Running HL2 seems to be smoother on the 9600XT ..

Why is this ?

Is the 9700 the pro or non pro.


The Pro will be faster than the XT,


|Especially with AA enabled.

9700p, 8 pipes, 256 bit memory.

aiw are downclocked versions of cards i believe.

The 9700 aiw is the same speed as the 9700pro, not downclocked, and it should definitely be faster than a 9600xt. Try running some benchmarks or timedemos, or the CSS video test, it will be faster on a 9700p, unless something is wrong with the system.
