FthrJACK Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 it blows the ti4600 out of the water!!! i want it!!http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzMw
Snoop Posted July 18, 2002 Posted July 18, 2002 ATI has also updated there site with the radeon dx9 demos obviously these wont work on non radeon9700 cards but as always there is also an mpg format of them for those that would like to watch the videos of the demos and see just what king of graphics this beast can dohttp://www.ati.com/developer/demos/r9000.html
FthrJACK Posted July 18, 2002 Author Posted July 18, 2002 ill try later the sites only giving out 10kb/sec on those downloads - which sucks!
Snoop Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 it turns out the exe files are just higher quality BINK videos.so i assume the demos arent complete yet and they just bashed them upto show what it is capable of and as no one has a radeon 9700 yet i guess it dont matter.i wonder how the final radeon 9700 demos will look.
Snoop Posted July 19, 2002 Posted July 19, 2002 Looks like there adding better cooling to the cardit will still be intresting to see what the third party manufactures do with the cooling ,i expect gainward and hercules models to have nice ram sinks and a better quality fan.
zErO Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 Here are some of the Benchmarking comparisons that Extreme Tech posted:Radeon 9700 PerformanceSettings - 1024x768x32 with 4x FSAANHL 2002:Geforce 4 TI 4600 - 100Radeon 9700 - 89Dungeon Siege:GF4 TI 4600 - 100Radeon 9700 - 132Jedi Knight 2:GF4 TI 4600 - 100Radeon 9700 - 123UT 2003 !!!:GF4 TI 4600 - 100Radeon 9700 - 198The god dam thing has a 256MB (DDR) memory output, man this card is impressive
DJ_VuDuu Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 Drools..... Why didn't I wait for this one! damnit... I suppose my 8500 will still last me a while...
zipp51 Posted August 5, 2002 Posted August 5, 2002 You can buy a 8500 64 MB for around $92.00 and the 8500 128MB for $229.00 and a GeForce 4200 64MB for $200.The prices are falling and theres gonna be some good choices out there for cheap.That 9700 is impressive though,and I would like to see their demo mpg.
Guest Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 Yep...I am going to buy the Radeon 9700 Pro Card, along with the 2.8 Alienware will be buildin' me.. I have done my homework...This card 0wnS!
