Anyone using a 9500 or 9500 pro yet

[SemiCycle]

I'm just wondering if anyone has one of these cards yet. I've seen them on sell a couple places now.

ive been looking but none here (CaNaDa) or online.

Newegg has them, but let me guess, they don't ship to canada, right?

i've seen the 9500 for sale at newegg but not the 9500 pro. does anyone know where they're selling the 9500 pro?

Whats the difference? IS it just clocked a bit lower? And can it OC to 9500 Pro speeds you think? Im lookin to upgrade from my current 9000 non pro, so im VERY weary about buying non pro ever again....ATi realy dicked me outa a good card

[SemiCycle]

The differences are HUGE. The 9500Pro is the exact same card as a 9700, but it is just clocked lower and only has a 128bit memory bus instead of the 256bit bus on the 9700 series enjoys.

The 9500 sours the pot even more by using only half the rendering pipelines as the 9500Pro, and only ships in 64mb configurations.

I really hate this site, but he has a nice chart that shows the differences

The 2 cards 2 get seem to be the vanila 9700 or the 9500pro

[Ri0_6667]

I'm sure the 9500 will come with a 128 meg config. I actually think I read it somewhere. Still kicks the hell outa my 9000 pro, I think I'll exchange it.

[SemiCycle]

I'm pretty sure only the 9500pro will get the 128mb treatment, not the 9500

I just saw a 9500 on newegg and it had DDR....?


Well anyway, so is a 9500 pretty much just a Ti4600? Except still cheaper.

[SemiCycle]

Video cards have been using DDR for a LONG time now man
