ATI Radeon 9x00 series tweak guide

**G.I.BRO** · Aug 29, 2003, 04:05 PM

Came across this tweak guide today over at TechSpot, and I must say this was one of the most detailed and well thought out articles that I’ve seen that covers tweaks and such for ATi’s Rx00 series. A must read for sure!

If something should be said about ATI, is the impressive way they managed to accomplish many things in a relatively short timeframe. Beyond releasing the first truly DirectX 9 graphics card, they also got to beat NVIDIA in terms of performance and drivers development, which still happens to come along extremely well, and that last thing is something we probably never have thought just a couple of years back.
This guide will take you through configuring your system for best compatibility/performance along with your ATI Radeon graphics card, covering options available with the latest Catalyst Drivers. For reference sake, this guide was prepared using an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AGP video card using an Abit NV7-133R nForce (AGP 4X) and later an Abit NF7-S nForce 2 (AGP 8X) motherboards running Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Catalyst 3.5/3.6 Drivers.

Just finished speaking to Terry Makedon, Catalyst Maker through out several forum boards, and this is what he had to say…

"That is a very well written and thorough article. Thanks for all the hard work you put into this Thomas. I have also asked all our software managers to have a look at this guide and help with any ambiguous or inaccurate points"

Be sure to check out the full article!
