In the months leading up to the arrival of DirectX 9, the topology of the 3D graphics market has changed considerably.
Nvidia, which had led pretty much since the original T'n'L GeForce, dominated the high end with its GeForce 4 Ti range and was finally ousted only by the almost premature announcement of the Radeon 9700 Pro - arriving almost six months before the API for which it was intended.

Since that time, the 9700 Pro has not only become the board of choice for most top-end gaming systems, but also spawned three spin-off products based on the same silicon: the Radeons 9500, 9500 Pro and 9700.

With reviews of Nvidia's latest product and first DX9 part - the GeForce FX -
arriving less than a fortnight ago, and the first retail boards this week, ATI is hot on its heels with both a refresh and expansion of the 9000 series in the form of two new parts, the Radeon 9800 and Radeon 9600.
