ATI Radeon 9700 Tomorrow

94
Well it looks like all the rumors about the next-gen ATI videocard are set to be confirmed or dispelled quite soon. The ATI Radeon 9700 is set to be launched tomorrow. There has been buzz within the industry among developers and other 'professionals' that this will be ATI's biggest shot in quite a while. Have a look see:

the new chips will offer considerably higher performance than Nvidia's current GeForce4 roster, giving ATI the edge with gamers as well as PC makers, analysts said. And even after Nvidia comes out with its GeForce 5 in a few months, the competition between the two will remain close.

This would be the card that DOOM3 was shown on at E3 btw.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
