That's a tough one. I'm tempted to say Hercules but that just doesn't sound right. Usually they would have Hercules/Guillemot written all over the box.

id say its a company weve never heard of, some small chinese job....most of the big Ati partners (Ati, Powercolor, Hercules, Sapphire) would have their logos embaloned all over

Oops, sorry, I thought You are from CZ (flag in your avatar).
So in english: what does it mean (CMB: Some company in CZ ) ?
My card looks like original Ati, but there is no manufacturer printed on the box. I bought it in Levi store.

i know "yak se mas" hehehe , i am learning slowly tho ; CMB is just short for "Card Made By" if you look at some of the other cards with different manufacturers you will see CMB & Card Made By on them . I just use CMB for some of the longer lines to keep it on the same line (for a 1024x768 screen) ... does the card have "built by ati" or "powered by ati" ? it usually on the front on the top right corner of the box . if it says "powered by ati" then someone else made it .

My card has label Powered by Ati on the box, manual is printed in Canada, but manufacturer is unknown - I see white label Made in China on the back of the card.

Mymak wrote on 11-18-2002 06:25 PM:

Yes, it's my photo. Thanx to all for their opinions. I did a big and long search at Ati's web site and found method how to identify card with so-called "102 Part number". And result?

My card is Built by Ati, Radeon 9700 128MB VGA DVI TVOUT NTSC.

This is strange, because here in Czech not NTSC, but PAL is used for TV broadcast. And I cannot change it in bios, because Radedit v.1.1 says bios is Not valid Ati bios. :confused:

[oops]

Check on the card, I had one retail "original ATI built Radeon 8500 275/550", and it was bought from newegg, but on the card it labeled ----------- "Made in China".

[Maxvla]

yeah i woulda guessed made by ATI.

already confirmed :D

[HeXenViRii]

interesting indeed

[Mymak]

Here is another photo. You can see text Made in China and part number which says Built by Ati. Btw on CD with drivers is printed "Replicated in Hong Kong".

[oops]

"Made by ATI"..... I think most ATI products are made in China.
I was a little suprised to see how many computer stuff around here are "made in China". I got my Logitech Z560 4.1 from newegg, and it labels "made in China", same to my Antec True 480W PSU.......haven't checked other stuff yet,

and so far I haven't seen a single opitical mouse without label as "Made in China".

Really few stuff are "made in the US".

I am thinking, how do you Americans live? :) With all the foreign companies produce goods for you.

[HeXenViRii]

lol , i just checked my MS intellimouse explorer ; made in china .... they could cripple our whole computer industry !!!

[oops]

Is there anyone here works for the army? check out to see if there is "Made in China" on the M16, M1A2, and F-22...........lol

[Namagomi]

My MS Intelleye Explorer 2.0 was made in Mexico :(
But the wireless explorer was made in China.

[mbentley]

i don't complain about all of the computer stuff being made in asia... it keeps the prices down some :) as long as there is still some business in the US, it'll all be good. i mean, why do you think all the technology is in california? it's close to asia, that's why :D

[Henry Rollins II]

LOL are you guys surpised that all our stuff is made in China?!? What else is new??

Take it back to the store and trade it in for an AK 47.

The Box may say 9700 PRO but I would bet that it is really the newly released 9700, the slightly declocked version of the 9700 Pro. There is nothing on the card itself that denotes the PRO version, just that it is a Radeon 9700 128MB. I would think if it is a 9700 Pro it would say Pro on there somewhere.

then again...maybe not..

It's Pro - both Radeonator and Rage3D Tweak say cloks are 324MHz core, 310MHz memory.

But I have question about memory chips - Samsung K4D26323RA-GC2A. Datasheet says max. frequency is 350MHz. Is there any possibility to run it at 350MHz without additional cooling?
