Radeon 9700 Pro: ATI Ahead

Posted by Hemos on from the battle-rages-on dept.

Keefe writes "The epic battle between ATI and Nvidia wages on. While Nvidia awaits arrival of their near-fabled NV30 for redemption, ATI conquers all by introducing the fastest and most advanced graphics card to date. The next-generation ATI Radeon 9700 Pro marks the second time Nvidia cedes the performance crown to ATI (the first time being the brief glory when the ATI Rage Fury beat the Nvidia TNT). See how the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro stacks up at Techware Labs."

  3. Radeon 9500 is news, not 9700 by Angry+Black+Man · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The Radeon 9700 has been leading for months upon months now. There have been countless articles about it slaughtering the GF4 Ti4600. This is not news.

    If you want some videocard news, you should look at the newly released ATi Radeon 9500 Pro. It supports AGP 8x, something that only a couple special GeForce 4 "Ti4800" cards do, and it can be had with 128mb and 64mb of RAM for around $50-80 less than a GF4 4600.

    In the benchmarks on Anandtech above, it comes within 2fps of the Ti4600 in most cases.

    Not only is ATi giving Nvidia's top dog a run for it's money, but also their value products.
