The default variant of the Radeon 9600 XT is as fast as the Radeon 9500 Pro, but I'm not sure how much driver optimization plays a role. Without shader model 2.0-optimization the Radeon 9500 Pro/9600 XT beats the Geforce FX 5950 Ultra. With shader model 1.4 or different setups the Radeon 9600 XT/ …

It's the same with the penetrating light shafts in the Playstation 3-version of the game. But maybe that point of the map …
