OCUK ATI RADEON 9700 PRO REVIEW

BENCHMARK SETTINGS

COMMENT - "Something just doesn't ring true with the MSI GeForce 5900 XT results with this benchmark. As shown in 3dmark 2005 and Rightmark the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro wipes the floor with the MSI GeForce 5900 XT when using DX9 software but here we see the MSI GeForce 5900 XT holding it's own in the DX9 Mother Nature. At this time we can't comment on the reason for the sudden DX9 performance increase for the MSI GeForce 5900 XT."

COMMENT - "This is almost the same result as in the 3dmark 2001 SE fillrate test, the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro delivers 9% extra single texturing fillrate than the MSI GeForce 5900 XT. However with multi texturing fillrate the MSI GeForce 5900 XT delivers an extra 11% multi texturing fillrate compared to the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro."

COMMENT - "The OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and the MSI GeForce 5900 XT both deliver performance which is close however the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro offers an increase in performance 0% and 10% better than the MSI GeForce 5900 XT."

COMMENT - "Going by the DX9 performance shown in 3dmark 2003 we expected the MSI GeForce 5900 XT to offer good performance with 3dmark 2005. However we were shocked to see the MSI GeForce 5900 XT perform so poorly between 34% to 56% slower than the OCUK ATI Radeon 9700 Pro."
