  Radeon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radeon is a brand of graphics processing units (GPU) that has been manufactured by ATI Technologies since 2000 and the successor to their Rage line.
After testing the 130 nm Low-k waters with Radeon 9600XT, ATI made use of this advanced fabrication process for R420 in May 2004.
With the 2.6.17 kernel, some cards from the r300 driver were added to the radeon driver (http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_17).

 RADEON GUIDE
However, the Radeon VE has reduced capabilities as compared to the other Radeon models and HTPC builders are well advised to not use the Radeon VE as it has both lower graphics performance and less flexibility for setting custom resolutions (as frequently needed for home theater PC setups).
The setup for the Radeon 7000 and 8000 series cards may be different and the new generation of the DVD Player software may not require the same manual tweaks to the Windows Registry as required with version 4.1.
Before beginning the installation of your new ATI Radeon card you will need to get on the web and click this link to visit the ATI web site where you can select the ATI Graphics board you will be using, then select to download the drivers and finally which operating system your HTPC is using.

 Radeon 9700 - The Numbers Behind the Beast - MegaGames pc
A few days ago ATI officially introduced the Radeon 9700 as the fastest 3D chip.
The most likely figure seems to be that of 315 MHz, which is the optimal limit for maintaining a stable R300 chip and Radeon 9700 card.
ATI will ask for USD 399 per card but will inevitably introduce cheaper boards based on the Radeon 9500 that will be an R300 with a lower clock-speed.

 Review: ATI Radeon DDR OEM graphics card
This is a Radeon DDR, using Double Data Rate memory for twice the RAM bandwidth of the basic Single Data Rate boards.
The Radeon's 32 bit speed is fine compared with the opposition, but people going for more frame rate at the expense of some image quality by dropping the colour depth won't get much joy from a Radeon.
When the Radeon first came out, its drivers were somewhat flaky but it actually performed better than a GeForce2 GTS in medium-to-high resolutions and 32 bit colour.

 Radeon R100 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first-generation Radeon GPU was launched in 2000, and was initially code-named "Rage 6", (later "R100"), as the successor to ATI's aging Rage 128 which was unable to compete with the GeForce 256.
The VE lacked much of the original Radeon's 3D-hardware: one pixel-pipeline, HyperZ, and Hardware TandL were all removed, as well as a 64-bit memory bus, although it added "Hydravision" dual-monitor support and integrated a 2nd RAMDAC into the core (for "Hydravision").
Launched in fall 2001 alongside the Radeon 8500, the 7500 was intended to compete with the GeForce2 Ti in the way that the 8500 was supposed to compete with the GeForce 3 Ti500, although some presumed that the 7500 was up against the GeForce 3 Ti200.

The Radeon 9100 is a rerelease of the Radeon 8500 because it is faster than the Radeon 9000 (see below), the windows drivers offer "pixel shader supported video deblocking filtering" for this card.
The 9000 cards use the Rv250 chipset which is a heavily modified R200 chip, the clockspeed increased, the number of texture units per pipeline halved, while the windows drivers offer "pixel shader supported video deblocking filtering" for this card.

 ATI Improves Radeon 9600XT - MegaGames hardware
It seems that ATI have an ace up their sleeve as far as the Radeon 9600XT is concerned.
Reviews of the card have been surfacing for a while now and most of them have been suggesting that the card is not all that different to the Radeon 9600 PRO.
While we cannot speculate how much faster the new Radeon 9600XT will be compared to the reviews we have been reading, it is safe to say that ATI would not be changing things if they didn't expect an adequate performance improvement.

 ATI Chips Comparison Table | Hardware Secrets
Judging from the table, a Radeon 9800 may seem slower than a Radeon 9600 Pro, since its clock is inferior, and a Radeon X700 Pro seems faster than a Radeon X800 since it uses a higher clock rate.
However, Radeon 9800 accesses its memory using a 256-bit interface and processes eight pixels per clock pulse, while the Radeon 9600 Pro accesses its memory using a 128-bit interface and processes four pixels per clock pulse.
This means that memory access and processing performance of the Radeon 9800 would the double of that of the Radeon 9600 Pro if they were working at the same clock.

