Notably missing from the chart are the over priced "architecture/drafting" type gpu... the ati Fire and nvidia Quatro and 3dlab Wildcats. It would be interesting to see how those $2000 and $4000 models compare to the $400 and $500 high-end "gaming" gpu.

i thought it's Quadro. anyway the word Comparison is rather misleading.

i thought it was a chart with benches showing the differences ablablablablbalbal.

yet in a way, comparison is also the correct word to use. maybe should put Specifications Comparison or something.

max_87.. just wondering bout the memory specs for 9600XT ..

is 200mhz its original specs ?.. coz i see most 9600xt running 300mhz ..

Chai · 5th Apr 2004, 04:18 PM

Radeon 9600 Pro
AIW Radeon 9600 Pro
Radeon 9600XT

These 3 should run at 300MHz for memory clock speed. I will tell Adrian about the mistakes.

Adrian Wong · 5th Apr 2004, 07:12 PM

Thanks for letting us know about the mistakes!

I have already corrected them. Will post the updated guide together with new updates from Max_87.

As for the name change, well, I will try to do that when it is possible. It's not so easy as we have to edit the database to do that.

i've seen some Radeon 9600 Pro running at 200mhz. however i suspect it's just a Radeon 9600. don't know why the box sez Pro. naming deception maybe......

and about the FX5700. i'm wondering.......the one i'm using runs at 425/550 (which is 275mhz for the memory). so is the one i'm using running off-spec?
