Another big announcement this week: ATI's latest video chipsets. Coverage on AnandTech, Tech-Report, HotHardware, TheInquirer.. TomsHardware have 9700 and 9000 info. Previews of cards from specific manufacturers: Hercules on HardAvenue and Gigabyte (Radeon 9000) on AusPCWorld. There's commentary on slashdot, too. HardOCP have no less than 3 articles.. one about the 9000, a white-paper about the 9700 and a gaming experience article using the 9700.
From ATI themselves: There's a press release here and there's more info on their developer site.. but ATI's servers are getting hammered at the moment, so those links will come and go.
From first reports this chipset seems very quick - 50% faster than GeForce4 Ti4600 in some benchmarks. Some competition at the high end of the market will be good and just what we've been waiting for.. but of course, nVIDIA's NV30 is looming. There's a discussion here in our Forum.
