Radeon 9000 may not cost too much, but it still may not be worth the money you spend on it.

The title of the above article discribes it perfectly.


If you can wait it out alittle longer for the 9500PRO to drop in price and for someone to figure out how to OC it, that may be the best bang for the buck. That card would be worthy of a peltier, not a 9000pro.

It is actually has been solved/figured out/fixed. Look a bit in here or general sectiom and you'll find that thread, just flash the new (edited) BIOS and you're ready to OC :D
 
I can't belive it beats the 9700! just with an updated BIOS- you'd think there'd be more differances between them then a differant bios!!:eek:
And i was going to get a 9700 as well...:(
