This latest generation of the 9600 line is built around ATI’s RV360 GPU, an improved version of the RV350 that pushes the 9600 Pro cards. The most notable improvements denoted by the “XT” branding are the introduction of a new insulator that has less capacitance than the old silicate glass of the pro line, and the inclusion of GPU core temperature monitoring capabilities. Obviously these are two major steps towards improved overclockability of the card and should prove to be quite interesting in the benchmark phases
