ATI Launches Radeon 9800

Mar 06, 2003 9:21am CST tags: ATI
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.

New ATI Vidcard Within 30 Days

Feb 27, 2003 1:52pm CST tags: ATI
Well here it comes, ATI is about to step it up big with their next-gen R350 cards already set to roll. At a recent event the ATI Vice President of engineering stated that their next-gen cards will be coming out in the next 30 days.

The R350 chip will be the high-end successor to ATI's Radeon 9700 chip. A new version of that chip geared toward the mainstream market is also coming in the next 30 days, he said. That Radeon 9700 variant will be built using 130 nanometer technology, or .13 micron, which is a reference to the size of the feature sets on the chips. The .13 micron technology promises better speeds and lower costs than past

Rumor has it the R350 is like, fast and stuff. Dont buy that new vidcard just yet, something faster is coming! (Haha oh man that's funny every time)
