Title: anyone use radeon 7500 built by ati mine is running horrible?
Post by: tyweed on May 29, 2003, 11:36:11 am

I'v had this raeon 7500 in my computer for 4 months now and i'v had nothing but trouble! I'm running on my cab tiger woods and the hulk right now and both have graphics that are all messed up. Is anyone else having this problem? anyone fix it somehow? I'v heard i can update my drivers or something but it's 4months old woiuld this be necessary?

I am using the same card and have not had a problem.  I would highly suggest downloading the drivers from Ati.com.  You would think that it would come with the latest drivers, but it doesn't.  

If you have further problems feel free to contact me via PM

as Sprucemoose said, download the latest drivers, see if that fixes it...

the new Catalyst drivers have been out for a few weeks (ver 3.4 i think) and apparently give around a 30% speed/performance boost to all compatible cards

Best video card I've ever had, actually.  Kicks ass when compared to anything from nVidia I've used/seen.  The 7500 has worked great since I've bought it.

Works great here.
I don't have Tiger or the Hulk but everything I have including Unreal 2003 runs smooth as silk.
Like the others said update the driver to the latest version.

If I were you I would download the latest catalyst drivers, reformat, and re-install.  If you are overclocking your AGP bus set it back to the default to see if it helps.
