Hi, I recently upgraded from my HD3870 to a HD5770. While previously I used RivaTuner to display the framerate in-game, unfortunately RivaTuner doesn't seem to work with the HD5xxx models anymore. So I was wondering: What do you guys use nowadays to check out the speed improvements each...

Hi, I recently bought a ATi HD 5770, which at first I connected to my Dell Display via HDMI. The display is 16:10 with a 1920x1200 resolution. Everything worked just fine and as expected. I then got a new AV receiver, the Yamaha RX-V465, which supports HDMI passthrough. So now the HD5770...

Hi there, I decided to check out the EVE-Online trial today, I chose the new version with better graphics. I had tested the game some years ago, and remembered it for its beautiful graphics. Now, however, I notice some heavy banding, as can be seen in the screenshot below. Any idea what might...

Hi, I've been trying to play Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on Vista today, but the game just won't start. Everytime I click the icon, it goes fullscreen for a couple of seconds, then bounces back to the desktop. The game keeps running though and hogs CPU power. I've been trying all the...

Hey there, I'm planning on replacing my oldish 9800 Pro with a new card. Due to budgetary reasons, it has to be AGP, and also as cheap as possible :D I was planning on buying a X800 GTO for a while now, as it is around 160€. Now an offer for a Asus AX800 Pro popped up, at ~185€. Now for the...

Hi, as the topic says I got a HIS Exalibur Radeon 8500 / 64MB RAM. The fan on this card is starting to bug me cause it's awfully loud, so I decided to exchange it with a different one. Now the problem is that you can't simply replace it, because the fan kinda fits into the cooler. Solution...

Hi everyone, yesterday I finally bought a Excalibur Radeon 8500 275/275, because my good old Voodoo5 just gets old ;( It's sad but true. Anyways, the cooler on the radeon was defect, so i got a new one. This one was also defect, and now I got my third and working Radeon and I am happy! My...
