ATI RADEON 9500 PRO 128MB DDR (275/540 MHz)





This chip is presented by ATI RADEON 9500 PRO 128MB, AGP.




Features:

  • ATI RADEON 9500 PRO GPU, 275MHz clock;
  • 128MB DDR SGRAM in 8 Hynix 3.6ns BGA chips, 270 (540) MHz clock, 128-bit bus;
  • Peak fill rate in the multitexturing mode is 2200 megapixels/sec and 2200 megatexels/sec.

Wasn't overclocked.

By the end of the month the product belongs to the $182-202 range; closest rivals: GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP 8x.

On the 10th of February 2003 the latest drivers version from ATI is 6.292 for Windows XP.

I shall note there's Radeon2.ru, web-site that tracks all software novelties from ATI and offers improved drivers versions with preset registry settings for increasing RADEON cards perfomance.

All the latest drivers belong to the CATALYST serie.








Taking into account the new anisotropy quality, I recommend you to read the anisotropic filtering section.
