Notebook Ati Cards - Radeon 9800 And Radeon X600 Difference

Replies: 2 | Post Date: May 11th 2005 | User: Manavampire | Forums: devhardware.com
Say a 256mb radeon 9800, and/or 256 radeon x600, how much of a difference would these have compared to their desktop counterparts. I wanna assume that they would try to just port it into the lappy but i seriously doubt that. So i guess that if the desktop 9800 has 8 pipes, the lappy version wud have 4 to keep it cooler? Same applies to x600 then right?

The other thing is, how does the desktop x600 compare to nvidia. Wats its competitor card? A regular 6800? Highly doubt that. Ill look this one up. I dont know the number of pipes on the x600. . Using sapphire's x600 pro for reference. It is 4 pipes. What the , fx series then?! 5950xt or sumthin in that order?

Difference Between Gigabyte Radeon And Ati Radeon

Is there a difference between in quality in let's say a gigabyte radeon 9600pro and ati radeon 9600pro. The reason i am asking this is because a had problems with my gigabyte radeon 9600pro and wonder if it would perform better if it were from another manufacturer. I'm thinking of upgrading soon so this is important.

Ati Radeon 9800 Xt Lock Ups

I just installed a new motherboard and since then i cannot get my 9800xt to run on the pc. It will freeze within 5 mins for sure. I have run the pc on its onboard video and another video card and it runs perfect for weeks. I have installed the 9800xt into another pc and no problems, it has now ran it for over 3 days, so i know the card is fine. So i am almost positive its some type of setting. I have fdisked and reloaded windows and not installed a single program. It ran the windows install fine with the 9800xt but once it got to windows it locked up within 5 mins. I am not able to even have enough time to install the catalyst driver. If i run it with the onboard video or this other cheap card i can run it for weeks. The pc i tested the 9800xt on is a really slow old pc, with no catalyst drivers, just the windows drivers it installs automatically. I have disabled the onboard video when i have tried to run the 9800xt and that didn't change a thing. The only possible thing is i think that old pc is 4x agp and the one i am trying to get it to run on is 4x/8x and in the bios there is no place to change the agp speed. My setup is. Mainboard: aopen ax4sg
Processor: intel pentium 4 3. 06gb
Memory: 2gb 266ddr
Hard drive: western digital 80gb

Sapphire Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Or Pny Nvidia 6600 Gt

I was looking at the sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb and the pny nvidia 6600 gt at tigerdirect.com. Both look like amazing cards. I believe that the 6600 gt is 128 bit and not 256 bit like the 9800. And/or if the 6600 gt has other properties that can account for the difference in ghz i guess. My friend has the sapphire and he says it works great. I was wondering if the 6600 gt is better or worse than the sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb. The 6600gt is slightly less that the sapphire, i want to know which one i will get the most bang for my buck with. You can check out the cards at tiger direct of you want. I need an expert opinion on this because 230$ is alot of money for me. I kno all my system specs and everything i am torn between these 2 cards.

Radeon 9800 Issue

Pentium iii
1133 mhz
320 mb ram
Radeon 9800 pro *128 mb (is there a real difference between the 256 and the 128 in their performances?)

I know, i know. Lousy computer for an awesome graphics card. Hope fully i'm gonna get a pentium 4 in a few more weeks with 512 mb ram, hopefully even more. I do the system compatibility test in the ati multimedia tool bar. Everything a-ok except some capture driver installation failure, a warning about dma for cd operations may not be enabled and the most important. "Directx components are not installed properly", meaning, it thinks i don't have directx 8. 1 or greater installed(properly). So i downloaded dx 9. 0c, i do the test again. The exact same thing, didn't find the directx 9. 0c. I followed the help instructions, checked the dxdiag, said directx 9. 0c, went to display and only the test directdraw button was enabled. The direct3d was not enabled and the 3 accelerations were not available and the enable buttons were "blocked". Yes, i followed the instructions and went to the ati troubleshoot and the hardware acceleration was on high. What the *** is wrong with my radeon(hey! It rhymes! ). I kept searching for instructions but there was absolutely no answer!

