Thumbs up ATI fans take a look!

Anandtech has posted a preview of ATI's upcoming 7500 and 8500 Radeons.

I just built my new system and can't wait for the new ATI to come out. Been watching it since I heard.

Yeah I saw that, nice system! I also have a ATI Radeon 64mb VIVO. Can't wait until the new ones come out. I hope ATI considers making a MAXX version of the Radeon or one with dual GPU's, that would be cool.

Agree completely, I would liek to really be able to crank up the video. The 64meg almost does it all. I can't complain though it's never done me wrong, but I would like to through a little more back at my Gforce friends. Have you seen the difference in the Gforce3 to the Radion64? WHat did you think?

One thing you can try is a program called Radeon Tweaker. It lets you tweak your Radeon settings:

I know the Geforce 3 is faster than the Radeon, but the Radeon still plays every game I play at good fps with excellent picture quality.

IMHO, it's a better picture quality for which I will sacrifice some speed.
