Yay! Finally, they said it would come at 12:00, but their late. Oh well it will probably be a good article. I'll come right back to comment on it. I wonder what took Anand so long ot get his up in comparison to the others. I guess I'm about to find out.

Hey, GW, wanna trade cards?

Surprised that the GF4 beats the R9600P (yes I know it's DX8 vs 9). It's amazing how well it does compared to the FX5900U. Seriously the GF4ti's are looking to be a really great investment for those who chose that route over the FX5200/5600s.

I'm sure you're kinda happy. Not bad.

I'm also surprised at the R9200 (slower than your old R8500LE IIRC) beating the FX5600.

Also note that sometimes the R9600P beats the R9700P (see THAT Eden? :tongue: ) I'd like to see the R9500P v. R9600P.

I would love to now see a review that put the R9000P v R9100 v R9200 v FX5200. I think that would cover that segment pretty well (also add the GF4MX I guess).

Good read, a little bit of repeat of the Tech Report article and a bit of new stuff. I'd like to just see those DET 50s and also see the A64, and also a 3200XP vs P4 3.06 vs P4 3.0 (200/800FSB).


Nice start, Thanks GW!


EDIT: And I like Anand's final words (final sentence). Like I said I think this will push the NV40 to market alot faster than previously thought/expected/planned. And that may be a good thing for us all (if it's a finsihed product). And THAT may push the R420 and RV380 to market sooner too (one can only hope on all counts). Yes indeed things sure are heating up!

LOLOL


glad your have yout GF4TI now GW? looks like an 8500LE @ 300/300 would run better (due to the fact that the 9200 with only one shader and vertex engine, compaed to the 8500s 2 shaders), AND looks better (PS1.4) than a TI4600


ive said it before, that ATI had their [-peep-] together ever sinse the first Radeon, and that i prefer teh 8500 to teh GF4TI and this just proves me right ^_^

YES. me too. i was going to make a post about the 9500pro also


the reason is altho the 9600pro has *updated* pixel shader engines as teh review said, it only has 2 pipelines while the 9500pro has 4~~. same can be said about the vertex pipelines


i have a feeling that a 9500pro and 9700pro woudl be almost identicle, because fillrate (the ONLY difference between the 9700pro and 9500pro, and clock speeds) doenst seem to have much of an impact at all, especially at higher resolutions which is the opposite of what we used to see with previous games

I'll have a much better framerate on my Ti4200 cards (DX8 mode0, than a Geforce FX 5600 will have at DX9 mode.

Also, are the scenes that are benched some of the most video intesive scenes at their disposal? I'm kind of hoping so, because I'm not sure my Ti 4200 can do even 30 FPS on a 1.5 GHz Procesor
