The Radeon X300: PCI Express on a budget

TechReport has posted a preview of ATI's PCI-E family which includes Radeon X800, X600, and X300 series graphics products:

Despite claims that its X800 architecture scales down to eight- and four-pipe designs, the low end of ATI's PCI Express Radeon X-series is dominated by last year's technology. Not that there's anything wrong with last year's technology, though. The X600 and X300's RV360 roots leverage a proven rendering pipeline, full 24 bits of pixel shader precision, and the most gorgeous antialiasing around.

Other than PCI Express support and a slight memory clock boost for the XT, the X600 line doesn't offer much over ATI's existing Radeon 9600 series products. However, the X300 is a significant improvement over ATI's previous value workhorse, the DirectX 8-class Radeon 9200 series. ATI expects the Radeon X300s to be twice as fast as the 9200s, which is a pretty significant leap when you add DirectX 9-class shaders to the equation

Ok. This thread is inevitably going to turn into an ATI/nVidia sux bitchfight... You all seem to hate me only because my username threatens you. So i may as well start things off. YAWN The X300's is going to be 2x faster than the 9200's??? WOW, that's not hard! :-)

threatens? screams out "IM A FUCKING NVIDIA FANBOI!" more likely. the mature people on the site buy the card fit for their tasks (be it nvidia or ati) while immature little shits argue over whos card gets more 3DMarks. grow up

"go to hell satan" now if I had a £1 for every time ive read that...same goes for sad little geeks arguing over gfx cards. oh dear

Buy your own FX5900. Sorry Satan. But as for the "get a life comment", take a chill pill man.

i don't care what card people get, all i care about is playing my games. When i got a Geforce4 Ti4800SE, i had alot of problems with the games i played and so i got a ATI Radeon 9800Pro and i don't get any problems at all. The only trouble i get is if it is OS related, which is not common. I wish MS would make Win9x games work on XP. (ie. Tie Fighter 95) (WITH Direct3D working.)

ah here we go, atifanboy starts it up. anyone having problems with a nvidia card, i have to question their pc capabilities. never ever had a problem with nvidia and don't know anyone including my dad(who is very limited on pc's) EVER have a problem and he's playing with a 4400 still. oh and now it's not ati problems, no it's the os. if it's not the os it's bad game code..lol u guys just crack me up.

'This thread is inevitably going to turn into an ATI/nVidia sux bitchfight...' If u and xxxx just STFU then there's no fight... [email protected] - well said, can't agree more.

why get worked up, its great. amuses me no end seeing these sad nerds wanking over a graphics card a taking sides with companies who couldnt give a fuck apart from giving them the time of day to take their money time and time again. keep it up geeks hahahaha!

bush	posted - Jun, 02 2004 - 22:03
well xxxx.. i guess nobody needs to instruct you on which slot you can insert that card of yours.

satan	posted - Jun, 02 2004 - 23:25
hahaha, and the kid insults continue. its lke being back at school haha, you fucking loser

FX5900	posted - Jun, 03 2004 - 04:11
hahaha this is great fun. I feel sorry for all the ATI users with their little penis's. Don't you just love open flame wars?! What's this thread about again? Oh Thats right; ATI releases PCI-E cards... how did we get into this war? What happened to the love?

i had an nvidia 4200. i had a lot of problem. so i bought ati 9600 pro. still a lot of problem. then i sell my macintosh and buy a pc. games works okay now. so i never buy nvidia again.

geno	posted - Jun, 03 2004 - 07:04
my ti4200 has been faithfull for over a year so far, no problems anywhere other then with a few mobo drivers. Though i see ATI's performing better then nvidia's, nvidia's cards are cheaper. Maybe my next card will be a ATI just to see if it really makes that much of a friggin difference.

bill	posted - Jun, 03 2004 - 15:02
you nvidiots still think u da best. ATI is the king now.

geno. no it doesn't. ur listening to ati people that no nothing else but what their daddies bought them. ur free to do what u want with ur money. but u will put urself in world of 50/50 with games. remember, games don't say made for ati, they "always" say nvidia. if that doesn't say enough(no its not just marketing) then i fear u just want to blow money. @hanzo, that's really good logic you stupid ass smacktard. i have problem with my 4200, i replace with 9600 still proble, sell mac and buy pc and never buy nvidia. ur a F_cking moron. i say, bring ur pc back and if they ask you why, say ur too f_cking stupid to own one.
