I have seen lots of discussion about 9800 or 9600 card here, but not much
about 9700, is it a good card? why no one ever talk about it?

The 9800 is the successor to the 9700 series. It is essentially the same as
the 9700 but with a refined VPU, and faster memory. The prices on the 9800
cards are dropping and you may be able to get a really good deal on a 9700
somewhere, but generally the latter cards are no longer in retail stores.

my brother bought a secondhand AIW9700pro last week
- it clocks up to 9800pro speeds and is superb - cost him £80

It is an older card that is NOT DX9 capable, and so can't play the newer
games correctly.

Say What!?!?!?

How is the 9700 not DX9 compatible?

AFAIK Anything newer than 9200 is DX9 compatible.

And that does not mean that it won't work with DX9 based games. It only
means that DX9 stuff will not be used. FYI, I am using an anciet AIW8500dv
to play Far Cry just fine...
How am I not playing it correctly? It looks absolutely beautiful even on my
old rig.

What does that tell you?

You are WRONG!

Go check ATI.com, 9700 fully support DX9.
