Anyone got a Radeon 9600XT?

[Mark]

Hi

I know this is not really related to this Newsgroup, but I
respect the diverse knowledge of the people who access this
NG!

I've just purchased an ATI Radeon 9600XT 256mb, and despite
reading a lot of reviews that mention ATI's Overdrive
feature, I can't find this option anywhere (I have the
latest 3.10 Catalyst download).

Is it a case of it only being available for the 9800XT at
the moment? I have read conflicting reports on this, but
could not get a simple answer from ATI - they just sent me
loads of links for 'issues with Windows XP'!

Thanks

Mark

Thanks Chris, but I still can't get a definitive answer on
this. The posters on that thread all say they can't find
the Overdrive feature, but this review would indicate it is
there:

Ah well, it's not really a problem anyway, just something
that had me puzzled!

"OverDrive is similar to the on-demand 4-wheel-drive you find in
vehicles; it's there when you need it, but it is not manually
adjustable." -

I read it as: it's running in the background, and you can't f*ck with
it. Capisce?

Would it be possible for you to keep your language milder, kurttrail?

No, it's not effin' possible. It's the way I talk schmuck, except there
ain't no *'s. Why do you think I should change the way I write for you?
Can't you take responsibility for your own sensitivities?

So F*CK OFF & plonk me!
