Ati Radeon 9700PRO ! just bought .. inside
 

the box were opened when i went to my computer agency to buy it

wanna be sure if it is 9700 or 9700pro

i am just curious , do you know how to check ? my system says "radeon 9700" as the name of the card
should it say "radeon9700 pro" ??

one more question

1280x768 > Unreal tournament 2003
it works normal but sometimes it is becoming slow

normal for this card or my ram is not enough ?

my system : p4 2.0 + 256mb ddr ram with 266mhz

1 more problem , i could not run need for speed hot pursuit 2 with this card , anyone knows why ?

my system is xp pro and nvidia drivers are still installed on my comp , but hotpursuit2 works with my old ge forge card


please leave your comments

thanks

you need more memory

tomorrow it will be 512mb ddr with 333mhz

should i buy more ? like 1024mb

format c:

fuck that take it back and get a Gforce !

there is a huge difference between 256 and 512 ram

and there is some between 512 and 1024, but not too much

Yeah.. really.. processors dont mean a fucking thing.

Upgrading from 1k mhz to 2kmhz does
nothing to your performance compared to (for example)
doubling your memory..

Memory is king.

:thumbsup

i have geforce 4 Ti 4200 128mb with amd xp 2000+ and 512 ram...

unreal turnament and need for speed 2 both work smooth on max resolutions... fifa2k runs smooth on 1600X resolution too...

so go exchange for geforce ;)

geforce blows compared to the radeon 9700 pro, where have you been :)

the 9700 runs perfect in unreal t 2003

i have 2.53ghz, 1024 gb ddr , radeon 9700

I have 512 but hardly ever use all of it

that is you that i was looking for

can we speak on icq please ?
icq # 2044000

cant agree more.

Gforce > *

I have a geforce, but numbers dont lie.

The ATI RADEON 9700 PRO is Speed King!

and is that can be the problem ;

running nvidia drivers and ati drivers at the same time , nvidia detanator last drivers are still installed

?

I noticed that too.... I trimmed back my machines to 512

"Under its own label, ATI will only bring PRO versions to the market. The non-PRO models will be left to its graphics card partners, who will bring both PRO and non-PRO versions to the market. "


So if its an actual ATI, its a PRO

if its 3rd party, you still dont know...

i have this speed king but still wanna sure if my card is 9700 or 9700 pro

i curious because i bought 9700 pro and paid for it

the box were opened so maybe the gave me 9700 instead of 9700 pro :Graucho :( ?

so if anyone have 9700 please contact with me

i bought them from 3rd party who is partner of ATI

http://mirror.ati.com/support/partner/list.html

they are located in that list "Super Grace Electronics Ltd."

my box is the same , the only problem that it was opened.
and in the windows system it is named as "radeon9700" only i can see that. "pro" word is nowhere

does 9700 look like that ?

Is the actual card an ATI or is it a third party board with an ATI chip on it?

if its an actual ATI board, than its a PRO, that's what my quote explained.

ANYbody who builds their own systems will tell you differently ...
What an ignorant comment that was !!!

ATI is the BEST card on the market ... without getting into intense $6000 studio cards ...

I currently have the ATI Radeon 8500 (128MB dual head version) connected to two 19" pro monitors .... and it KICKS ASS !!! I have had almost every high end domestic card known to man, and I will take an ATI any fukkin day !!!!

Sounds like you need a bit more memory dude ... P4's run best with a minimum of 512 MB anyways ... that should be plenty ... unless you are like me and have 15+ applications running concurrently :( then maybe go for 768 or 1024 ....)

rule of thumb when building a box is spend the majority of your money on memory and processor power ... buy as much of each as fits your budget ...
