Radeon 9700

This card is coming out soon... Will Matrox lower its prices to compete?

"Here are a few numbers for those of you who can't wait. The 3DMark2001SE score of GeForce4 Ti4600 was 11,400, while Radeon 9700, with its young driver, scored 14,000. Once 4x FSAA and 8x anisotropic filtering was used, the scores changed quite significantly. GeForce4 Ti4600 was able to get a mere 4500 points, while Radeon 9700 scored 10,000 points, thus, more than twice the points of the competitor from NVIDIA. "


If only Parhelia can perform to this level.

Ouch. Look at the tests done by Anand.
The ATI scored on average 2.5times as high as the Parhelia.

Another nail in the coffin?

"... the Radeon 9700, the first R300 based card from ATI, will be in stores no later than 30-days from now. The card retails for a MSRP of $399 and with all that ATI has been able to show us that far, we have no reason not to believe them on this."

Who is going to buy a Parhelia now? Hope those ATI people got their act together with stable driver.
