ATI's Radeon 9600 Pro - Another Win for ATI

Jedi Knight 2

With the recent announcement of a successor to Jedi Knight 2 in the works (also based off the Quake III engine), it makes sense for us to continue to use JK2 as a benchmark:

Jedi Knight 2 1024x768 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 ATI Radeon 9500 Pro ATI Radeon 9600 Pro ATI Radeon 9500 NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500 197.1 196.7 193.1 188.6 186.7 185.7 120.3 | 0 | 39 | 79 | 118 | 158 | 197 | 237

Jedi Knight 2 1280x1024 NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 ATI Radeon 9500 Pro NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra ATI Radeon 9600 Pro NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 ATI Radeon 9500 NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500 189.0 185.1 179.9 176.8 161.6 138.9 104.4 | 0 | 38 | 76 | 113 | 151 | 189 | 227

Jedi Knight 2 1600x1200 ATI Radeon 9500 Pro NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Ultra ATI Radeon 9600 Pro NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 ATI Radeon 9500 NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500 155.2 149.9 131.6 129.4 115.0 99.9 59.8 | 0 | 31 | 62 | 93 | 124 | 155 | 186

Once again we see the GeForce FX 5600 Ultra and the Radeon 9600 Pro offering very similar levels of performance, but the Radeon 9500 Pro puts them both to shame.
