Too bad ATI doesn't make the 9600........

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.

wud be impressed if there were a few npcs and a wide open town environment.

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.

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

THIS VIDEOCARD IS A WARRIOR!!!

amazing.....I've seen people playing some of today's games on it...

[Quake3Bits]

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

lol u laughed at urself

[Quake3Bits]

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)
