The card will be replacing the 9500 pro. Based on benches i've seen so far, I think it's gonna be faster than the 9500 pro. I haven't seen any head to head, but from the benches I have seen (9600 compared to ti4200 and ti4600) it seems to be quite a bit faster than the 9500 pro.
9600 is clocked higher than the 9500 but only has 4 pipelines compared to 8 for the 9500pro..
Asus A7n8x 2.0
AMD T'bred XP 2400 2.0ghz

Corsair XMS 512 2700 DDR

Radeon 9700 Pro(Bios flashed 340/325)

I dont think 4 pipelines will hurt performance much, of course in fill rate tests but in actual gameplay memory bandwith is king, which is why a ti500 is marginally slower than a ti4200
9600?
