Well the 9600xt cards were the very first of ATI's DX9 line. The 9800pro and XT were basically souped up version of the 9700 with DX9 support similar enough to the 9600xt to allow them to hand out Halflife 2 preorder tickets along with both cards. So we're not really taking about different core architecture or generally much of a higher generation video card here. I know there are small differences with first the X300's. Different shader level support comes to mind, I'm sure there are other things. Perhaps it just supports DX9 to some extend
It's OK though. On my computer Stalker still looks just about as pretty as the first versions of Valve's Source engine.

DirectX is a compulsory application programming interface installation for Windows games, not a hardware serial number. There is currently no higher version available.
