Is it worth it to change from the TI4400 to the 9600XT ? I know the 9600 has
256mb but the reviews are not exactly stunning ?
Cheers

Yes and no. Depends on what you expect. The 9600XT will give you full DX9
support, which the Ti4400 doesn't offer. It will also give you AA to remove
the jaggies and AF to sharpen texture detail with a lot less performance
penalty.

But if what you want to do is run older DX8 games and you're not a stickler
for image quality, keep what you've got -- or wait until Half-Life 2 and
Doom III push you over the edge.

Look bro, it's ofcourse not the 9800XT but the 9600XT is a very fast
nice card... for under 200 dollars! You get what you pay for.

The 256Mb version probably is a small tad slower as the 128Mb because
of fast memory being expensive and they rather put 256 Mb slower
memory on it then making the price to high.

Again you get what you pay for, generally it will be a fine card that
runs fine!

Yup, quite a no brainer actually... only in certain DX8 games it might
be slower then the ti4400, but then only in CERTAIN DX8 games,
...remember DX9 is the future!
