My tuppence worth is Radeon cards are good, but the drivers absolutely suck!

ATI are renowned for creating pants drivers.

I used to have a Radeon 7500 64mb, dam thing cost me £200 when it first came out, anyway with W2K latest SP's and all latest drivers installed, I couldnt even run MOHAA on lowest settings and 640 res, dam thing was so laggy! I had to go back 7 driver versions before it ran okish!

My advice to you is dump the Radeon and get a GF4... I got a GF4, ultra750XP and it runs everything on full at the highest res you can set and my FPS hardly ever drops below 90. biggrin:

If you cant afford a new card then try older driver versions, like I said above, going back 7 driver versions helped my system.

Yes i know versions should be backward compatible, and it doesnt make sense, but trust me it helped!

Cheers
