ATI Radeon Line-up @ Digit-Life

Digit-Life, in this huge review, takes a look at various ATI Radeon cards, ranging from the slowest 9200, to their flagship 9800pro. Worth a check if you're planning on getting one of the ATI-powered cards in the near future.
"Today we have only RADEON 9600 PRO and 9600 within the DX9 line which are weaker than the RADEON 9800 PRO. But these cards are much cheaper than the RADEON 9800 PRO. So, what will be between them? RADEON 9700 PRO/9700 based cards are not produced anymore. One of the expected solutions was the RADEON 9800 with lower clock speeds. The same PCB comes with cheaper and slower memory (3.3ns) and chips clocked at 325 MHz (i.e. which do not operate properly at 380MHz). The solution is similar to the RADEON 9700 PRO though the clock speeds are 325/590 MHz instead of 325/620. But the difference is almost unnoticeable. The gap between $300 and $350 is now filled up, and the 9700 PRO is done away with"
