Crimson 0 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 There are six different versions of the Radeon 9600 on Pricewatch. Heres what the have: Radeon 9600 128MB Radeon 9600 256MB Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB Radeon 9600 Pro Ultimate 128MB Radeon 9600 Pro Ultra 128MB Why are there so many different versions of the same card?

Stinger 0 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 IIRC this was brought up not too long ago. A couple of those are only different because some 3rd party person stuck a different HSF on it or something. They aren't all actual card models supported by Radeon.

Dannik 43 Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 The difference between the Radeon 9600 and 9600 Pro is the clock speeds of the gpu and vram. The Pro is clocked faster. Also, the different memory options are reasonably obvious. As for the Ultra and Ultimate versions, those are 3rd party cards, and thus the specifications could be anything from simple renamings of the Pro series cards, or faster clocked cards, or include extra hardware/software. The only way to be sure is to check the products out with their respective manufacturers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
