ATi Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB Video Card Introduction
Note: We made a typo in this review when referring to this video card as the 256MB Version. Sorry for the inconvenience. Again, this card is 128MB, not 256MB.
ATi not being content with their recent performance decided to up the ante yet again leaving NVIDIA to react. This time, it was the launch of their XT line of Radeons, specifically the 9600XT and 9800XT. To help quench our thirst for speed and one great price ATi gave us the 9600 XT.
Essentially the 9600 XT is combined of many enhancements, one of which is the new k .13 micron processing to help lower the voltage while squeezing out every last megahertz! Is the 9600 XT worth your hard earned money? We’ll take this mid-ranged card through the test course and tell you what we find!
The Radeon 9600 XT is ATi’s new mid-ranged video card targeted to the average Joe that doesn’t want to spend $500 on the Radeon 9800 XT so he can just play games at 300 frames per second (we don’t understand why he wouldn’t want to do that!). With their new process at ATi they found ways to improve their flagship, as well as the 9600 Pro and dubbed them the XT’s. Does the Radeon 9600 XT have enough power to keep you going over the coming months and with new games such as Half-Life 2 and Doom 3?
