    OMG! I was thinking of selling my 9500 pro to get a 9600xt
    I thought 9600xt was much better than 9500pro.

    Im running a 9700 Pro and I run everything at high (auto-detect sets textures to medium... why?) and Im getting desirable framerates, but that benchmark has AA and AF on and is getting comparable results... by walk do they mean no explosions or other action?

    The 9500 Pro was a learning expierence by ATI, it has the same number of pipelines as a 9700 they were just disabled by software. You can get a bios flash and upgrade it to a 9700 and use all eight pipelines.

    The 9600 only has four and so it will not perform quite as well. The 9500pro is accually a 9700pro with a govenor on it.

    far cry also detected my system setting to medium with the following specs:

    p4 2.0 ghz
    radeon 9700 pro
    768 mb ram
    sb audgiy gamer

    but i play with everything on high and water on ultra or uber high or whatever it is. the radeon 9700 pro has been my favorite purchase by far. the card is amazing and as proved by these benchmark, it even out-performs the 9800 on a lot of the tests.

    yeah this is why I bought a 9500 pro a year ago and it's still a great mid range card... of course 9800 pro's are the same price now which is the new best mid range deal...
