difference upgrading to the ATI 9600 XT

I don't think this upgrade would please you.
Why?:
- in raw performance, the 9600xt is not that much better than the Ti4800
- 9600xt is significantly more expecsive than the 9600pro, for an
essentially neglible improvement in performance

If you want a real upgrage, the 9800pro is a great buy atm.

DX8 ? not much....I self have a 9500 Pro and my performance is around
the same as the 9600XT/Pro. DX8 is on the FIRST eye not faster, but
you now can user higher anti aliasing/ more Aniso ... it just make it
look better.
DX9, ah yes, ATI as is known makes card very capable of showing DX9
effects without losing much performance.
It's not a direct upgrade... from a GF4 ti to a 9600XT/Pro it's a
sidegrade. But a sidegrade to DX9. And i'm sure the 9600Pro/XT will be
fine for atleast 1,5 year to come

The 9600XT is the card I've been waiting for. How they managed to pursuade
people to buy a card that was slower in DX8 than there GF4 I shall never
know. And Nvidia where also as bad with their 5200.

given the strengths/weaknesses of drivers I think you may see a little
better performance in D3D but you'll certainly loose in OpenGL and as for
Dx9 - whoppee f***in doo!

So in the real world for games like Deus Ex 2, Star Wars: Galaxies and other
DX 9 titles - there should be improvement?
