Well, not THE Radeon. I wanted a 64 but got the Radeon32 DDR because that's all they had in stock. Still, it oc'd to 183mhz no problem. Colors and textures are great. NH @1280 all graphics maxxed getting 40+ fps according to the game. I can't get fraps to work with the card. All is smooth. Funny, I had to turn on high detail cars in the cfg file. There was no option for it in the menu. The benchmark doesn't show the driver and roof fins, but in the game they show. Haven't tried it with much else, but the display is about the best I've seen. Oh well, time to repair the washing machine ;( Probably shouldn't have oc'd it.

Great! Please keep us posted on how it's doing. (I have the 64mb ATI Rage Fury Maxx) -Cheers! "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Q9cq5.8355$[email hidden]... > Well, not THE Radeon.

The geforce is probably faster in 16bit color. Anyway, I got fraps to work. Shows 50 to 60 fps while game is running. I think NH (and other) benchmark programs are having problems with the Radeon. It also shows a fill rate of 60,000mpixls. The card is really quite smooth. Slot Tony Dale wrote in message ...

Yes from what I've read, the Radeon really "shows it's colours" <grin> at 32bit and at the High resolutions (1024x768 and above) -Cheers! "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2UHq5.8727$[email hidden]... > The geforce is probably faster in 16bit color. Anyway, I got fraps towork.

You should have waited for Radeon Ultra which makes your graphics whiter than white, or Radeon Colour-Fast, which doesn't fade your monitor picture with prolonged use :) (In England, Radeon is a washing powder) "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Q9cq5.8355$[email hidden]... > Well, not THE Radeon.
