Anand heeft een review van de ATi Rage Fury Pro op z'n site geplakt. Uit de benchmarks blijkt dat deze opgefokte Rage 128 videokaart op alle fronten achterblijft bij de G400Max, TNT2 Ultra en Voodoo3. ATi ligt dus zoals gewoonlijk weer een generatie achter...
So how does the Rage Fury Pro and its Rage 128 Pro chip stack up to the competition? The first thing we have to look at is price, with an introductory price of $179 minus a $30 mail in rebate for a net price of $149, for the hard core gamer, this card is a rip-off. So hard core gamers should stick to their TNT2s and Voodoo3s, as if you didn't know that before.For the occasional gamer the Rage Fury Pro seems ideal but pairing the card up with a fast processor such as a Pentium III 500+ or an Athlon will most likely be doing your processor an injustice if you're concerned with gaming performance. The "slower" processors (< P3-450) is where the card will begin to shine, especially against the more CPU dependent TNT2, especially under Direct3D. The current limitation of performance under Quake 3 seems to be a result of the OpenGL ICD which does seem to have some room for improvement. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Rage 128 Pro beat out the TNT2 in a few Quake 3 runs with a better ICD.
