I have a Radeon 9200se And I would just like some information on what the best settings are for gaming. Also are there any utilities that allow me to tweak settings WITHOUT installing any extra drivers?


Intel P4 3.00GHZ HT 800MHZ FSB
1.5 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM
128MB Radeon 9200
80GB 7200RPM SEAGATE BARRACUDA
4 GB Quantum Fireball 5400rpm

Thankyou for that. Do you think im might be better off getting a new card? I have around £100 - £120 To spend, what card would you reccomend in this price bracket in terms of performance?

Also (I know this sounds REALLY silly) Will this void my warranty by running one of those tools?

How about if I JUST installed the omega drivers?
And Is it likely that overclocking one component like the graphics card will void my pc world warranty totally?

I can't see Omega drivers voiding a warranty nor can I see any reason overclocking a video card would void a system warranty.

If you replace a heatsink, add a fan, flash the card with a different bios or smoke it by overclocking, I wouldn't expect or ask for warranty service on the card.

You can use the latest Omega drivers and overclock that card if you wish under XP. But, you do risk damage to your card just like getting your tonsils removed may stop your heart. I'm fully prepared to go out and buy another card if my efforts on a se card kill it.

It pretty much boils down to; use it as it is or take your chances.

Hope we helped at least some.
