ATI Radeon sdr pci comming soon!!!

[romtech]

what do you think of a pci sdr card will it be really crippled under the pci bus or should it perform ok!!!!!

Being that its PCI, it shouldnt really affect performance much I'd think. Theres not a noticable difference in speed between AGP and PCI. So the PCI SDR card should perform about the same as the AGP SDR card

i dont know about that caz i have seen reviewes of mx based pci cards and thay do loose out about 10% compaired to agp... but i dont know if the radeon chip is effected as much using the pci bus, if not then the sdr pci will be the best option for us less fortunate people with fast PIII 800 with crappy 810 mobo that dont support agp.... and btw has anybody come accross a review of the pci card with fps in quake3

A T&L equipped board such as the Radeon will be crippled on a PCI bus. Get the AGP version if you can.
