Is RADEON any good? - best tweaks for it too ?


I guess I should have asked this b4 I bought it, but regardless, is the RADEON 64mb DDr, VIVO any good? I mean, should I go and exchange it for a NVIDIA card?

Also, what would the best tweaks for it be? I got this radeon tweaker, and I just clicked on everything reccomended, but was that a good descision? what are the best tweaks for it mailiny running games in d3d and opengl, but opengl foremost.

Thanks

Its a great card. I dont need 300 FPS when I can get 250FPS and better quality colors.

I used Radeon Tweaker and did the same thing you did with the recommended stuff. Seems to be working out good for me.

Personally, it's the best card for the price on the market.

Visit TweakFiles.net for some good tuning programs and whatever you might find there.

I have to agree with the rest of the guys. I replaced my V5 5500 with a Radeon 64 DDR w\vivo. Best thing I ever did! I love this card. Screen capture's not bad either.
