Jupp that is currently the best card at the moment in terms of price/value.

You can´t go wrong with this card man

[mattyboy]

Ok. Great What about the clocking stuff. Is it easyas 123, or for the advanced user...

[Merlin]

Clocking this card is pretty easy actually. I strongly recommend RivaTuner for OC.

Clocking aint hard at all, even freshys can handle that shit

[Hardfredd]

You can easely overclock this cards with this tool:RIVA TUNER

[menT4l]

Buy the 9800pro, great card.

Yeah, the clocking is pretty much "123", just download rage3d(in many cases the best utility for ATI cards) and adjust the slider

[mattyboy]

Such quick replying I think i will go to Komplett after work!! And get the Radeon

 

Thanx you guys

I disagree on that one: Rage3D is in some cases (read on forums) difficult to handle by 123 users. I strongly recommend using RivaTuner instead of Rage.

Good luck with your card, you want get disappointed

Thanx you guys

Where do you live by the way? You speak english but seem to shop on Komplett

The reasons for the quick replies is simply because this is a major site in Norway and has over 30000 users

[mattyboy]

I live in Bergen. have been living here for 5 years now. I do understand Norwegian, but much easier in english... My writing is not so good

As rivatuner is developed by nVidia, I would suppose it is optimized for nVidia cards also, well... The two best clock-utilities by far is ATItool(finds max mem & max core.) and radclocker(The easy is often the best).

 

Good choice by the way mattyboy.

No it works just as well with ATI cards as Nvidia cards.

[Endre]

Yup, the difference is that it also has tweaking options for nVidia cards.

 

Mattyboy; Take a look at my guide at the top in this category. If you can read norwegian it's good, but you can't go wrong even if you just look at the pictures. To OC graphics cards is very easy!

[mattyboy]

Ok. I can read norwegian, so i have got the clocking bug What do you think of clocking my old Gf2 pro 64mb

[Endre]

What do you think of clocking my old Gf2 pro 64mb

Just go ahead. You should get the core up to around 250, don't know about the memory.

[mattyboy]

Can't wait to get home now But hey, if it does go bang. then i got one hell of a good excuse to buy a new card Everyone's a winner.

 

Have been looking on QXL. There is some jerk selling a MSI FX5600XT-TD256 - skjermkort - GF FX 5600 - 256 MB for 800,- Any good, or old crap.

[Thombr86]

The FX5600XT is nVidia's middle-low end card, I'm not sure how good it is, but i wouldn't take it if he trew it at me

But it is a good card for anyone that doesn't play the latest games, or uses the "heaviest" 3D modeling program.

[mattyboy]

Ok. thanx for being honest.

[rlz]

Isn't English a great language, everyone?

 

Yes, the R350 kicks ass
