ATI Radeon 9700 Gold

[mwgorecki]

I will spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000 this weekend building two gaming PC's from parts. One of the items I intend to purchase is the ATi Radeon 9700 Pro. I have used <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com" target="_new">http://www.pricewatch.com</A> for many years to compare component prices. Yesterday I noticed the Radeon 9700 Gold under the Radeon 9700 Pro category. I have never heard of this Gold edition, and the ATi website has nothing about it. Does anyone know what it is and if it is different than the Pro version?!

I can only imagine they meant "pro" instead.

I believe the gold version has more software.

I checked pricewatch.com and I believe it's the R9700 non-pro. Yes, they are selling the R9700 non-pro.

 

[mwgorecki]

Then why would it be $100 cheaper?

Non-pro - got it.

But it says "Pro is also available."

It looks like what I found it is the non pro version but includes some software that the regular 9700 non gold
does not have. The gold version includes Fullervision, I do not know what that is.

I saw the powercolor one too. All non Pro versions but the gold includes more software. Very confusing!
