Replace ATI Radeon 9800 XT Video Card?
The Radeo 9800 XT video card that came with my Dell Dimension XPS 3.2 MHz PC last spring has always given me problems, especially with Alibre, unless the HW acceleration is turned way down. Parts and assemblies displayed in the default window size are always severly pixellated although the pixellation usually disappears when the window is maximized. I'm using a Dell 20" LCD with 1600x1200 resolution.
I've fiddled with settings in the driver and tried newer drivers from ATI and Dell without any improvement. It's beginning to look it would be best just to replace the video card, probably with an NVidia card as my Dell Optiplex system at work runs Alibre just fine.
Has anybody else had a problem with the Radeon XT card?
Can anybody recommend a good replacement?
Mike
