ATI 9600 Performance
22% is a huge boost for the 9600 based card here.
This time, performance doesn't increase as much with AA/AF as it did without.
Here, our findings with JK:JA are repeated in that we get less improvement from moving to AA/AF.
The lack in improvement may be due to the amount of memory on each card. The higher end cards have more memory and can handle AA a little better for it, so we might not be able to regain as much performance from AA by simply increasing the core and memory speeds with these cards.

The Seagate HD: Barracuda 7200.7 PATA ... I'll add that to the tablemostlyprudent - Wednesday, February 4, 2004 - link
Nice article. A passively cooled 9600XT?!...I've found my next video card. There is one thing that I am unclear about - the Seagate hard drive used in the test setup - is it an SATA drive?
