Since the cards are identical, except for the cooling and colors, and run at the same clock speeds, we decided to skip time-consuming individual tests and just determined the ratings with the reference card. When it came to the overclocking tests, though, we gave each card an opportunity to strut its stuff. To give an idea of how the Radeon 9700 PRO performs, we've compared it to the "small" Radeon 9700, the NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4400 and 4600, and to the equally expensive Matrox Parhelia.
