This chip is presented by Gigabyte MAYA II RADEON 9500 64MB, AGP.
Features:
Wasn't overclocked. By the end of December the product belongs to the $150-170 range; supports DirectX 9.0; closest rival: GeForce4 Ti4200. On the 10th of December 2002 the latest drivers version from ATI is 6.218 for Windows XP.
Windows XPAs you can see, new versions are almost identical. 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.
As there are currently not actual apps, using Shaders 2.0, and DirectX 9.0 hasn't been released, we'll provide some demos, based on DirectX 9.0.beta1. Taking into account the new anisotropy quality, I recommend you to read the anisotropic filtering section. Below are screenshots from a number of games taken on RADEON 9700, and the reference screenshots taken on NVIDIA GeForce3.
