ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 vs ATI Mobility Radeon X600

ATI Mobility Radeon 9600

► remove from comparison ATI Mobility Radeon 9600

The predecessor version of the ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility differs by its low clock speed and the worse Z-compression (was improved with 9700). In the beginning it was the fastest graphic card, which was available for notebooks, but nowadays it is part of the lower performance segment.

Beware of versions with 32 MB memory, in most cases they only have a 64 bit memory bus, which deterioriates the speed severely.

ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro was a higher clocked version with 350 MHz core- and memory clock (compared with the 300 MHz in the standard version). Further only a version with 128 MB was allowed to get this name.

ATI Mobility Radeon X600

► remove from comparison ATI Mobility Radeon X600

ATI Mobility Radeon X600 is a lower middle graphic card for notebooks of the X000 series (also the 1000 series). Its performance is identical with the AGP chip Mobility Radeon 9700 (technically similar). The X700 is clearly better. X600 was replaced by the X1400.

Also a ATI Mobilty Radeon X600SE or X600 SE is inserted in some notebooks. This is a slower X600 with Hypermemory (only 32 MB own memory according to forum reports) and about 700 points in 3DMark 05.
