Conclusion
All in all ATI once again managed to place a product on the market that's is the fastest thing available, a very pleasant product. The GeForce FX 5800 Ultra however is trying to keep up with the Radeon 9800 Pro the newer Detonator 43.45 drivers definitely close the gap very well. When we compare both products another big plus in favor of the Radeon 9800 Pro is of course sound .. the active cooling method used on the Radeon 9800 Pro is way more silent than NVIDIA's FlowFX solution. If you do not have a clue what I'm talking about then please read our GeForce FX 5800 Ultra review. So basically as GeForce 5800 Ultra FX comparison that's sums it all up.

Furthermore, the card is highly programmable, game programmers will love the Radeon 9800 Pro. Next to that, it simply is fast and very efficient with it's quality setting in Anisotropic Filtering and Anti Aliasing. Installation was as easy as a breeze, no problems at all. Stability then, it never crashed even once.The Radeon 9800 Pro is a joy to own, it in fact is a somwhat beefed up Radeon 9800 Pro it'll play any game to date absolutely fabulous with and without setting like AA and AF. However, if you own a Radeon 9700 Pro then it's definitely not worth it to upgrade though. If you are seeking for the latest and greatest ... well you surely can't go wrong with this product.

Again two thumbs up fro ATI, definitely recommended.

ATI Radeon HD 4770 review
Today we have another bang for buck product, a product that I like very much. As what ATI is doing today is pretty remarkable. They are releasing the Radeon HD 4770, a mainstream product at a budget price. Trust me when I say that after reading this review, you will be impressed.

ATI Radeon HD 4550 512MB review
Today we test the Radeon HD 4550. It's the cheapest desktop graphics product that ATI can deliver at your doorsteps. This Radeon HD 4550 (GPU codename RV710XT) comes with an optional 256 MB GDDR2 or optional 512MB GDDR3 and will cost you .. 45 to 55 USD respectively.

AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB review
Today a test and review on the new AMD ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB. Obviously ATI is releasing a 1GB model to compete with the new Core 216 version of that GeForce GTX 260. The 4870 series really diggs that GDDR5 memory bandwidth, and what's the cheapest thing to do to gain some extra performance ? Increase the framebuffer volume. Now that by itself is not going to work miracles, yet in memory limited situations (loads of high quality textures, filtering and AA modes) it will help you here and there. And a little bit of extra bite is all the product needs to get beat that Core 216 card again.
