I primarily play WoW and am wondering how much of a difference if any upgrading to a 9600 GT will make....if any. Not really into the newest and latest games just WoW.
 
I would guestimate, figuring for Performance Difference between a Nvidia 6600GT to a 7950GT, wouldn't even be Close. The 9600GT will be a better performer all around. I have an Asus EN9600 GT 512 in my Core Duo E6850 and it's a Great Card. I can Play every Game I have at 1680 X 1050 Resolution, and Crysis Plays just fine. I also have Games Like COH, NFS:Most Wanted,Carbon,ProStreet, ET:QuakeWars, etc, and they all Play great. Now I have quite a bit more HorsePower than you, and it may account for some of my great Framerates, and Smoothness of Play, but even so I think you would see a definate performance boost, as it can keep up with 8800GT's all day long, and for the Price it makes it a Great Decision.
 
Yeah thats more than enough for WoW, but your current card is already more than enough for it. I haven't seen any WoW benchmarks on the 9600GT though, so I cant say how much of an improvement it would be.
 
You should know if WoW is getting slow-downs, but shouldn't be...
My 256mb hd3850 can max WoW on my 1950x1200 lcd at 100+ frames, and I don't even play wow.. only the demo, cause my friend kept bugging me about it.
I think I should've saved like $10 and gotten a older card =P.. (not really)
 
Yah a Geforce 7950GT video card is pretty good for WoW. Are you experiencing any issues with the 7950GT card playing WoW? If not, its really not worth getting a 9600GT as you will not get that much of a difference. If you did play the latest more graphic intense games then it would be worth the upgrade.
 
I can max that game out at 1280x1024 with my X850XT. You should be getting more than enough frames with the card you have, unless you're trying to push it to some kind of crazy resolution.
