Looks tasty!

EDIT- after reading this review, I was shocked to see this little tidbit:

The anti-aliasing and anisotropic performance results show that the GeForce4 Ti4600 is quickly becoming the card not to buy for gaming. Keep in mind that money-wise, the 9500 and 9500 Pro are posistioned to take on the Ti4200 cards that are out there.

He must know the flames he'd get by posting that.

Forget taking on the 4200, with AA and AF its faster than the 4600! Even without its sometimes faster! And it only has 64MB!

It looks like the card I've been waiting for! Low price and great performance, that's the way we like it!

same here man, when is it hitting the shelves??? well, i mean newegg

Hmm, the 9500PRO is quite a bit better than the plain 9500. I bet alot of people will go for the cheaper 9500 , not understand its a big drop from the 9500PRO and get upset. Ohwell, i cant wait till the ddr2~next gen vid cards get here.

Guess I need to sell my ti4200 before this one comes out.

Looks like you can take a 9700 and overclock it to the 9700 Pro speeds. Very cool. I don't trust ATI drivers though.

start to, catalyst 2.3 are as stable as nvidias detonator can be....

i might also get the cheap 9500 and oc it to 9700 speeds with cooljag

ATI hasn't had driver problems in a while now man. Let the past go

I just got done reading a couple other reviews of that 9500pro. That will be one killer card. It is nice to see ATI expand their new generation GPU to the mid and lower levels. Since the card has a suggested price of $199, what do you think it will be selling for?

$199 retail out of the gate price..I'm guessing it'll be down to $150 on-line in less than amonth

Patience is the way of the Jedi young Padawan...

...I've bought two MX-400's a little over a year ago, and have been watching the whole ATI vs. Nvidia thing the whole time. I'm still not decided on which card I'm going to upgrade to. NV30 comes out a little over 2 months from now, so I may as well wait to see what that does to the prices of all the cards.

And when the NV30 is here ATI will have new and better card in the way out, and you might as well wait for that one... And beat goes on!
