ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: ATI

Weakness: No improvement over the ATI Radeon 9500 Pro 'Built by ATI"

NOT overclockable that I know of, as my 9500 Pro was, and can't perform at the levels my 9500 Pro overclocked to 9700 Pro gives. Just telling it like it is. Buy 9700 or 9500 pro's over this model with preference to the 9700 Pro now for your best buy.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: 128MB?

Weakness: Not sure yet but they are there.

I have just upgraded from my ATI 32MB all-in-wonder-pro card. My computer is Pentium 4 2.6GHZ 512 RAM Windows 98SE OS. Not bad I figured? Well try to run Battlefield 1942. It won't. It's choppy and annoying even at the lowest settings. Othergames like Neverwinter nights run crappy too. Oh well, i guess it's nice to say I have a 128MB card. Very frustrated with the decision to buy this card.

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: None

Weakness: Unreliable operation when using DVI port. Cool fan is failing after only 6 months. Won't display 1600x1200 on the VGA port, only the DVI.

I've only owned this card for 6 months and the cooling fan just started making a loud annoying noise. That's unacceptable for a $190 card! I'm waiting to find out if ATI will send me a new fan or if they expect me to pay $10 to send it back in for repair, leaving me with no card and costing me more than just buying a new fan. If they won't, I think I'll just unplug the fan, let the card burn up...

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: Good Colors, Fast

Weakness: Locks-up (alot).

Folks, for the money you pay. This video card should be able to run all the games out there. Especially the ones that are more popular. C&C Generals, Never Winter Nights, Age of Mythology. Right? Well, it doesn't. It'll lock up your system and you'll be forever in trying to find a solution. Take my advice...buy an Nvidia, and you'll avoid a lot of hassles and nashing of teeth. Granted, the Nvidia...

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: ATI has a nice driver interface, easy overclockablility

I've been using this card for a long time. I even added/modded 8 Ramsinks to the memory chips for my card from www.2cooltek.com I used Artic Silver Thermal Adhesive It runs all my games fairly well @ 1280 resolution, (didn't try the new Catalyst 4.2 drivers yet, they're supposed to improve performance.) However, the card that I own is not a good overclocker. The default core/mem is near 400/300...

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: The Price is good, and yes its is a fine card BUT!!!

Weakness: It doesnt matter how much you pay for an Item , its if you can afford it and IF it will do the job, this card doesnt.

I have many games and battle field 1942 and AOM and HOMM IV these games do NOT work well in fact they dont work at all, I bought this card thinking (stupidily) that I would get Faster game playstopping mouse sloutch and enhauncing the picture, MY mistake, as all it does is hang the game and crash them. OK FFXI works well and Diablo and WarCraft But one would think that if you pay for a product...

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: Great video quality, FAST!!and stable

Weakness: None that I aware of.

Great card, highly overclockable and awesome video quality. This card rocks for it price. I have not had any issues with this card whatsoever. Also I have helped install this in numerous friends computers with no real issues. Just be sure in you bios to disable Fast Writes and it will run smooth as silk without any hiccups. Highly recomended Card !!

ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Video Card

Strengths: 128 MB DDR, 400Mhz engine, 600Mhz memory, 13u process, means that runs cooler and can be tweak @ 500Mhz and 700Mhz

Weakness: none

With the next-generation games looming on the horizon with the promise of incredible details and obscene numbers of polygons, the performance level of the graphics card in your system is set to become more of a priority than I have seen in years. Given the sheer complexity of these titles, the graphics card of choice must possess support for the latest and greatest features as well as the raw...
