BOOM, BABAY!!,

This review is from: ATI Technologies Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB DDR Video Adapter (Personal Computers)
I have a 1.33GHz AMD DDR Athlon with 512Mb RAM. Slow by many standards. With my stock graphics card, playing online flight sims was a joke - even when I lowered the resolution to the 2nd-to-lowest position. So, I was flying a boxy plane and STILL couldn't get the frame rate to shoot anyone down.
Rather than look into a new computer, I gave this a try. Installation was a little tricky for someone as computer-illiterate as I am, but I did it all by myself (ie., if you know ANYTHING about these cards, then you're a step ahead of me). Bottom line, I can now place my resolution settings to "High" and get ultra-smooth frame rates. If I bump it up to "Highest" the frame rate is a little slower, but still better than what I had with my stock card and "Low " settings before. I was told that this card is the best for your buck and has a really nice clock speed compared to many other cards (even 256MB cards). Get this one while the gettin's good. rich

Wow, okay. There's just a little bad information going on here. :) First of all, the 9600XT is hands-down, without-a-doubt the best graphics card you can buy for the money right now. considering that the 9700Pro (what, a year ago now?) whipped the pants off the GF Ti4600, I think the reveiwer below might want to reconsider his installation steps (removed your old drivers? firmware updates? stop using synthetic benchmarks?) you obviously are missing something-- check benchmarks on any reputable online reviewer (*cough* hardocp.com *cough*). Surely you're not suggesting you run FarCry/UT2K4 on a Ti4600 with no problems? *smirk*Really, I can't believe I saw this card with a 3 1/2 rating. It really does deserve better. No, it's not going to beat an X800XT (neither will anything else right now), but then again it doesn't cost $450-$500. Show me a better card in this price range. I guarantee you Nvidia doesn't make one. Maybe someday, but right now ATi owns the top and the middle of the market, and they deserve it.

This review is from: ATI Technologies Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB DDR Video Adapter (Personal Computers)
I didn't really have a chance to shop around and had to choose between this, a X800, or a nVidia 6800GT, that was it. Given my income and rig (a P4 2.4) i didn't think bleeding edge was what the doctor ordered, so I said what the hell and ditched the old GF ti4600.
Well, ho-lee crap, what's that about an average 67fps in Half-Life 2 with all detail settings turned up, 4XAA, 8XAF @ 1024x768? MORE than happy with those numbers for the price. How about Doom3 at 800x600 detail medium-high at steady above 60fps? Not too bad for a 2 year old rig. The Catalyst software suite is very nice, though since nVidia also makes great drivers these days it's kind of a moot point. One thing to note, using ATI's Overdrive utility I have experienced some system hangs, particularly in HL2. Switched to Powerstrip and now I've got it lethally Oc'd on factory cooling and stable as a coffeetable... go figure. In short, this card will run any of the current gen of games well enough for 99.9% of gamers. With full DX9 compatability, it's even got a shot at next-gen titles. Highly overclockable, well-priced, and reliable as can be. Great buy!
