The Radeon SDR, Radeon DDR, Radeon VE, and Radeon LE are all R100, too.

I really appreciate you guys help, providing those specs

The next update will be a little bit late

i'm currently working on two articles

I'd like to see some 3DFX specs.

Also, it may be worth mentioning there are many (ATi made and Sapphire) 9800 Pro 256mb that are actually XT PCB, cores and RAM just flashed with a Pro BIOS. I have one and can confirm the core is a RV360 and the RAM serial #, PCB orientation and PCB serial # are all XT.

Well, whether they are XT boards or not, they are still 9800 Pro clocked at 9800 Pro speed. Nothing worth mentioning. They perform just like the old R9800 Pro.

Respectfully, I disagree. It is worth mentioning, even if only in this thread. If the purpose of this article is to list the hardware and specs of each model then you should do just that. If a 9800 Pro can be had with a 350 and 360 core it should be noted. The RAM on the XT and "special" Pro is completely different type of GDDR than the "normal" Pro. Both of these can and do have importance. Plus, different hardware is simply different hardware.

Also they do not perform "just" like the regular Pro. The Pros built off the XT parts OC higher and run at different temps (even at stock clock). Obviously due to the core and RAM differences.

I'm not saying it has to end up in the article, but it at least is worth mentioning in the discussion here. It doesn't hurt anything.

Missing from cards are the newer matrox cards like the Matrox Parhelia Series, Millennium P-Series and Millennium G-Series.

Think it would be interesting/useful to add a watt-column to this article with the amount of power the different GPU's uses. Both when "idle"(2D) and when under "load"(3D).

Is it relevant for this article ? (Know it requires some digging around to find this information )
