ATi Radeon 9800 Pro

Posted by michael on from the purty-pictures dept.

ATi is bringing out their new card, the Radeon 9800 Pro, and all of the hardware review sites which depend on ATi's generosity for pre-release hardware have released their necessarily favorable reviews. Here's a few: Hothardware.com, Hexus.net, HardOCP.com, Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, Extremetech, PCWorld.

    Good thing they gave you a f@#$c#ing receipt. Just take it back. I'd strongly recommend you leave the "f@#$c#ing" out of your reason for the return, however. Unless, of course, you bought it at Fry's. :)

  3. What? no ASC? by Destoo · · Score: 3, Funny

    So no ascii version of this card yet? What are they waiting for?

    I'm browsing slashdot using Telix and the refresh rate is really bad with the 9500ASC.

    This is what a really wanted to hear:

    (from the Register)
    "Effectively a 0.13 micron version of the four-pipeline 9500 Pro, the new chip will run both faster and cooler than its predecessor"

    Yes cooler... COOLER.
    Not so freaking hot you need to strap a briggs&stratton lawn mower engine up to a card to power the fan to cool the f'ing thing. Are you listening Nvidia?!
