ATI去年才開始有賺錢,前幾年幾乎連季虧錢,之前ATI為了一些原因還要被罰錢,ATI的財務狀況有點吃緊,ATYT不論在規模與獲利上都遠遠小於NVDA

如果沒記錯~
tnt2 m64 從來沒有頂級過

這是tom姆熊對NV 31/34的評論之簡體翻譯
(翻譯站翻不出來?)

“……再没有打开FSAA和各项异性过滤的情况下，FX 5600 Ultra与GeForce4 Ti4200-8X和Radeon 9500Pro相当，这可能与其减少的像素流水线有关（NV31实际为4x1或者叫2x2，而NV25是4x2）。在4x FSAA下，FX 5600 Ultra有几乎双倍于4200的性能，同时也击败了4800，但是仍不及Radeon 9500Pro。在个性异性过滤的测试中情况与上述类似。在3DMark2001的Pixel Shader测试中，5600Ultra击败了4200和4800，但是在Vertex Shader测试中不及二者，同时这两项测试都不及Radeon 9500Pro。

FX 5200 Ultra比FX 5600 Ultra稍慢，在抗锯齿和各项异性过滤时，稍微慢于Ti 4200，如果使用性能优先模式，则快于Ti 4800。

……我们现在可以说，FX5600和FX5200在对抗ATi新产品的时候决不会轻松……”

-----------------------------------

However, we can already give you some of our first impressions about the performance of the new cards. In the standard tests without FSAA and anitotropic filtering, the FX 5600 Ultra seems to be just about the same or slower than a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 8x and Radeon 9500 PRO. This might be due to the reduced pixel pipelines (4x1 alias 2x2 (NV31) as opposed to 4x2 in NV25). With 4xFSAA, it appears to reach nearly double the performance of the 4200, beating a 4800 as well, but it loses out to the Radeon 9500 PRO. It's a similar picture with the anisotropic filtering. In the pixel shader tests from 3D Mark 2001, it beats the 4200/2800, but loses in the vertex shader tests. In both tests, it clearly loses to the Radeon 9500 PRO.

The FX 5200 Ultra is quite a bit slower than the 5600 Ultra in the standard tests. In anti-aliasing, it's just a tad behing the Ti 4200. It's the same with anisotropic filtering - at least in Balanced mode. In Performance mode, it even manages to beat the 4800.

We'll have more for you on this in a few days, including extensive benchmark tables. But this much can be said for now: the FX 5600 and 5200 cards won't have an easy time against the new ATI products

看來GF FX5600Ultra連R9500 PRO都比不過(不管有無開反鋸齒)
何況是接替R9500的R9600了

TNT2 的產品又不是只有TNT2-M64.....
TNT2-ULTRA.TNT2.TNT2-M64.TNT2-VANTA....

TNT2與TNT2-ULTRA 在當年可都算是當紅炸子雞呢....
TNT2-M64 與 TNT2-VANTA 本來就是低階產品....

sorry,我說的太籠統...
我指的是這幾年的市場佔有率
並不是誰公司創的早

R9600(RV350)其實也是比9500Pro還要慢，其實不用比看規格就知道了，4x1對8x1、2組頂點對4組頂點、8:1 Z壓縮對24:1 Z壓縮，所以9600才要用.13製程，用高時脈搭配高速記憶體來拉高效能(也可降低成本)。
