ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: Card is fast and plays the newest games flawlessly

Weakness: none

Once I got this card up and running with the newest drivers and such it has preformed better than any other video card I owned. I am playing games on the highest settings that my monitor can take and it never gets slow downs. Outstanding video card and a wonderful product.

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: It sounds like it has many features

Weakness: won't run hardware acceleration with top of the line computers. ATI could not fix problem even after RECALL of product.

The hardware acceleration would not work, it produced a checker boarded image on Swat3 and Warcraft3 across the whole screen. The company I bought this computer from said ATI recalled the product and had the card rebuilt with a chip added to fix the flaw. Upon re-installing the card it did not fix the problem. The computer company tried the 9700 pro on several other computers with different...

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: Very fast. Easy to install.

Weakness: None so far.

Solved all the problems we were having when trying to play games and edit video. My processor sucks, but I can still play any game I've put in. I also can finally watch DVD's with no problem at all. Worth the money.

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: Kick But video card, still the king of 3D Almost same perfomance as Geforce 5(fx) Very Quiet unlike Geforce FX ( loud vacume cleaner noise)

Weakness: none

The 9700 Pro is the best out right now... I think everyone's expectations of the FX were a little too high. I think the 9700 Pro still tops the charts. Hey Extreme Gaming. the new card is out for testing, it's not out to the public, get over it... you suck. Oh and uh, grab a pc magazine, try reading it! Wichboy, you have no idea what you're talking about, and whoever said to save your money...

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: the fastest, most 3D-realistic card yet! Radeon 9700 Pro is truly the best!

Weakness: definitley NONE

this ATI card is a must-have for any system. I run an Asus A7V266-E motherboard, an Athlon XP(Thoroughbred B)2400+, 768MB PC2100 DDR-RAM, and a 80GB HD; and it runs fantastic(understatement). This video card is a must-have for any serious gamer.

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: The BEST video card available bar-none! I run ALL my games (and I have over 30 new top end games) over 60fps with 1600x1200 6x fsaa, 8x ansiotropic filter!!!! Get a Gforce to do that!!!!

Weakness: Only a Nvidia zealot would tell you it was better!

Don't listen to the other morons that can't tell a car from a truck. I used a detonator remover program I downloaded from guru3d.com, installed DX9, and then my catalyst 3.0 drivers... Oh, that took an expert! (sarcasm). Card works amazing! I am running an AMD 2800+, 1gig Corsair PC3200, Asus A7N8X, and 120 WD SE HD. Take some good advice, ATi has turned aroung! Drivers are rock solid, and only...

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: Great card, Very stable, Performance over the top, ATI has taken the lead with this one!!

Weakness: NONE!!!!

I have just built a new system with an Asus A7N8X Deluxe MOBO and a Thoroughbred-B Athlon XP 2400, 512 DDR Memory with all the whistles and bells and the 9700 pro is just icing on the cake. Installation was very easy, not one problem also upgraded to DirectX 9 and also installed the latest 3.0 Catalyst drivers from ATI, anyone who reads this I recommend you do the same, "WOW" what a difference...

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: Probably a fast card but I don't know

Weakness: Installation can be very very difficult

Puting the card in the machine was no problem, but trying to uninstall the old nvidia drivers to install these was a nightmare. Also, this card had very unimpressive performance with nascar2002, the main game i got it for. my geforce 2 runs at 45 fps, with same settings the radeon ran at 15, which is hardly acceptable. On the plus side, 3dmark scores were over 11,000. By the way it was installed...

ATI RADEON 9700 PRO Graphics Card

Strengths: Everything and more, could not ask for a better card.

Weakness: ....?

Everything about the 9700 is great. It's called the "Geforce killer" for a reason. With DirectX 9 almost out, you can't go wrong. It's worth the money, if you can afford it, and it will be at full optimization with a high-end system. I can't complain about anything with this card, by far ATI's best performance yet. A note to those who are Computer-morons who claim to know how to install...
