ATi Radeon 9700 Full Release Review w/ Benchmarks

Posted by timothy on from the the-smell-of-expiring-NDAs dept.

Chalupa_Man writes: "ATi Technologies has officially released their new Radeon 9700 Pro today. Real benchmark numbers and a full review can be found here. The card is impressive for sure and should have NVIDIA on the ropes for a while, as it beats out a GeForce 4 Ti 4600 handily, especially with Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering enabled. Image quality is also top notch for this new high end DX9 compliant product from ATi." sunny_talwar adds these links to more reviews of the new high-end Radeon at AnandTech's and Tom's Hardware. Update: 08/20 03:06 GMT by T : Cp writes "Gamers Depot also has their full review up of the Radeon 9700 Pro, including nice images of the driver tabs and 6x Antialiasing performance."

    This is old news.. the Radeon 9700 has been out for a few hours already. Why do we have to wait so long for news on this site?

    Wolfenstien in 1280x1024

    My GeForce2 already runs Wolfenstien at like 800 fps. How did you manage to get it into 1280X1024 mode though? I didn't think there was a VESA mode that high in DOS.

    Holy polygons, would you just quit the hype already? I *just* ordered a dual-867 Power Mac with GF4 Ti, and I spent a pretty penny for that upgrade - can't a guy bask in hardware glory without some bithead like you going and raining on his GPU parade? Sheesh.
