ATI Announce 3 New Cards

ATI seem to be enjoying their stay at the top of graphics performance and have just released three new products which will attempt to cover the whole of the desktop market.
It's already been three months since ATI stunned the graphics world with the release of the 9700 Pro. The card managed to combine high-end performance with, good driver support. The latter had been ATI's achilles heel in the past.

ATI will attempt to maintain the same level of success with the three new products which are targeted at the Enthusiast, Performance Mainstream and Mainstream markets. The new boards are the 9800/Pro, based on the codenamed R350, the 9600/Pro, based on the codenamed RV350 VPU and the 9200/Pro, based on the codenamed RV280 VPU.

Last year we took the performance crown in the high-end. This year we deliver performance to the whole market, said Rick Bergman, Senior Vice President, Marketing and General Manager, Desktop, ATI Technologies Inc. By rapidly driving our high-end technologies into the mainstream, we bring a compelling game experience to users across the board. Delivering three extremely sophisticated visual processors at once underlines the strength of our engineering teams and our ability to execute.

Gateway, Fujitsu Siemens and NEC are all announcing systems powered by the new RADEON boards. Gateway has chosen the RADEON 9800 PRO as the graphics powerhouse in their new 700XL system, which will be available soon. Fujitsu Siemens has selected the RADEON 9200, RADEON 9600 and RADEON 9800 products for its Scaleo PCs and NEC has chosen RADEON 9200 products for its Packard Bell range and the RADEON 9800 PRO for the NEC iSelect.
All the major gaming-focused system integrators have also chosen the new RADEON products. ABS Computers, Alienware Corp., CyberPower, Falcon Northwest, iBuyPower, MDG, and Voodoo PC will include RADEON 9800, RADEON 9600 and RADEON 9200 products in their current and upcoming systems.

ATI and its board partners, which include Connect3D, FIC, Gigabyte, Hercules, Hightech, PowerColor, Sapphire, Tyan, Visiontek, Wistron and YUAN, will announce and ship products based on RADEON 9800, RADEON 9600 and RADEON 9200 technologies starting this month.

RADEON 9800

Targeting the ultra-high-end/enthusiast segment, the RADEON 9800 products deliver unequaled performance, features, image quality and stability, which are the key criteria for hardcore gamers everywhere. A 256-bit memory interface and eight powerful pixel pipelines provide the brute force and finesse to deliver real-time, Hollywood-caliber graphics - even for the most demanding next-generation games - and sets it apart from anything on the market. Programmable shader engines, full speed, full floating-point precision and support for the latest Microsoft DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL feature sets ensure games look great even at breakneck speeds. RADEON 9800 products illustrate an important point - you don't have to sacrifice performance for image quality.

RADEON 9600

Delivering the best product in the enthusiast segment is also crucial to winning mind share in the performance and mainstream segments, which represent large portions of the graphics hardware market. The RADEON 9600 series brings cinematic realism and unprecedented power to the performance segment, where customers are looking for the most advanced features and performance, at a more affordable price. Driven by its full floating point architecture featuring quad pixel pipes and dual vertex engines, the RADEON 9600 series of visual processors deliver amazing performance, full support for the latest Microsoft DirectX 9.0 and OpenGL feature sets and advanced anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering technologies. The first of ATI's products to be developed using an advanced 130 nanometer production process, the RADEON 9600 products offer an excellent entertainment value.

RADEON 9200

Powered by an advanced quad-pipe rendering architecture, the RADEON 9200 series delivers a dazzling visual experience with the highest performance in its class. With a full suite of performance and image quality-enhancing technologies including full support for the AGP 8X and Microsoft DirectX 8.1 standards, and streaming video de-blocking capabilities, features unique in this segment, RADEON 9200-based products deliver sharp, clear graphics and video imagery. RADEON 9200 products offer an unbeatable value, with prices right for the most price-conscious consumer.

