9600XT, hands down. The ENTIRE GEFORCE FX LINEUP make up what is the SINGLE BIGGEST FLOP in the history of the graphics card market, if not the computer industry as a whole. NOTHING on this scale has been seen since, oh... the Edsel.
The GeForce FX cards are all basically totally incapable of running standard DX9 code at anything more than a slideshow pace (even the 5900/5950 can't do DX9 at reasonable resolutions with playable frame rates).
Get the 9600XT.

Better yet, go to Newegg and order a 9500 Pro. It was the best card out of the entire 9500/9600 series, and it's faster than the 9600 XT.

From what I see, the 5700 Ultra could beat the 9600XT. The price factor is practically null since the dif is less than $10. I personally would go with the 9600XT or a 9500 (and mod it) if you can find it.
It wasn't the 9500 Pro that everyone wanted, it was the 9500. This was so because it was a 9700 Pro with 4 disabled pipelines just by flipping one transistor on the GPU package, and then later by softmodding the card.
