Whip Ass Gaming: ATI Radeon 9700 - Pipe Dream Demo

[portal23555]

thumbs up if you thin ati x200 is worse than ati 9600.

[alilsneaky]

this has always been my favorite tech demo

[ThePotterman10]

This machine sure has balls.

Little tip for FRAPS users.

If you have an extra hard drive installed (virtual partitions of the same one don't count), recording to that hard drive instead of the one you're recording FROM can give a nice FPS boost.

@morrowindsky

True, it does really help(this is how I record all of my videos via FRAPS)

[ThehardwareGuy12]

You wanna know a secret the ati radeon 9700 pro can run crysis!!!! :D

fps is about 30 fps max!!!! try it. it will work trust me i did it :).

[ricoco750]

yeah im referring to the 8700pro. that card benched the best for me at that time in my price range.. good old days.. things have changed :)

[ricoco750]

good old days.. i remember when it came out.. i sold my 9600 to get the 9700.. was awesome

[kawaiifreak860]

@ricoco750 lol the 9600 came out late as the 9700 was the High end the 9600 being low end.

I find it funny in a way though you know cause some thing the 9000-9200 are also part of that series but it's really a misunderstanding as they're actually only partially even Direct X 8 compliant.

[ricoco750]

yeah the 9700 was out for a while when i got my 9600.. didnt have the money at the time for the 9700. later that changed.

[kawaiifreak860]

@ricoco750 ah bet you didn't know that even with the 9600 you had the best thing out there since none of the FX series could compete with the 9600 let alone the 9700pro.

[L33tCh]

Ah man.. this was the day.. my 9700Pro was a great card to own... even beat the 9800 hands down. And yup.. this is from the real time graphics demo.

[CubeLuda]

I just purchased an old Dell laptop for 50 bucks!! it has the 9700 in it. (not sure if its pro or not)

What games do you think I can play on it? CoD4 work well?

[L33tCh]

Hehe, awesome... well, obviously not next gen games... but anything Valve's Source Engine and before should be fine...

CoD4.. might be pushing it, but maybe with fine tuning the settings...

[kawaiifreak860]

@L33tCh Actually if my computer can do things it's not sposed to (9200 running DX 9 when it's 8) then a 9700 can do alot too.

[Oneworld87]

Holy crap, wow! That was an awesome song! :O

[josh5ps2]

Were do you download these?

[Belpowerslave]

Just hit the ATI site and look for "demos"...

[josh5ps2]

Ok thanks

[jimboslutstien]

This was such a big deal when I had my 9700 pro. It's actually still very impressive, it really looks pre rendered.

[slayercoolsnake]

I saw this On PBS lol

[josh5ps2]

Lol!

[fender1972]

Nice!!

[Pikawil64]

It's even better when you consider that it was originally a CGI short now rendered in real time.

[AmanOU2be]

How can you get this to run a 1600-1200?

[Belpowerslave]

Go in to the config file and change the res...

[YagamiSpain]

Best ATI Demo Ever.

[cromeum]

agreed
