| shadow_x99's Full Review: ATI RADEON 9500 PRO, (128 MB) AGP Video Card |
Although Hardcore Gamer will tell you that the Higher Model like 9700 / 9800 are good, you can't miss the mark when you buy a 9500 Pro 128 MB.
A Fully DX9 Capable Card, able to play all DX9 Games with Great Graphics, with more than acceptable performance ( Over 40FPS, your eyes do not see it anyway )
Why pay 500$ US for a Card like a 9800 when you can play for about 150$ ( What I bought mine ), have a Warranty of 3 Year on it, and be most assured that it will perform in today's games and tomorrow's Game ( AKA Half-Life 2, Doom 3 )
Along with the new Catalyst Driver Suite, then you can really say that the Radeons are getting faster, getting better support.
Plus, if you are a Geek like me and want to run it on Linux, Official Driver Support is offered for Xfree86 !! Meaning, that you can use it on a Linux Distro, a BSD OS, and most others.
All you need is a good Air FLow in the System and you are ready to PLAY !
