[Azza]

9600GT hit the market in Feb 13, earlier than expected

It seems they don’t care about NVIDIA’s delay notice at all, South Africa website Take2 have already begin selling 9600GT 512MB for 2107 ZAR, as high as 273USD( which we know the card is only worth $189 USD). If you are rich and live in South Africa, why not buy one and have a try?

Non reference MSI card

Gigabyte’s 9600GT is a reference card, but MSI keeps their style, prepare to release a overclock version 9600GT with a red PCB and red cooler. As you can see, the cooler have two heatpipe and a big fan. We can expecting the cooler have a good performance.

(From the PCB style and DVI connector personally i think the card is made by TripleX. )

The OC version 9600GT’s frequency is 700/1950MHz, and reference version is 650/1800MHz. besides all this information, no more detail info are given.

Gigabyte 9600GT card

Gigabyte’s 9600GT is a full reference card: from PCB to cooling system, from GPU clock to I/O interface, all referenced.

This is a mainstream card meant to replace the 8600GT.

They seriously need to stop making the cards so huge lol, We can't just buy bigger and bigger cases.

 

[MrNothing]

if they were to make that card sexier-er

add a black PCB instead of green and the 9600gt would look so sexy lol

Doesn't really need more bandwidth taking into account its other features. Only matches 8800GS in performance.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is so new about the 9 Series cards? Performance wise they seem nearly the same as before. But then again...I don't know much about them yet...

Makes the not so techies want the new tech.

Meh... cannot really see anything apart from that. I guess it uses its own new core rather then a cut down version of G92.

Nice to see audio-hdmi cables in the proposed packages.

They were promised in the 8600 - across the market - but not all of them used it.

hmmmmmmm 8800GT or 9600GT in terms of performance and overclockability?
