Performances Comparisons With UT:2003
Some of the most advanced visuals to date

We saw more of the same when testing with Unreal Tournament 2003.  In every mode at 1024x768 and at again 1600x1200 with AA and Aniso disabled, the 9600 and 9500 Pros ran neck and neck.  At 1600x1200 with AA and Aniso enabled, however, the Radeon 9500 Pro surpassed the 9600 Pro, with the Radeon 9700 Pro still holding onto a commanding lead.

Benchmarks / Comparison With Quake 3 Arena v1.32
I have watched so many Q3 Timedemos, I'm seeing them in my sleep...

The Radeon 9600 Pro performed very well in Quake 3 Arena while overclocked.  At default clock speeds, the 9600 and 9500 Pro performed at virtually identical levels, but when overclocked the 9600 Pro sped past the 9500 Pro at both resolutions, and in all AA / Aniso modes.  Performance gains ranged from roughly 10% to 25% when testing with Quake 3.
