I used to have a 9600 non pro (sapphire), but got a solid deal on a 9500 pro (which I overclocked to a 9700) about 6 months ago. I must say that the 9600 did not perform as well as I had hoped. In certain games- America's Army Ops for instance- I would get hit by a flashbang and my pc would freeze. In Call of Duty in certain sections of the game the card would suddenly falter and I would get an error message of a VPU critical recover. I thought that the card might be faulty, but after replacing it I suffered the same problems. In my opinion, the 9600 is not a very strong gaming card. And yes, I am sure the rest of my pc was not at fault, because as soon as I switched to a 9500 pro my difficulties disappeared.
