ive decided to get a radeon 9700pro

[stryder2929]

I figured, it only costs about $80 more than the geforce4ti4600....

i have a preorder for mkeadly alliance sitting in my wallet worth $50 which i dont really want, im just going to return that

and the remaining $30 i can make in like 2 hours...

i think it'll be well worth getting that card, especially when doom3 comes out

When does Doom 3 come out?

 

[stryder2929]

I'm not sure, last i heard was before the end of this year...


anyway, can someone tell me if this RADEON 9700 PRO is the real thing and not oem..

and also is that one made by ati, i want to make sure i'm getting the right one, since the price is pretty low

 

[nardvark]

well it says "retail" and the picture of the box they have is stamped with "built by ati," so if it's not, then they have false advertising...
looks like the real thing to me.

Well it's certainly built by ATI and it has been my experience that OEM comes in a plain white box and an anti static bag, but I could be wrong. The box looks identical to the one my Retail 8500 came in, apart from the 9700 stuff of course LOL!

Doom3 is coming out next year... around summer/fall time I believe.
