It should be no surprise the Radeon 9600XT's come in last, after all it's a mainstream card. I would say it still does pretty well for itself here though.

You wouldn't really want to play Gun Metal 2 at 1600x1200 with any mainstream videocard... 13FPS just isn't going to give you a good gaming experience.
