post reference specs on their website? They only have
laundry lists of functional features but don't give information like clock
frequencies. nvidia has this info for their cards. It's just annoying having
to check third-party reviews for this info, who knows if ...

Was just wondering if anyone could give me their opinion between thes
graphics cards. I am trying to decide if the GTX+ is worth the extr
loot or not. Iff I decide to just stick with the regular 9800 Gt
should I choose evga or bfg? They both give different features

FYI

I have a 3 yr old Asus board(939)  running with an AMD 64 X2 4800.  The
video card is an X1900XT.  Starting to see failures due to heat or just
plain old can't keep up graphically.  I'm sure this is a silly question to
some but can I replace my card with any of the newer ATI ...

recently I have been getting lots of BSOD in Vista 64. When I reboot, I have
graphic corruption on the BIOS boot screen, and two thick vertical bands
running down the monitor. The last occurred when I tried to run World In
Conflict. Other times the PC runs fine. I suspect ...
