Radeon 9500 3DMARK Comparison Bench

Sorry, but this is a repost.

What's also of note in that article are the predicted specs of NV30:


Der NV30-Chip (Codename) wird GeForce5 heißen.

Der Chip besitzt insgesamt 120 Millionen Transistoren- im Vergleich: ATIs Radeon 9700 Pro kommt auf 106 Millionen.

NV30 wird im 0,13-Mikron-Prozeß hergestellt.

Der Chiptakt beträgt zwischen 350 MHz und 400 MHz.

Der effektive Speichertakt wird etwa 700 MHz (2 x 350 MHz) betragen.

NV30-Grafikkarten werden AGP-8x-fähig sein.

Der Chip besitzt insgesamt 8 Rendering-Pipelines, mit jeweils zwei Textureinheiten pro Datenkanal.

NV30 ist DirectX-9-kompatibel.

Maximal werden 256 Megabyte DDR-RAM-Speicher auf NV30-Boards verbaut werden.

Die Speicheranbindung ist 256 Bit breit.

That translates to,

The codenamed NV30 will be called GeForce5
It will have 120 million transistors compared to the Radeon 9700's 106 million
nVidia will use the .13mu process
The core clock will run between 350-400Mhz
The memory clock will be 2x the core clock, around 700Mhz
NV30 will use AGP 8x
It will have 8 rendering pipelines with 2 texture units per pipe
NV30 will be DX9 compliant
A max of 256MB of RAM can be used on the board
It will use a 256-bit memory pipeline (compared to 128 we've seen in other predictions)

RV350 will quickly take care of that.

You just might have to learn to like them with the jump they have. They demoed a 9700 with DDR2 last night on The Screensavers.
 
radeon to use ddr2 nice
nvidia is trying to get back the crown
hmmm competition i love the new advances when two competitors
try so hard to bring us the best that gaming has to offer😉

The Radeon 9500 looks like a good alternative to the GeForce4 Ti4600. The performance seems to be competitive. Of course, more benchmarks are required to provide a truly good comparison between the two.

I'll ask you the same question: what makes ATi so evil and nVidia so great? Ever bought an ATi card?

Well there was the ATi Rage Fury! That made me swithc to nvidia, but now I am a proud owner of an ATI 8500. Paid under $100 for it and its an excellent card + ATI is quick to update drivers now. Just can't convince some people, but who cares. As long as there is good competition it benefits everyone.

 
I never said ATI was evil. I will admit that I am a Nvidia fan boy but I am happy so 😛

I bought a Radeon 8500 LE from newegg last Jan. and for a month I worked on trying to get my system stable. Windows would crash and I tried every driver that I could at that time. Finally I just RMA the card back to newegg with a 15% restocking fee and bought a Geforce3 . Installed it and everything ran fine, no system crashes. A good upgrade from a Kyro 2 :

And I know that I should give ATI another chance, as I know their drivers have improved a lot but I have seen numerous posts about 9700 problems but that really doesn't matter. It really only matters if the card will run stable in my PC. But to me, I feel more safe buying a Nvidia card that has proven to have great Driver support and good enough performance.

As long as there is good competition it benefits everyone.

ATI may have OK drivers in some areas but they certainly don't care about others. click here They won't get my money until they care about all areas evenly. Their drivers are getting better in the 3d arena because they have to. In other areas like the one linked to they just don't care about the customer because they don't HAVE to. It's that attitude that will keep me away from them permanently.

Actually there might be some compatible issue with the motherboard, i got 2 brand new Radeon 8500LE months ago and for some reason they just don't work properly with the Gigabyte motherboard (KT266A) i had, keep getting lock up in games and 3dmark 2001se. Put the cards in a MSI KT3 ultra and Abit KR7 and they both work fine on these 2 board. I'm not saying that's solely the fault of Gigabyte, but sometime it might be some other issue that cause the instability.
 
glad to see another value-performance card hit the market! I dont care who makes it. but it looks like a great update for my G3 Ti200. the only question for me is, wether or not a stock ATI 9500 will have as good or better image quality then my Leadtek Geforce 3Ti, I've read in several places that aside from the matrox parhelliea and the 9700, that leadteks 2d has got everyone beat. (at least on the card I own.) I never used to think that 2d was THAT important. but ever since I used ELSA hardware at work and bought this card at home I cant stand anything else...
