Ati Radeon 9500 PRO. Érdemes -e?

Nem akarok kötözködni, de az "able to compete with..." az annyit tesz: képes felvenni a versenyt, nem pedig jobb (persze ott vannak a DX9-es feature-ök, de azok még messze vannak).
Meg aztán: "Under normal circumstances it is slower than a GeForce 4 Ti 4600"
Magáért beszél.

Ha jó emberekkel rossz dolgok történnek, az a sors műve. Ha rossz emberekkel történnek rossz dolgok, az Jack Bauer műve.

"At a selling price expected to be around $199 US, there is no doubt that the Radeon 9500 PRO is an attractive product, although it can't come close to delivering the performance of the Radeon 9700. Under normal circumstances it is slower than a GeForce 4 Ti 4600. However, it is an ideal card for anyone looking for good performance with anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing. "

Próbálnak ködösíteni, de a tények makacs dolgok.

Az Anandtech már világosabban fogalmaz:

"ATI is very concerned about making sure the Radeon 9500 Pro is a success, as it targets a much larger volume price point. Thanks to an improved driver, new board design with an optimized layout and a full 128MB of memory the card is able to compete with the GeForce4 Ti 4600 instead of being just barely faster than the Ti 4200."
