ATi GOT A NAME FOR R360!

[FallOutBoyTonto]

<A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11324" target="_new">It will be called Radeon 9800XT</A>

<i>Written by The Inquirer</i>
<b>ATI had two names for this technology from the beginning. One was Radeon 9900 PRO the only step left for this generation of cards, and the other the Radeon 9800XT. . . From the very beginning, ATI decided to name the re-spin of the chip based on its performance. So it didn't feel it could call it the Radeon 9900 PRO if it wasn't acting as one. . . The Radeon 9800XT will end up at 425MHz+ for the chip and 700MHz for memory and there are likely to be DDR I and DDR II cards, it appears</b>

I've heard that the 9600 on-pro and pro models are beating their 9500 partners in both internet gaming and on DX9 games.

maby a 9000 SE?

Why choose the name "XT"? "XT" is the name of an Intel chip that was made more tha 15 years ago.

You win a marvelous reply from me!

[TheRod]

Probably for eXTreme.

I think we will start to see some confusion in ATI naming scheme... Do this NON PRO X card beat this Y PRO one? And how about the XT Z that have performance between the bla bla PRO and thingy NON PRO...

When will the "x-treme" marketing scheme R.I.P.? It's now old and lame. Surely someone can oome up with a more creative name than relying on the olde "x-treme scheme"

[pIII_Man]

what chip might that be?

To my knowledge intel did not make a chip called the XT...

However ibm did make a computer called the XT...but it used the intel/amd (also made by other companies) 8088 cpu and 8087 co-pro...

someone else has the <A HREF="http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=xtreme_bullshit" target="_new"> same </A> idea as you do.

 

[Crashman]

XT sounds kind of like SE, gamers with little hardware knowledge will buy the SE thinking they've gotten a steal on an XT, see how sucky the card is, and never buy another ATI product again. Yes, that's how bad confusing names are.

[GeneticWeapon]

9500Pro = DX9 also
slightly faster then 9600Pro.
believe what you want.

I help because you suck.

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

But the R9500Pro is obviously an inferior build.IT spontaneously combusts when overclocked.

Or maybe it's the user. He just burst into Flames, I don't know WTF Happened!

[daddywags214]

Either way ATi wins because the 9600 Pro is a better build that costs less TO build.

<b>nVidia cheated on me so I left her for ATi. ATi's hotter anyway...</b>

 

[mrface]

youre right it does have dx9 also.....

[phial]

the 9600pro isnt better, because it has half the vertex and pixel shaders



its a full blown 9700, with 128bit memory




like GW said, believe what you want
