A while age some of us heard of a rumor going around the net that Nvidia was coming out with a new graphics card, something in the 9 series. Most of us thought that this was bull****, but now we are forced to eat our words...
The Nvidia GeForce 9600GT is avtually here. On EtremeTech forums, a guy claimed that he picked up one from his local Best Buy and even toock a Picture, most people said that it was a box error but a confirmation email from BFG confirmed the claim.
Now EtremeTech gives us the insides and specs of this new graphics card. On my opinion, this is pretty much a beffed up 8800 but for WAY less the money, your average 8800 is around $200, this a pretty beffed up 8800 for about $20 less, now dont be fooled, $20 can get you a long way. This beast has got some astronomically high factory clock, the only down side is the cut-down of the stream processors, take a look for your selves at ExtremeTech's review.
Thoughts: I would wait till this card get more publicity and support in games. Otherwise I thinks this is a great alternative to an 8800 for less money. Imagine this beast in 3-way SLi.