Radeon 9800 Xt White Spots

I have a radeon 9800xt. It has 1 vga output and 1 dvi output. I use a dvi to vga converter to output to a 2nd monitor (my big lcd tv). I have been using this setup no problem for a couple of years. However, i am now having issues with 'video' playback. The actual pc image (ie windows) displays fine on both monitors. However, when i play a video file - whether it be xvix, divx a dvd etc or whatever play i use wm classic, wmp etc, i get a video full of 'white spots' on both display- i have attached a photo. This does not occur when the 2nd display isn't selected. So, i don't beleive it's a codec issue. I use the catalyst control center to switch displays - i use 'clone' mode mainly, but have tried the others.

Radeon 9800 Pro Bios Flash

I've been reading these forums for quite some time on overclocking my cpu and video card which all have helped greatly. Now i have a question. Flashing the video card bios, how is that done exactly or is it recommended? I noticed ati tray tools have an option to dump the card bios. What does that do exactly?

My radeon is a saphire brand, i noticed on their website they have a bios flash utility, winflash. Does that flas my card bios to the most recent bios? Again is this something i need to do, should do?

Upgrading From Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb

I currently have a radeon 9800 pro 256mb, i was thinking of getting a more powerful card but i was wondering if i just got nvidia 7800 gtx (or something else thats pretty much top of the line) by itself would it be a big leap over how my computer can handle my current and future games on high settings or do i also need to change my cpu and things. Im obviously not gonna want to spend the cash if i there isn't going to be big improvement in what my computer will be able to handle. Id really appreciate any feedback cause i don't really know anything about computers and video cards. This is what im currently running on:

Amd athlon 64 3200 2. 0 ghz
1 gig of ram
Radeon 9800 pro 256 mb

Ive heard about the dual and quad cards but i dont have the cash for that. So would if i just got one of top cards out right now would it be enough?

Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Issues

I have sent a support ticket to ati, but my experiences with their techies aren't particularly good ones, so i thought i'd post here as well. Here is what i sent them:

When i attempt to play any 3d game, i find that the game freezes and causes either a system hang or the video driver to reset itself (meaning slow performance and no directx support), depending on the game. I have tried reinstalling my catalyst drivers many times, but has never helped. I have also tried to reinstall directx, but that also hasn't appeared to have helped. I have even tried installing a new power supply, and while this solved some problems, it hasn't solved this one. So yeah. I also have no access to another computer with which to try my graphics card, so i'm a bit buggered there. It should still be under warranty if it needs repairing, but i'm a bit skeptical of that due to the high shipping cost and long distance to the usa. But if i have to, i will!

Edit: a couple of other things i meant to ask:can anyone tell me why my install file for catalyst 7. 7 tries to run in dos mode, which, of course, it fails at? The 7. 5 version of my catalyst control center refuses to open, and, on start-up, says the "catalyst control center: host application has encountered an error and needs to close. " Any ideas why?

Radeon 9800 Xt 256mb Video Card Issue

Radeon 9800 xt 256mb video card. My mac dual 2 ghz powerpc g5. My cpu will go into sleep mode but my video card with a fan on it won't. Is it possible that even though everything seems to be running ok i may have still installed it wrong. It was very hard to see sliding the card in for it to make connections. I have the power connector connected via the dvd power cord with a y connector. Also i really don't see any very fast speed change.

Ati Radeon 7000 Error

Recently purchased a radeon 7000 graphic card. The card that came installed on the pc is an internal radeon xpress 200 graphic card. At first the card was working fine, the new one. (Radeon 7000). But i formatted my computer, and now when i go to watch any type of movie/video, be it on the web, or a regular dvd, the graphics don't display. I hear audio, but the visual is black. This also causes the computer to freeze up causing me to have to reboot. Some people told me that i am missing some codecs. Well i downloaded a lot, and its still not working. So i have reformatted my computer, and haven't downloaded any specific codec files. When i try to play a movie off of my radeon xpress 200 with my radeon 7000 unplugged, the movies play just fine, but when i plug in my 7000 and run my monitor(s) off of that one, the movies stall and refuse to display anything. Is there a driver update i am missing? I made sure i downloaded the latest ones from the ati website. I also ran dxdiag and its showing no problems with any drivers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I've also done the cmd// debug// and saw my number was 78501. So i went to the site, and downloaded the . Bin but i don't know how/where to install it. http://www.Techpowerup.com/bios/?Search=78501
Thats the one that i downloaded.

