Just wondering if anyone has a Radeon 9700 pro and if so what make, price and where did you get it from? (because I want one!)

I got one from Crucial (£219.99 + VAT) but you can also get it from Komplett(€414.12 inc VAT)

Yeah, I was looking at that crucial one. Seems to be the best deal around. Is it working well for you?

Yeah it seems to be working grand. I havent had any trouble with it.

I got one for 370 euro at www.encom.ie

They are absolutely excellent, I have a pair of 19" tft's on mine, and it steams along

Try emailing them, they are usually very good at matching prices

If I wait until the geforce FX comes out, I'll want a geforce FX

I have the Sapphire Radeon 9700 Atlantis PRO 128MB
Got it 319(VAt free too

) got it off Komplett when it was in the specials..
I seem to be getting black & white display when I hook it up the TV for some reason,anyone know why?
I also tried a 15" moniter as the duel display, it acted as if it was recieving nothing though.. didn't give the duel moniter enough time me thinks..
I love it though

deadly graphics in max payne and UT2k3

Lenny, is the TV-out outputting in PAL or NTSC. If its the latter, thats the reason, but you may be able to change it.

The FX should be available in around two weeks. I imagine the Radeons will plummet in price at that point (anyone remember the 8500's price before the GF4 came out?).

Im content with my Crucial 9700, but if i was getting a card now Id wait the two weeks.

Not sure which setting it is set at, I just connect it directly to the side of the televeision and select "entension 2"
I'll do a bit more fiddlin round, thanks

The Geforce FX wont be widely available in Europe till April.
It will be on limited release in the States in Feburary(barring delays), dont expect to see them in Ireland till April or later.
They are on pre-order in Germany for about €700. They claim they wont have them till April.

I got a sapphire 9700 pro from komplett.
Love it to bits and highly recommend it, Got it running at 350/325. (default is 325/315 or sommet)

The 9700np can be overclocked to 350/310 ish. Its a fair bit less money and only a bit of performance loss if you overclock it.

Anyone here get a Radeon 9700 pro?
