ITS UP!

it definitely isnt acting memory starved by the 128 bit unlike the rad 9600 xt was, must be some more effective compression across the memory controller, and this is certainly a must get if you have a Rad 9600/GF FX 5700 or less. Then again, wait for X700, the ensuing price war and watch them...

nVidia designations and ethics

I say ban 64 bit cards that still get called fx 5200 or so with nothing like '64 bit edition' or SE to _tell_ something was clucked down. same goes to the 9200's (8400 you mean) and GF4 Ti 4800 (actually just a 4200 with AGP 8x) or our fave... GF 2.5 MX (4)

Geforce 6800 vs. Radeon 9800 Pro

but... thats super idiotic settings. not everyone has 4 bajillion Ghz PCs and 58" monitors. dont forget, youre CPU tied with the 6800's until AMD 64 3000+/P4 3.2 so it wouldnt matter with a 9800 or 6800 until you hit such high resolutions in most games (unless its doom 3 or far cry). I myself...

FutureMark & Nvidia joint statement on 3DMark03; FutureMark tucks its tail between its legs.

9800 pro running slow compared to AT Benches

check AGP speed settings and the actual cards core and memory speed. SmartGART is in the ATi Control panel, but only if you d/led the ATi control panel along with the 3.4 drivers

Power Color branded Radeons, any good?

Actually all the PowerColor boxes say 'powered by ATi' NOT 'Built By ATi' like the others plus most of them come with 350Mhz RANDAC instead of 400Mhz and even most come with one instead of the Dual RAMDACS that everyone else have...

Power Color branded Radeons, any good?

Powercolor are a weak make. Every Powercolor Radeon I've ever come up against has had the rolling line problem towards the bottom of the screen in 2D and blurry 2D quality at refreshes above 75Hz on any monitor at any resolution. Also most come generally underclocked by roughly 10% - 15% from...

Basic Games - R 9100 or TI4200?

for professional work, nothing can touch the Radeons above 9500. So a 9500 non Pro would be good plus if you get into games more in the future, its gonna be faster at newer games than the other cards you listed. The GeForce 4 Ti4200 is a decent 3D Card and good for professional work, but is...
