n short :i bought a v. card from Gigabyte: a strange one:
only trouble till now
the model is radeon 9600pro-ULTRA yes it is correct and never seen before:ultra
the difference between this ultra and the pro is +100mhz core clock on ultra:
500/600 ultra
400/600 pro
the strangeness goes on: the card should have a RV350 core!!
instead has RV 360 ---JUST LIKE XT
see the entire 9600 pro family including this odd breed: GV-R96P128DU:-u from ultra !!

i quote:4 parallel rendering pipelines process up to 1.3G pixels per second
a have run RIVATUNER 2.0 and AIDA 32 his is the result :RV 360
PIXEL FILLRATE:2000 M pixel/s
textel fillrate:2000 Mtextel/s
lock on this review with a more strange GV-R96P128DU :

note: mine is the one from GIGABYTE's web pege not the one with the big cooler from review
want people to know that gigabiyte appearantly replace that 9600pro-ultra chip set (the one from review,with that bbbiiiggg cooler) with a chip set from 9600 xt and a regular cooler
see the results from review:you will see aida32 showing the speciffication:
true for that card (with the big cooler) but on mine is written:GV-R96P128D-ultra
true story :when i bought it i freeked out becouse the merchant didn't gave me the card with the big cooler
he showed me on the gigabyte 's web page the picture with the card i bought
another wierd thing

n the box appears v-tuner with hardwere monitor

n the soft from cd. v tuner can only c.c ,mot monitor.
so i downloaded another v tuner:same thing:can't monitor!
