ATI RADEON & Half-Life 2 [Sep 30, 2003, 5:18 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
ATI introduces RADEON 9800 XT and RADEON 9600 XT, demonstrating industry leadership once again
(thanks Frans) is the press release announcing ATI's latest, including word on
the promised Half-Life 2 bundle, even if the game did not make its planned
release date, as word is purchasers of these cards will get a copy of Half-Life
2 "when the game ships." ATI and Valve Team up to Showcase the best of 3D Gaming
has more on this, including quotes from Valve, like the following:
"ATI has been a great partner on the engineering front. Our work with ATI has enabled DirectX 9 functionality that wouldn't have been possible with any other company," said Gabe Newell, Founder and Managing Director, Valve. "ATI's hardware gives our customers the best experience with our software. So we've chosen to extend our relationship to include marketing initiatives that will showcase both Half-Life 2 and RADEON products."
Actually, the best deal has been, and will continue to be, the 9700 pro. The 9800 is really powerful, but stupid expensive. The 9700 pro is crazy fast, and you can find them for as little as ~200 bucks if you look around. Barring that, the 9800np is also a sweet deal.
By all means, if you've got the loot a 9800 pro is a great investment. But if you can't drop 350 on a video card, you might want to check em out.
