9600 XT or 9600 Pro

[Byron Hinson]

Which is the faster card out of the 9600 Pro and the 9600 XT? Just wondering
as I noticed the prices for ATI cards seem to be lower at the moment in the
UK so I may go and pick one up.

XT is faster, though PRO self is already damn fast, One problem with
the Pro.

Compagnies, that is a problem, some make PRO cards with slower memory
and sell it as pro cards.

It's legal, allowed but not nice. So instead of a nice card with DDR
300 you get DDR 200.

Ah, buy a card BUILT BY ATI, or SAPPHIRE and you are safe!

The Pro and XT seem to be the exact same card, except
The XT GPU runs at 500mhz
The Pro GPU runs at 400mhz.

Double check on the manufactures website.

The XT uses a new processor made using a different manufacturing
process from the Pro, which allows higher clock speeds. It also has
on-chip temperature monitoring to support ATI's "overdrive" automatic
overclocking.

The XT is the faster version and costs a little more.

I stand corrected
