Second review I have seen on the 9600gt and pretty impressive numbers considering the price range of the card. This one is using a Zalman cooler looks decent

If they would put 256 shaders on these suckers they'd be what the 9800gtx should be. It saddens me that their is such potential thats not taken advantage of. It saddens me more that AMD messed up and we're the ones paying for it with neutered new tech and G92 refreshes.

I'm not trying to bash nvidia either, it is in fact just business. Intels kinda doing it to but at least they are releasing some crazy stuff. Just my two cents.


PS. off-topic but Mac do you got that Proc of yours OC'd?

I have to drop my 2 cents , in this .
Last week i got my new rig , and i decidet to go with the 9600 GT.
Mostly becos from what i heard and read befor buyng it . And the main factor was the price , whit was even lower that normal cos they given the gigabyte cards in promotion . So actualy i did get the card , almos at the price of Radeon x1950 Pro .

PS. At the shop i got it , the cards are sold out , and ther is no date giver for next supply to come. I search for so low price 9600 cards on other shops for my friend , but sadly dint find one. But normal price for them in poland is still very low.

PS.2 Actualy this card and the "overclock like mad" cpu was great picks , for very low price i did get kick ass system.