I can do some trick do split the picture between the monitors. For example i could watch tv with christv on the analog and do my work on the dvi. Is this possible with this graphic card and how? Does anybody know?

Ati Radeon Hd 3650 Error

I bought a ati radeon hd3650 to replace my old. Ati x1900 and i have been experiencing a lot of difficulty since i bought it a few months ago i have realized that there is some kind of graphic error with the video card because each time i attempt to play a video file on my computer i get this huge green screen error before i thought it was a video codec problem and then i later realized i had the same error with pc games. I am not successfully able to play a pc game properly with out unbalanced graphics and a green screen covering over the entire game screen and even with pc games with requirements of low amounts of ram will not work properly with out a huge green screen over it on my ati x1900 i was successfully able to play a limited amount of games including ones that i have been trying on my new ati radeon hd3650 and when they are being played on it a green screen error covers up the graphics i have direct x 9. 0 installed and this is a direct x 10 card.

Ati Radeon X800 Problem

I'm in no way an expert in these things, but i do know a few things here and there, i'll try to explain my problem as best as i can. Specs:
Ati radeon x800
Dell dimension 8400
(If more than this is needed, just ask. )

Twice before, while i was playing world of warcraft (this only occurred when i was playing wow) the screen would suddenly develop squares all over the screen. Not in a checkerboard pattern, but they were aligned vertically and horizontally, with spacing in between each of them. I tried turning the monitor off and on, but the squares persisted (i'm assuming this rules out the monitor as the problem). The first time it happened, i windowed out of it, and the squares persisted on teh desktop and the text-ed areas of firefox. The second time it happened, the dekstop and firefox seemed to shake them off (i'm not sure if this is of any relevance). I just opened it up and dusted off the card and everything else, and i'm about to update the drivers, to see if that is of any help. But if anyone could shed some light on why this is happening, and whether the drivers may or may no help it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ati Radeon X1300 Problem

I went and got another one but i am pretty sure i need to upgrade my power supply and that was the problem with the first one not working. Any inputs on my problem?

Ati Radeon X800 Xl Problem

My old 9700pro just died so i recently bought a x800xl straight from ati. However, when tried booting it up, it gave me one long and 2 short beeps meaning video adapter error, but i checked the power and agp connections and they are fine. I also tried disconnecting the sound card, and unplugging the power off the unnecessary hardware. What could be wrong?

In the meantime, i tried inserting my old video card back in and it also made the same beeps! Then afterwards after a restart, i gave me that infamous high-low alternating beeping sound, then after a restart, back to the video card error (1 long, 2 short) then after a final restart, it finally worked!

Since the old video card was now working, i tried putting in my new x800xl card in but then it again gave me the video adapter error (1 long 2 short), after several restarts, no change. I have a p4 2. 4c, 1. 5gb ram, abit ic7, x800xl and a antec 350w psu.could it be that the psu cannot handle the extra load of the card or is the video card that i got defective?

