9700 Pro or non pro?

[ZeLL]

Anyone have the product numbers for either the 9700 pro or non pro? Still verifying if my 9700 pro is in fact not a pro. My cards P/N is 1029422710 074442. Hope to god this ends soon!

Who is the manufacturer of your card, where did you get it, and how much did you pay for it?

[ZeLL]

Here is where I bought my card from link (http://www.pcwonderinc.com/atirad97pro1.html). Paid $271 free shipping.

With a part number, the best thing to do is to plug it into google and see what they come up with.
The three hits i see would indicate it is a 9700 (the pro is an overclocked version)
That doesn't necessarily mean you were ripped off, if they have rated the part at the higher speed and used bigger heatsinks and fans... If you can, get a overclocking utility and use it to see what speed the memory and core are set at. If it is at 9700 levels then you have a legitimate gripe.

Good luck

Here what i found on Tomshardware (http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/20021024/index.html)sounds like you got a 9700


The chip of the 9500 PRO test card. The die surface corresponds exactly to the 9700 PRO.

This might all sound a bit confusing, so here's an overview of the differences:

Radeon 9700 PRO: The fastest and most expensive card among the ATI models. 8 pixel pipelines, 4 vertex shaders, 128 MB with 256-bit memory bus, DirectX 9 support. Clock speed (chip/memory): 325/310. Official price: $399.
Radeon 9700: The smaller of the 9700 series differs in its lower clock speeds: 275/270. Official price: $299.
Radeon 9500 PRO: The memory interface was reduced from 256-bit to 128-bit, but it can still accept up to 128 MB of memory. Otherwise, it has the same features as the 9700 cards, meaning that it offers full support for DirectX 9. Clock speeds: 275/270. Official price: $199.
Radeon 9500: Again, the memory bus is only 128-bit. The maximum memory is reduced from 128 MB to 64 MB. In addition, 4 pixel
pipelines are left out. However, it still offers full DirectX 9 support. Clock speeds: 275/270. Official price: $179.
Radeon 9000/9000 PRO: Based on the technology of the Radeon 8500 (R200). Supports DirectX 8.1.
