My friend will buy a Powercolor Radeon 9600XT!
How much FPS he had with this GFX card?

His System:
AMD AthlonXP 2200+
512MB Ram
ATI Radeon 9200SE
About 42FPS

he should expect a noticable increase i dont remember exactly what my framerate was with my 9600xt but i used to run lfs with 4xAA 8xAF 1280x1024 &max settings ingame at a decent framerate.

i have an x800gto right now.

alot, i have a 9600 XT from Sapphire (the 256 Mb version) and i get 60-75 fps with tons of custom DDS files, although soon ill be on two 6600 GT...

For too 6600GT (About 220€) you can get a X850XT PE(PCI-E) what is faster than 2x 6600GT

Thanks for the answers

im inheriting the 6600's, so i cant complain!

just put it on eBay!

I have now a AthlonXP 2400+ and i purchase a AthlonXP 3200+ "Barton" that i will clock up to 2400MHZ!
And I purchase OCZ 1024DDR400 premier!
How much will the FPS go up?

AthlonXP 2400+
PowerColor 9600XT @ ATI Overdrive
V-Tech 512DDR333
ASRock K7NF2 Raid

4xAA/8xAF about 65FPS

The memory should help as you will be stepping the FSB from 333 uptop 400, should give you another nice little boost!

I have
AXP2200+
1 GB ram
9500 Pro

and I'll can play LFS easily with 4xFSAA. I'd say fps is something between 40-70.

I've turned off only some useless stuff (like mirror details). In the starts I get very low fps, but even without 4xFSAA it would be a bit choppy in the starts when there's full grid of cars so I don't care.
