Is the 9600GT even that bad?

AMDGuru2011 · Feb 5, 2014

AMD Phenom b45 x4 2.9GHz
4GB DDR3 1600
2TB HD
9600GT 1GB GDDR3
700W PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

just through a 9600gt in my rig and it plays pretty much every game decent even battlefield 4! so why do people say its bad?

Because it doesn't play it on extreme above 30 fps.
I think that if it runs at a decent FPS no matter what options are selected that it is fine.

Its not that bad. Just old and outdated now, it can also not utilise direct x11 also what fps/settings were you getting on bf4?

AMDGuru2011 :

Its not that it's "bad", it's just that it is becoming outdated. Depending on your resolution, the card may still perform up to your standards. But the card is becoming less powerful at resolutions like 1080p and above. Plus, with newer games releasing and using more VRAM the 1GB is also becoming less useful.

i had it set to medium settings, 1280x1024 with about 20-50 fps 20 being the lowest

i agree, but not everyone plays at such high resolutions or 1080p? i dont get what all the fuss is about HD dosnt even look that nice to me?

As with all graphics cards a measure of its worth generally comes down to two things. Frames per second on the current generation of games and Direct X support. The 9600 GT won't support DX11 for example so you'll be missing out on some eye candy in BF4.
