"The Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro is the oldest of the four video cards tested but it's performance is still very good. Although the Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro lacks SM3.0 which limited it's performance with 3dmark 2006 it's SM2.0 performance is excellent which helped it deliver such great game performance. There was even a few times when the Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro actually delivered playable performance even using high quality settings which we designed for expensive video cards which is impressive."
