Tyan 400MHz 9700

[jpeter]

Tyan Tachyon G9700 Pro
The heatsink is specially designed and Tyan claims the card will clock a 400MHz :D core speed. The designers, Tyan said, have tweaked the board layout and the card will work with all AGP 8X chipsets, again, unlike the "other guy's".

It doesn't appear to be running at or being able to hit 400mhz here. Granted its not final, but I wonder what the deal is.

That review seems a bit skewed IMO. I quote:

In the test of the Tachyon G9000 Pro card we observed that a Ti4200 card has around 177 FPS in the same test meaning it’s not that much higher a score the G9700 Pro card gets indicating that ATI has a huge problem with its drivers.

They haven’t made their drivers like Nvidia who have managed to deliver standard drivers that works on every single game at very high speed. ATi makes drivers that are optimized for a few games and test programs and is the wish something else then one has to find all sorts of tips and tweaks. That isn’t a big problem for the user that knows about such stuff and has the time to do it. If you on the other hand are an inexperienced user then you might not discover the lack of performance in the game and might generally experience graphical problems in a lot of games.

This is a mistake that we hope ATi figures out how to fix within a short amount of time since it’s been a major reason for people not to buy ATi based cards. It simply because takes to much to make it work in an optimized way.


LOL :lol: :roll:
