Brent Justice over @ [H]ardOCP has updated his Radeon 9800 Pro review by adding a Radeon 9700 Pro vs. 9800 Pro comparison that was missing from his review:
We take the two cards and compare them clock for clock and also take the soon-to-be released benchmark from UbiSoft's Splinter Cell for a drive.
The Radeon 9800 Pro was announced and reviewed almost three weeks ago. The Radeon 9800 Pro uses the newest VPU core from ATI which is codenamed R350. The 9700/Pro and 9500/Pro are based on the R300 VPU for comparison. Also announced three weeks ago was the 9600/Pro, based on the RV350 VPU and the 9200/Pro based on the RV280 VPU.
With this month coming to an end, we are close to seeing 9800 Pros in stores on shelves as well as online. With April approaching many are wondering if they should get the 9800 Pro now, or perhaps wait a little bit and see how things turn out, especially with the impending arrival of the 256MB 9800 Pro. While all we can do right now is wait to hear on that one, we can explore the 9800 Pro a little bit more in the meantime since we have one to play with.
