i say keep it, i saw in a magazine where they had used a 9600xt on 8X and 4X and saw less than 1 fps difference in all games, i think the newest game they ran tho was doom 3, so if that is all accurate then keep the graphics card and 9 or 10 is my answer... good luck if i get some extra time tonight i will test my graphics card on 8x and 4x, im only running a 5200 ultra tho... but ill post my results