CATALYST

All of ATI's products, including these newest additions, are supported by CATALYST, ATI's unified suite of software. CATALYST includes the only DirectX 9 driver that is Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certified, a key criterion for OEMs and corporate customers.

given myself a nick just incase i get confused with that Nazi idiot below. As i said earlier it is about oil and saudi problem. Getting rid of a dictator...come on now, the west, and i include Britian (my county) supports many dictators to their shame. There are plenty of examples of totalitarian regimes it suits the US and Britain to support and we have always done so...Saudi is no democracy, nor is most of Arab world and what about the US support for Latin american regimes during 80's. This is high politics and the load mouth spouting about OPEC has at least got the reason right. The trouble at the moment is that people with extremist views like his have got into power in the worlds only superpower and that is frightening. Bush's bill to authorise the development of small nukes that can be used in combat makes me and i suspect most of the world more afraid of him than the likes of Saddam who lets face it is no threat to anybody.By the way Nvidea are in danger of going 3dfx way if they don't get their act together and ATI and Nintendo...wow what a prospect...and finally anyone that says "it rocks" needs a frontal lobotomy

STFU YOU BUNCH OF RACIST c**tS, PUT ALL UR ASSES IN A f**kING BLENDER AND SHRED YOU INTO A THICK RED SLUSH, THEN ILL f**kING DRINK IT ALL UP!Enough about this "i hate ur country blah, blah , blah" shit, bottom line all of you are too pussy to make any real changes for ultimate good. THIS MEANS NO INOCENTS HAVE TO DIE!Plus stop referering to GOD OR ALLAH dilutional f**ks, they dont exist. It's funny how people think that God saved them or vindicate them in thier victory of MASS MURDER! You are all f**king f**ked in the head, your Dod never wanted DEATH! Hence you are not worthy to follow your religion.Also, what about Robert Mugabe? The president of Zimbabwe? Why dont the people kill that twisted little f**k! You know why? They fear him, like people would fear for them selves if they killed Bush.Bottom line, the spiteful hate that you project, it makes you unworthy to even be alive. People like yourself should just commit suicide and it would save allot of trouble.

Dont forget to mention that millions of innocent were killed during the 1980s in which the US installed and removed dictators in latin american countries. Though one wouldn't like to say it, but if you look at the past, the US does have a history of genocide. Now another dictator in the Middle East is to be removed by the US. Something must be done to protect the innocent civilian casualties that are inetivible when going to war.

American are really fockup. They are in state of fear. Fearing the terrorist might strike them. Who can blame them. U.S. is the No.1 enemy in the terrorist world.There is no going back. You can remind the history about how U.S. save millions innocent lives. It won't change the attitude for alot of foreign country. Most of the foreign citizen have little or no educations. They were born to hate because they lived in proverty environment. They blame U.S. for every problem. Attacking Iraq only sprung hatred to muslim community. Don't you think U.S. care about that? If U.S. cares for the world, they should disarm long time ago. Instead they insist to be the world best. Now they have to pay the price.

Haji. We don't care about your issues. Leave this forum. This is a gaming and hardware site. No one cares about your politcal views. If you hate America that much. Then join the Iraqi army and fight them. But leave your biased opinions out of Mega Games.

>"I was once a proud ATI customer, then they kill the support for Rage pro card."Ok, how old is the ancient rage pro? What support? It won't do you any good any more.>"They care about making useless card which doesn't last long."Ok, how about they've had the best card for the last 6 months and it's still the best widely available card. How the hell is that useless?

Man, Haji? Shin Lori? So where on the geographical map of this oversaturated human deseised ball of shit do you live?And not on this "Haji lives in God's green world. He lives in the country where Muslims live. He was born a muslim and he will die as a martyr." 'cause thats bull shit where ever you are.You could live like a God in a big house full of 1000 hot virgins, blah, blah, blah then slip and fall in the bathing area shattering your skull.

