Radeon 9600 was released on October 1st, 2003 GeForce FX 5500 was released on March 17th, 2004 with launch price $36.99 (But it also depended on VRAM size and memory bus) Note: MSI Afterburner can't detect core/memory clock on some old GPUs so it's not 0 MHz for 9600
Nice video. The ATI 9600 and later 9550 were much better than the Nvidia rivals 5200 and 5500. Back then I purchased an ATI 9550 and overclocked it from 250/400 mhz to 450/420 mhz, the core was stable up to 470-480 mhz. The ATI 9550 was very fast for a cheap budget card. The same with the 9600.
@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Radeon 9200 was the low-end series. R9550 was more like mid-range like 9600 because technology speaking 9550 was actually based on 9600 , just a little crippled. ATI: Low-end Radeon 9200 Mid-range Radeon 9600 Mid-high end Radeon 9700 High end Radeon 9800 Nvidia: Low-end FX5200/FX5500 Mid-range FX5600 Mid-high end FX5700 High-end FX5800/FX5900
Considering that FX5500 was a low-class I am actually impressed by it's performance here, I'm talking about the 128bit version. If overclocked a bit it'd be even better.
The Radeon 9600 on of my favourite card for AGP retro gaming. Please next time Radeon 9600 vs. 9600 SE vs. 9600 Pro. I really don't like the geforce fx series. There are a lot of bugs with Direct x9.
As soon as I'll get 9600 SE and 9600 Pro I'll compare them. 9550 vs 9600 vs 9600 PRO vs 9600 XT would be very interesting because they all have 128 bit bus. I agree with FX series. FX 5700 LE can't draw some effects in Half Life 2 even if it has full DX9 hardware support.

9600 was such a great card, and still keep mine serving in a retro rig. Was surprised at how long it was viable.
Good to see the new 4060 is using the legacy 128 bit mem bus. Truly paying a tribute to the legends.

they're different class, fx5200 and fx5500 were low-class and 9600 and 9550 were mid-class
@@Just_a_Lad the 9550 was a low-end card, only the 9600 was mid-end.

when I was a schoolboy I dreamed about 9600, and I had mx440. I tried not to even think about 9800pro.
My dream was GeForce 8800 GT and 9600 GT. I had only 7300 GS

geforce fx series was a disaster
