In 3DMark 2001, the Radeon 9500 Pro performs better than the 9600Pro at all resolutions. Pixel pipelines are apparently more important than engine clock speed.
In the 3DMark 2003, the Radeon 9600 Pro just trails behind the 9500 Pro, even beating its sibling by a narrow margin at 1280x1024 4X AA 8X AF.
