ATI Radeon LE
Steve Gibson

Tnaw_xtennis, the man most famous for revealing some of the first accurate GeForce numbers, then later posting that neeto how-to in turning GeForce cards into Quadro cards is at it again. ATI has recently released a Radeon budget card, the ATI Radeon LE and word is the card can be hacked to perform just like the 'full version' cards. Here's an email he sent in along with this picture:

... The main difference between "Radeon" and "Radeon LE" is that the feature of ATI HyperZ, which claims can boost the effective memory bandwidth by 20%, on "Radeon" is disabled on "Radeon LE". [...] Athlon 650MHz, 128M Ram PC, the 3DMark2000 result at 1280x1024 32bit was reported to increase from 2070 to 2730 after the hack. Whether this hack is valid indeed is being verifying. If the result is positive, we shall report the detail shortly.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