Ati Radeon X850 Xt Bsod

Bought what was advertised as new on ebay, an ati radeon x850 xt pci-e. Installed in my hp pavilion a1510n without problems. As i boot up, i see something strange: the hp boot screen is heavily artifacted in vertical patterns. Even stranger, as i enter bios many of the usual letters in the menus are replaced by strange symbols and numbers. Same thing if i enter bios setup. This stays apparent until i get into windows (before installing ati drivers; stock nvidia ones are still there). Once in everything looks ok for the most part. Naturally windows loads its own default driver until i install catalyst. So i proceed to first uninstall the nvidia drivers and install catalyst 7. 1 that i had just dled from website. Installation goes through fine, i am asked to reboot, and i do, hoping i won't see the artifacts again. Same artifacts appear in bios again, but boot process is otherwise unaffected. At this point i had already changed primary video adapter from "onboard" to "pci e" in bios, so they shouldn't be affecting each other. As my computer goes past the xp load screen, it will go black for a bit as if loading desktop but instead greets me with a bsod, saying "ati2dvag" was to blame and "the device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. " Important: i've seen others describing bsod's appearing midgame, but mine came up everytime as windows was booting up. I tried older versions of catalyst, the drivers alone, and omega drivers but all of them gave me the same bsod on startup. Booting in safe mode didn't show the same errors, so i'm pretty sure at this point it's either a driver issue or a bad gpu. Can anybody advise me as to what i should do at this point? I haven't been doing any overclocking or anything of the sort with the system, it's all stock. I've only had this card for a few hours. Does anybody know of issues arising when ati cards are put on mobos with onboard nvidia?

Ati Radeon 5770 Problem

My machine runs an intel i5 3ghz with 8gb of ram. My power supply is a corsair 650 watt. I purchased an ati redeon 5770. It ran a little hot but it worked fine for a few days, then it went kaput. Windows wouldn't even detect the device anymore and the drivers were up to date. So i traded the card in for a nvidia ge force galaxy gts 250. Ive had it for the better part of a month and it has worked fine and the temp never climes above 65-66 even under significant load. Anyways for the same money, the radeon seems to be a much better card and i know tons of people who run them. So, i decided to give it another shot. I went and got a new one and have been monitoring the temp. I notice the temp climbs to the mid 60s pretty quickly and the fan maxes out. Now, the when its under a decent load, the temp gets between 69-72. The temp and fan also drop super quickly when i reduce the load on the card. This is with the case open and two case fans btw. My question is, since the card is a bit beefier, does it just run a little hotter? Is the monitoring software included with the card not that great? How hot is too hot for the card? The temp gauge seems to indicate that the temps its running in are still in the green zone, but its a graphic and i don't know if the colors on the gauge are for show, or are meant to be an actual indicator. My power supply seems to be fine and it should be more than enough to power the card. Ive done some research but the answers vary pretty wildly. This is my first ati card, maybe they just behave very differently from nvidia cards?

Ati Radeon Hd 5770 Temperature

Alright so heres my question, began playing crysis among other graphic power houses since yesterday and well i get around' 72-76 degrees c' which i hear is good as long as it stays under 85. But in idle it's around the 50's ranging from 50 itself all the way up to 59, granted i do have firefox open and some youtube videos with flash and stuff turned on . But still!

I hear my card is low on temp which should be around 46 degrees c', when i got up early this morning it was cold super cold like ice, was around 30 degrees c', nice and frosty. But as the damned sun comes up bam! It settles in the 50's. But when it starts to rain for awhile it drops back down to around 48 to 49 in idle. S. Yeah what is going on? Not sure if i have a cooler so

Oh and the card in question is an' ati radeon hd 5770 - not overclocked, its in normal state. And its a single atirhd5770 card, not a dual otherwise i wouldn't be asking.

Ati Radeon Hd 5870 Manufacturers

I have been searching for a decently priced 5870 card and found that xfx did the cheapest (on www.Scan.co.uk). However after reviewing my future purchase i found that many people have had a problem with xfx cards and that their rmd leaves much to be desired. I also found that visiontek were the most preferred manufacturer and so set out to find how much they priced them at in the uk. And so this is were i got stuck. I cannot find a visiontek radeon hd 5870 card anywhere on online uk computer hardware stores like scan and lambdatek and started to wonder if you could get them in the uk at all. So i opted to get a sapphire one instead, however i then found two sapphire 5870 cards existed (not including the eyefinity 6 ones) and that one of them hasn't been released yet. I am wondering if i should wait for the soon-to-be released sapphire card, get the current sapphire one or is there in fact a store that sells a visiontek card. (Also if there are other recommended manufacturers other than these two i should consider that are priced around £300 to £350, or cheaper if possible, although that goes into xfx territory). Thanks in advance for any help and the sapphire cards are:
