Great card for it's time ....Time's OVER!...Give this Card to your Grandmother so she can watch Matlock on Hulu! , Then get an Ati 4670 for AGP and/or ATI 5670 for Pci-e...
i had the 9600xt 256mb agp version until this summer and i could play games like crysis at low(very ugly) where other systems with dual cores and nvidia 7600gt were struggling to do.i think that 9600 was one of the greatest gpus ato produced for its time
It is a good few years old now so would be considered a bit obsolete I guess; I've no idea how the new crop of cards perform these days by comparison.
Short answer would be "yes", long answer would be that you'll more than likely need to drop the graphics/game quality and/or screen res to get a manageable frame-rate/performance out of something like FO3
You're looking at it ass-backwards (no surprise there), you need to do it the other way around if you want to know how something's actually performing; you don't use a scene that you know will cripple a card to prove a point because that serves no comparative purpose as you then don't know at what point the older tech is being effected by what they're rendering. You use a manageable scene and compare *how much better* the new tech renders compared to the old.
That's pretty much what I found when I had the 9600 installed... CPU upgrade helped a bit but Oblivion is just one of those games that will be pushing PCs for a few years.
well i wouldnt even concider using a 9600 on a game like this infact i got ride of mine and bought a X1900GT and then after 1 year i decided to go for the 3870 which is unbeatable well next year theres a mega game that can strain any computer and its due out april 2009 the sims 3 i have to update change processor to AMD 6400+ and 8GB memory just to play it without many glitches.
it was nice card ..

hes got a point though.
Its best if you'd have 3 scenes, one thats hard on the card, one thats easier, and last thats easiest, then compare the average frame rates,

Personally I'd just benchmark it instead of going to the trouble of all the extra work. What can I say, I'm lazy ;o)

man i have GTX 5500 - 256 mb and 2 pixeli shaders and 4 GB ram and i have all at max HAHA you need ram no video card

Yes no wonder.. with a card that old you won't be pushing nearly the same amount of data as newer cards so it'll *appear* better.

My 9600XT can only run oblivion on max detail with some antialiasing only on 800x600, it can't handle the game on 1440x900 even on lowest detail.

I can't remember now as it's a long time ago, but I think everything was maxed out in terms of texture resolution, bloom and HDRI were off
