Just got home haven't installed it yet. Newegg is very fast!
I do have a tid bit of bad news though on the memory chips it says the following..
hyundai-125a
hy5du64122at-55
korea :-(
I bet overclocking mem will suck big time... maybe im wrong though
on the heatsink though it says powered by ati though
where do i look on the card to find my ns rating??
thanks

Whelp tried to install latest drivers from ati guess what came up?
Drivers are not compatible with display adapter on your system....
this just stinks big time......
also on back of card it says made in china
going to install 3dmark2001
see how that does...

MY LE BEATS THIS THING ON 3DMARK2001!!!!!!
THIS IS RIDICULOUS......

[NewbiePerson]

Whelp it looks like the core is somehow locked
and refuses to go above 250
the memory will go to 220, but still im returning it..
very disppointing
i did get my bus up to 120 but anything above it freezes....

By Powered by ATI that means that the card was made by an ODM, (aka an OEM) I dont know much about Oem and Retail (aka MADE BY ATI) 7500's

Your memory is hyundai 5.5ns ram, thats what this tells you hy5du64122at-55

I've read a few people tell me that they recieved 7500's with 3.6ns Hynix ram the same that ships with most 8500's(retail and OEM, some use 4ns


I would RMA that one back and ask the vendor if he possibly knows the Ram ns speed or buy a Retail

Want some advise? Wait a couple weeks and buy a Gigabyte Radeon 7500 or 8500, the 8500 has faster ram that Retail MADE BY ATI units, and both the 7500 and 8500 Gigabyte Retail models have hardware monitoring which is nice. Similiar to the Leadtek GF3 TDH

Read some of Cisco kids posts as he has a nice 7500

Like I told you in my earlier posts , quit dicking around pay the extra $10-15 and get a RETAIL ATI made 7500 as I did.

Then you would not go through the self inflicted aggrevation you have just knowingly caused yourself. The added expense of returning the card has just negated any savings you thought you would have made by going to the oem "spin the wheel crapshoot"

My card is an example of what you get if you just buy retail ATI products, my overclock speaks for the reason to buy retail.

I am not flaming you in any way I just feel bad that you are having a shi*** experience. Also when you get your new ATI retail card use the omega 1086 drivers, if ya need a link just holler, all the best getting you card mess soted out.
