You won't be dissapointed at all, even the doom 3 alpha runs good.

whats the power cooler 9700pro? is that replica of the real thing? i need part #s for the radeon9700pro

[amp_man]

I'm sorry, you mean what does the vpu cooler look like? Sorry, but it normally isn't much of one, you'd be best off to replace it.

[Mavrick]

why did they discontinue the 9700pro? if it's so great of a card?

[amp_man]

I don't think they discontinued it, they just moved advertising to the 9800 and 9600. 9700 is almost as good as a 9800, 9700 pro vs. 9800 np would probably put the pro ahead. But if you don't believe that it's a good card, just look at the benchmarks!

They discontinued it because it got old...it came out to compete with the Geforce 4 Ti 4600...and tehn when the nv30, aka Geforce FX 5800 Ultra came out, it killed that too...they discontinued it once they refreshed the R300 core and brouht out the R350...it's still a very good card...

[Mavrick]

well i orderd it! the ATI Radeon 9700Pro i hope it was a good choice over the G force 4 5700 ultra, i heard great reviews about it saying i wounldnt be disapointed. they say the frame rates were better too and i'll be able to run the highest resolutions compared to the Gforce4 5700 ultra.
what do u think?

I think that today I loaded up a bunch of my games playing my brother over the LAN, I run most games at 1280x960 with everything maxed, and I played for about an hour and then I thought to myself, damn, this game looks really good today.  Just that, not that it was running worse, not anything else but the fact that it looked great.  Then I realized that I still had 6x AA and 16X AF on from when I was showing my brother some tech demos.  Now we weren't playing anything brand new because his computer has my old Kyro II in it, just like Warcraft III, some Halo demo, and a little of the Chaser Demo, but I didn't notice any slow down.  That impressed me and I've had the card for a while now.