 [H] Enthusiast - ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
Some of the first pointed to it being a Radeon 8500 “Ultra” of sorts, while the more recent ones have shown it to be somewhat less of a performer than the Radeon 8500.
Most of the Radeon 9000 Pro's specs are exactly the same as the Radeon 8500 except for the TMU (Texture Mapping Unit) and Truform.
The Radeon 9000 Pro’s PCB is 17 centimeters in length, while a Radeon 8500 LE’s PCB is 17.5 centimeters in length.

 Applelinks.com: Review - Radeon 8500 Mac Edition
I could have pit the Radeon 8500 against the other ATI cards in the 500MHz iBook or a 333MHz iMac, but that hardly seemed worthwhile.
I was nervous at seeing that the Radeon 8500 has a fan (my previous card, the Nvidia GeForce 2, did not), but it hasn't proven much noisier than before.
The Radeon 8500 chugged along at a decent speed during even the most intense moments, and it continued to look sweet throughout.

When rendering in 16-bit color, fillrate measurements for Radeon suggest four texturing units to be active out of a possible six, with an output of two dual-textured pixels per clock.
If each pixel is composed with three textures instead of two, the contribution from all six of Radeon's texturing units should bring it on par with GeForce2.
As for Radeon, the number of active texturing units remains the same, i.e.

However, there was a lack of availability of these products on launch day and it took until the 10th for stock to arrive at Newegg, and another three days before stock arrived in the UK.
Many enthusiasts have Radeon X1800XL's in their systems now, but many were waiting for the Radeon X1800XT, which started shipping on 2nd November in the USA, and arrived in the UK a week later.
Today, we are going to evaluate the gaming experience delivered by ATI's Radeon X1800XT with the newly released Catalyst 5.11 drivers, containing fixes that are said to improve performance in games using OpenGL when running at high resolutions with Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering turned on.

Even though I knew at the time of my last story a week ago, I found it hardly possible to believe that the final clock speed is actually 412MHz for the GPU and 730MHz for memory.
The Radeon 9600XT is a 500MHz core and 600MHz memory card and it will be fun to see the core to core performance fight between Nvidia NV36 and 9600XT.
Radeon 9600XT has all it needs to outperform Radeon 9500 PRO, still king of the sub $200 market.

 Sapphire Technology RADEON 7500, 8500, 9000, 9000Pro, 9700Pro Video Cards, Anisotropic Filtering of the RADEON 9700 Pro
The previous review of the PowerColor RADEON 9700 card showed that such flaws were not frequent, and the higher-quality anisotropy of the RADEON 9700 and a relatively lower performance drop caused by anisotropy made up for those disadvantages of that function based on the RIP-mapping.
Although the overall impression is spoiled, implementation of anisotropy of the RADEON 9700 Pro card is much improved compared to the RADEON 8500 and is equal to the GeForce4 (the higher quality of the 16x and a small performance drop make up for the defects).
Secondly, the algorithm of anisotropic filtering implemented in the RADEON 9700 has some loopholes when texture modules are not burdened with the highest degree.

 ATI Radeon 8500 Chipset - PCSTATS.com
Though the Radeon line subsequently diversified, the original intent was to deliver a chipset which could compete with the GTS in terms of sheer performance, but also scale better from 16 to 32 bit colour without losing much in terms of frame rates.
The Radeon 8500 GPU is a.15 micron process, 60 million transistor chip with 4 rendering pipelines, each with two texture units.
As with the original Radeon's adoption of a third texturing unit per pipeline, it remains to be seen whether support for the 8500's ability to add an additional two textures per pixel per pass will actually be instituted by developers in the 9 months or so before the inevitable Next Generation Chipset comes out.