My @ss Dequosaek. Why do you think ATI wants to release 9200 & 9600 for? What about other card like 8700 & 8900? Don't you think they are killing support for the older card & force you to get a newer card? So why bother releasing newer card when they can make drivers to optimize the older card?

ATI Announce 3 New Cards

Everyone. HAJI, Shin Lori and all the other names this "person" uses is doing this as a joke to change the forums topic and get everyone distracted. WHEN THIS FOOL POSTS SOMETHING, DO NOT RESPOND. This is obviously some 12 year old kid with too much time on his hands. Look how poorly he is trying to show that he is foriegn in his posting..."YOU HAVE NOTHING. YOU HAVE NO MORAL VALUE. YOU BEATUP WIVES...."This child is doing this as a joke to wreck this forum. Everyone do not respond to him anymore or anyother Iraqi political responses. Lets keep it to gaming and hardware. This will really piss off the little child. IGNORING HIM.

why are some people like leaky pen so passionately pro Nvidea and anti ATI. Look if it wasn't for ATI then Nvidea wouldn't be trying to catch up and then ATI wouldn't be trying to get ahead and that would mean we would have inferior but much more expensive gfx cards. It is called competition and it has been fantastic for us gamers, just like the AMD/Intel war which has seen pcs reach specs we only used to dream of.I have the best card money can buy at the moment and it produces gorgeous graphics and no game I have lags at all at full spec. Now in 6 months time this card will be about half the price because ATI will be pushing 9800 and Nvidea the FX. But games will have hardly changed and so more and more will be able to see just how good the 9700 pro is. So you noobs that rant "ATI sucks" or other mindless comments, just thank ATI for the great work they are doing

ATI aren't doing a good job. I rather pay graphic card that last longer. Nvidia Geforce card last. ATI doesn't. ATI waste money on upgrade. Nvidia don't. All you ATI fanboy thinks ATI done a great job. WHAT ARE YOU STUPID? Do a little math. You'll find ATI is much more expensive than Nvidia.

WHERE IS THE PCI SUPPORT FOR ATI? THE LAST PCI CARD FOR ATI IS RADEON 7000. NVIDIA RELEASE GEFORCE 4 MX PCI WHICH IS VASTLY SUPERIOR THAN RADEON 7000. DO YOU THINK ATI CARE ABOUT WHAT USER THINKS ABOUT CARDS? HELL NO......RADEON 7000 FOR MOST CONSIDER A CRAPPY CARD. YES IT IS A CRAPPY CARD SINCE ATI STOP SUPPORTING IT. IF YOU THINK ATI SOLVES EVERY GRAPHIC CARD SOLUTION. THINK AGAIN.

anonymous what the hell are you on about? how long do you want a card to last for goodness sake........ 5 - 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe a lifetime? most people look for a year max for gfx card...okay longer if you are not a gamer but seen as you are on a games website i assume you are. I had a 8500 which was significantly faster than the gforce 3 500 TI. I upgraded not because it wasn't supported anymore..it is by the way..but because I wanted a 9700pro. The 8500 was and is a great card. As for Nvidea being cheaper...well the low end of market range MX maybe but the 9000 is much much superior to them. As for the 9800pro v FX...on performance the 9800pro is far better, runs cooler and is QUIET..unlike the FX, and will be much cheaper too. Stop being slavish to your card and don't worry, its not a sign of impotency you know not having the fastest card

Buddy, lose the cap-locks. We know it's the same moron who has been posting crap about Americans. You must be bored with life." TAKE MONEY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD TO CREATE YOUR F*CKUP GRAPHIC CARD." You need help. The kind that involves high caliber bullets to the head.For one. You need to learn english. And fast. ESL would be a asset to you. Two. It would not hurt to use a few periods here and there. Three. Shut up.PCI video cards???? Bloodyhell. How old is your motherboard? As old as Moses? How long can you keep a video card for? 3years? 5 years? What's the point if you have a PCI card that will not play current games?
