Radian 9500 Pro or not???

[tlucca]

Hi all

Im interested in buying a Radeon 9500 128 mb card, but Im a little confused. On pricewatch, some companies list the card as the radeon 9500 128 mb card, and others list it as the 9500 pro. Are these the same cards, or are there non-pro versions out there that have 128 mb of memory? Im a little confused since the companies that list the 9500 128 mb cards are like 20 bucks cheaper. Whats the difference?

thanks,
Tom

go for the pro version, it still has 8 pixel pipeline, the none pro only got 4.
i have also read it somwhere that it is possible to get the 9500pro that comes with 256bit ddr interface, so maybe you should try looking for one as well.

Buy the Radeon 9500 Pro. The non-Pro has 1/2 fillrate compared to the pro version. So spending $20 more worths 100%.
