PowerColor Radeon 9600XT Bravo 128MB [Review, Hexus]
Everyone wants in with ATI. Solid GPUs and drivers make its products easy to work with. That's why there's been a raft of new add-in board partners over the last 12 months or so. ATI is doing a NVIDIA, that is, ensuring that the consumer has the widest possible range of cards, usually through a network approved distributors. The approach seems to work quite well, as we now see decent online vendors stock multiple ATI products from a number of companies. Not only that, partners are free to design more than one card per GPU. The end result can be a rather confusing array of names and cards. It's the job of the informed purchaser to sift through the marketing talk and pick the product that best suits their needs and budget.

Sapphire Ultimate RADEON 9600XT Edition and ASUS RADEON 9600XT [Review, LostCircuits]
Any RADEON 9800 XT or else GeForce FX5950 Ultra will procure the ultimate gaming experience but this will come at a price and not everybody is willing to shell out some $500,- for one single component. On the other side of the spectrum are the really cheap display adapters that basically just project 2D images onto the screen. Mainstream is anything in between.

Leadtek WinFast A350 Ultra TDH MyVIVO Video Card Review [Review, 3dXtreme]
We'd like to thank Leadtek for their patience in allowing us to put this review online. At the time we received the Leadtek A350, information was just breaking on the poor DirectX 9 performance of the nVidia Geforce FX series of video cards and we didn’t feel it fair to use the 45.23 drivers. We informed Leadtek we wanted to wait until a suitable DirectX 9 driver was developed by nVidia, the industry rumor was that the 5x.xx driver series were aimed to improve the DirectX 9 performance of the FX series graphics cards. I decided to wait until now, at the time the 53.03 drivers were released by nVidia, because after initial usage with these drivers it was evident nVidia was on the right track and performance issues we had initially seen were resolved for the most part.

ATI All-In-Wonder 9600 PRO Review [Review, Beyond3d]

BFG Asylum GeForce FX 5950 Ultra [Review, Bjorn3d]
Today, we get to take a look at their highest performing product, the Asylum GeForce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB. Like many of the other companies offering NVIDIA-based solutions, BFG seems to try to differentiate some of their products with unique cooling solutions. I think this board has their best looking and probably best performing cooler yet. It resembles the one that was on the BFG 5900 board, but this time BFG's engineers have employed a heatpipe design for more efficient cooling.

Crucial RADEON 9800 Pro 256MB [Review, Bjorn3d]
Crucial was generous enough to supply us with their current flagship video card, their RADEON 9800 Pro 256MB. Crucial opted to use DDR2 on this board to squeeze all the performance possible out of it, but that usually also raises the price. We'll look at the price later. Now, let's check out this baby's specs and see how it performs. Mon, 22 Dec, 2003 | 35 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Fall 2003 Video Card Roundup, Part 4: Budget Shootout [Roundup, AnandTech]
Not everyone has the money to spend on graphics cards that cost two hundred dollars or more. And, not everyone who has money to spend cares to have the latest and greatest in features and performance. But whatever the reason, when building a PC on a budget, we want the most bang for our buck. Mon, 22 Dec, 2003 | 249 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

VisionTek XTASY Radeon 9800 XT 256MB [Review, Bjorn3d]
The battle for video card supremacy recently became more interesting with the latest product refreshes from NVIDIA and ATI. The hardware I'm alluding to is of course the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5950 Ultra and the ATI Radeon 9800 XT. I recently took a closer look at a retail 5950 Ultra (Leadtek WinFast A380 Ultra TDH MyVIVO), but this time around, a retail 9800 XT gets the spotlight.

9600 XT vs 5700 Ultra Middleweight Showdown [Review, Neoseeker]
In the alternate universe of the Internet, where videocards take on lives of their own we are gearing up for a battle of epic proportions. Forget the drama of Mike Tyson biting off ears or the mystery of Don King's ever expanding volume of hair because that is nothing compared to the controversy and excitement that is generated in the videocard world. In the middleweight division of video cards we have but two contenders. Forget about the chest thumping Xabre or the some 2-bit integrated solution. When push comes to shove it comes down in the 200$ price range we have only two fighters contesting for undisputed value champion. In the red corner we have the ATI 9600 XT and in the green corner we have the NVidia 5700 Ultra. Each of the respective corners have been prepping for months for this showdown for the title of undisputed Holiday 2003 champion. Mon, 08 Dec, 2003 | 340 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
AOpen Aeolus GeForceFX 5950 Ultra [Review, Hexus]
Big performance, big features, low price (as far as the high-end can be low), low profile. For some people shopping in this sector, that's slap bang in the middle of their product radar and very attractive. For while flash and glitz are all well and good, at the end of the day these boards are just bits of hot, complicated silicon that put pretty pictures on a screen. No matter how you tart them up, that's what they do at the end of it all. Mon, 08 Dec, 2003 | 80 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Asus Radeon A9600XT Videocard Review [Review, PCStats]
Asus' mainstream Radeon A9600XT comes packing 128MB of Samsung memory, and includes a DVI connector and DVI-to-analog converter.

VisionTek Radeon 9800 XT - 256mb [Review, OverclockerCafe]
Today, we are fortunate enough to do something a little different. Typically we have focused on more budget and mid range priced video cards that the bulk of us can afford and/or justify. Flipping to the other side of the scale today, we find ourselves with a VisionTek Radeon 9800 XT. By all accounts, ATi has surpassed NVidia with image quality and raw horsepower making themselves the act to follow. My first thought when putting this review together was doing a battle of the titans sort of thing but that has been done way too much. So we have decided to take a more practical approach. Lots of you are looking at upgrading either now or on a Christmas list so lets take a look at the 9800 XT in the context of, is it worth all the extra upgrade dollars or not. Wasted horsepower and money or a wet dream come true. Mon, 08 Dec, 2003 | 63 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
