ATI Radeon 9700 Pro - Delivering as Promised

The Card
The final Radeon 9700 Pro card hasn't changed noticeably from the pre-release board we tested last month. The red PCB remains although the fan is much less GeForce4-like.
You can see a small heatspreader on the back of card to help dissipate heat away from some of the power circuitry.

ATI still hasn't announced a dual-DVI version of the Radeon 9700 Pro, which is still disappointing considering the high pricetag of the part. If you do want dual DVI outputs and the R300 GPU then you will have to wait for the professional version of the card under the FireGL brand (FireGL X1).

Continuing the trend of looking back at the good ol' days.Considering inflation (vs 2020), this card launched at something like $550.
I still have one running on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe w/ a Barton @ 2.6GHz

So many great memories from my first PC build. What a great video card! Looks so pedestrian in 2020.
