This chip is presented by Sapphire Atlantis RADEON 9500 128MB 128bit, AGP card.

Features:

• ATI RADEON 9500 GPU, 275MHz clock rate;
• 128MB DDR SGRAM in 8 chips; 270 (540) MHz clock speed; 128-bit bus;
• Peak fill rate in the multitexturing mode is 1100 megapixels/sec and 1100 megatexels/sec.

The performance results are in the summary diagrams.

On June 10, 2003 the latest drivers from ATI are 6.360 and 6.368 for Windows XP.

By the end of the month the product belongs to the $150-170 range; closest rival: GeForce4 Ti 4200.

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 series.

Considering the new anisotropy quality, I recommend you to read the anisotropic filtering section.
