ATI Radeon 9600Pro
Is it just me or is the Radeon 9x00 products getting bad user reviews throughout the internet?
Is there a way to make it peform above par? |

I think you have the 9x00 confused with the nvidia FX's that are getting bad user reviews everywhere. The 9x00 cards are the best around.

The Sapphire radeon 9x00 range of cards are getting bad reviews because of poor quality and reliability

Sapphire even makes some of the cards that are sold under the ATi brand.

I have a 5950Ultra, and it beats the pants off my brothers 9800Pro, we are both extremely disappointed in the 9800Pro, he now wants at least a 5900Ultra

FXs are kinda flaky in DX9. That is what I have heard, so don't quote me right away.
