If you wait a while the 9600 will probably drop in price, it's only as expensive as it is due to low supply and the fact it's only just been released, the RRP is about £25 less than what they are selling it for over here..


EDIT: Anyway, a nice review which compares an 8800GT and a 9600GT is available here, just click through the pages and checkout the FPS result graphs for various games if you don't want to bother reading the text.


ONE of the results from the review (there are several others to look at)



Generally the results show the 8800 is still top-dog in the graphics card market, which is unsurprising since the 9600 is nVidia's latest mid-range card, and the 8800 is a top of the range card. When the 9800 (?) comes out expect to see the 8800 booted off top spot. Therefore, if you have a choice between the 9600GT and the 8800GT for the same price, go for the 8800GT. As I said before, the 9600GT price is only higher because it's just new out.

ya crysis is a big thing for me..........but I think im gonna wait and increse my budget to get a 9800GX2 =D

They say you can sli it, but can you 3 way sli it?so possibly 512 stream processors in sli? O ya crysis you just died =D

GeForce 9800 GX2 will succeed the 8800 series of graphics cards. The heart of the new video cards is two G92 chips shrunk to the 65nm level. Specifications include 600 (core)/1625 (shaders)/2,000 MHz (GDDR3 memory). It also has 128 streaming processors per GPU, making it 256 in total. The installled memory is 1GB/256-bit, offering a bandwidth of 128GB/sec. Texture fill rate is 76.8 billions/sec.
