ATI Launches Radeon 9800
ATI has unveiled their latest Radeon videocards today, improving on the successful Radeon 9700 Pro. The high end Radeon 9800 and Radeon 9800 Pro videocards will start shipping this month, Radeon 9600 (Pro) videocards by mid-April and for people with a more limited budget the Radeon 9200 (Pro) cards which will ship in April as well. Reviews of the Radeon 9800 Pro card can be found at HardOCP, AnandTech, Tech Report, Beyond 3D, Hexus and UK Gamer. Here's part of Anand's conclusion
More than just a higher clocked Radeon 9700, the Radeon 9800 Pro doesn't cease to impress because of the minor but potent improvements ATI made to the R350 core. Definitely a pleasant surprise, ATI has produced a worthy interim successor to the Radeon 9700 Pro. If you want the best out today, look no further than the Radeon 9800 Pro; it's quiet, faster, occupies a single slot, and will enjoy much wider availability than the GeForce FX.
