Post by: Solatar on December 23, 2003, 01:04:23 pm: Yeah...I have a 9000 Pro in my AGP slot. Specular doesn't work at all in the tech room, but in-game, if there's a colored sun you'll get some.

Post by: Drew on December 23, 2003, 02:45:11 pm: i bought the dam thing a year ago. It cost like $130. The R. 9500 were *just* released.

Post by: Solatar on December 23, 2003, 02:50:38 pm: ditto, got mine for Christmas. I think the 9500 or 9600 were the l33t things to get.

So, enough arguing over whether it exists or not, can the specular bug be fixed?

Post by: Unknown Target on December 23, 2003, 03:15:41 pm: Kazan, there is a Radeon 9000 BOARD. Specifically a 9000. I used to have one, before it got fried by a power surge.
