Radeon 64 DDR Issues
Having trouble with a Radeon 64 DDR card. In Quake2 it will not run at a resolution higher than 1024 in Open GL mode without reduced screen size. The strange thing is that Q2 runs in 1600x1200 with only the left and right edges trimmed in. 1140 and 1280 it runs in extremely reduced screen. In UT it will not run in anything but Direct3d and only as high as 1024. Quake 3 will not run past the menu. Windows will not run at a resolution higher than 1024 I have downloaded latest Open GL drivers and Video Card Drivers and nothing has changed. I have the latest Bios on my Mobo. I get mostly the same symptoms on my rock solid P2 350 with 192mb Ram. My viper 770 Ultra outperforms the Radeon. I was expecting much much more from this card. I must be missing something? I have heard of many with problems on the Radeon video cards, are there any common problems out there ?
System Atholon 1.33 Ka266-R Mobo (latest bios with bios settings for the Radeon) 512mb DDR Ram View Sonic A95f (latest drivers) Windows 98 SE |

Hi,
What version of Direct X are you using? Do you have the latest Radeon driver? Also do you have the latest drivers for your chipset? HTH |

I'm using DirectX 8.0a.
I had downloaded the latest drivers. I had installed the latest Ali chipset drivers for the I-Will Ka266-R. |

I just installed the Radeon 64 DDR on my home system. I don't have any of the problems you seem to be facing. Q3 will run at 1600x1200 with no problems in OpenGL. And we seem to have similar specs:

Thanks for the feedback,
I'm starting to suspect a problem with the Ali Magic chipset. I tried a Voodoo5500 and it ran fine in Windows but could not run any graphics acceleration. I tried the latest AGP Driver and had no luck. Ali seems to be taking trouble reports on the issues and hopefully will be working the driver issues. For Quake2, I can get 1600x1200 resolution to work but both ends are very compressed and it does not run smoothly. In 1280 mode it runs in a window. Quake 3 will not even run past the menu. Anyone out there running the I-Will Ka266R Mobo and a Radeon 64 with any success? |
