Jump to PostWhen you want to install a new video card you should uninstall the drivers from your previous card and then you should install the drivers for your new card. I recommend downloading the most recent drivers at http://www.ati.com.
Jump to PostIn addition to that, if the previous display card did not have an ATi graphics processor, you should ideally format and reinstall before using the card.
But check that you are not using the card with detail settings set too high. A 9600XT isn't really a high performance card …
