ATI Radeon 9500Pro in M'sia

Needhelp · 22nd Dec 2002, 02:30 PM

Is there any shop selling this card ?
I saw it last time in Pc fair , Mtec-comp selling it less than RM800.

The last time i went to Low Yat, only Compuzone got stock I think. Other's are not taking in any more stock till after new year.

BTW, it should be around RM800 or more. But after new year, there should be new pricing for the new stocks.

If I remember correctly, it was a 9500 non-Pro version, at that insane price. In US, Radeon 9500 Pro is only around RM600!

powercolor Ati 9500 is only at Rm800/Rm790 at lowyatt
but no Pro version.I think our comp vendor are sick selling no ATi radeon 9700 at the same price as 9700 pro.

seriously..how is the catalyst driver doing ar? Is it really that good??Anyone experienced it before?

ATI drivers are alot better than it used to. IMO, nVidia drivers are having more trouble now.

Nvidia's driver's are tweaked for speed and image quality is REALLY bad... you'll have to really tweak it back to get a good image quality.

Either that or you can get those Omega Drivers. Custom tweaked for sharper image quality, with a little speed sacrifices but IMHO, well worth it.

As for ATI, last time yes.. really lousy support. But I've heard they've improved a lot already.
