ATI 9600XT Review with 5700 Ultra Comparison!

[DR]

TSMC's process enhancements have basically handed ATI a fall refresh on a plate, and combined with the new drivers, it almost feels like a totally different product to 9600 Pro.

Lots of core overclocking headroom (please please put better memory modules on retail boards if ATI's partners are listening), a decent price and very competitive performance. You can't ask for more than that.

Uh oh :S

From the Inq:

OUR FRIENDS at Hexus.net may not be too popular with Nvidia having matched up a Radeon 9600XT with a real FX 5700.

We tried to phone David Ross who is the chief editor of site but he was not available at press time, since he is obviously terrified that Nvidia might a fire mobile guided missile in his direction if he answers back.

He says on the site, however, "I can't talk much more about the NVIDIA solution or I may find a horse's head in my bed or something."

Should you have done comparisons from a POV of 1.0=9600XT on the graphs?

Tis a good review as usual though, but get them pics done please!
