OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
NVIDIA's ninth generation series of graphics cards brings cutting edge technology and advanced capabilities together for best-in-class performance. The 9600GT is the solution for all your graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and equipped with a PCI-Express 2.0 interface for the most up-to-date system. Its NVIDIA SLI technology doubles your performance range letting you use two graphics cards in parallel.

Support for DirectX 10, Shader Model 4.0, OpenGL 2.0 and NVIDIA's PureVideoHD technologies are also built in. The card's core clock runs at 700MHz, relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the 9600's 64 stream processors which are fed by 512MB of 256-bit 1800MHz GDDR3 memory. Twin dual-linked DVI and 400 MHz RAMDAC lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors.

The signal can also be output to other video displays via the S-Video and HDTV connectors for maximum flexibility. The 9600GT delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with brilliant clarity to give you an entertainment experience that is easy on the eyes – as well as on the wallet.

Avg Video Card.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 80 bucks for a 256bit/PCI-E w SLI is nice. Not as loud as everyone says. its acceptable IMO. Size is normal IMO. as long as you dont have a Slim case u r ok.
HDMI + Digital + Analog connection is nice.
Cons: Cant run WoW at best settings at 60 fps; FPS drops- Works ok at avg settings. 45-60 fps. 30 FPS n Below if you do 25 raids on avg.
Would suggest paying 50 bucks more if you plan on doing Shooter games. Have to play at LOW settings for Shooter games IMO.
Other Thoughts: Q8300 chip.
4 gig of OCZ ram.
500Watt PWS.
Vista 64bit.
Not OC ing. just stock.

Good for avg gamers. who do not mind avg shading, FPS, and colors. Cant get 30FPS at WoW at best. not even going to try higher demanding games.

3 Eggs cause it was bit of a let down. it said core memory was Over clocked to 700mhz. pffft. my old ATI 3870 runs better than this.

Min Power req is 400watts. (used 500watt on this build)
Fits perfect into my Dell mini tower. or Reg ATX case fine.
I can hear video card while not running anything but IE.

9600GT

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This card is shorter than reference design, it makes installation a breeze even in SLI with a HD cage in the way in my case!
Runs approx. 7 degrees Celsius cooler than my other reference 9600GT card!
Cons: No fan control, but it's quieter and cooler than my reference 9600GT with the fan at 100%, so not really a Con.
Hot air is not exhausted out of the case.
Other Thoughts: I'm running this card in SLI with my other 9600GT from EVGA (reference design) and it just worked out of the box. Couldn't ask for more! I'll gladly accept a Zalman quality 2-slot cooler for the extra cooling it provides over the reference cooler! And quieter to boot!
Note for some people, it does not have a Dual DVI interface, make sure you are not looking for one.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Zalman cooler, price, small size, quiet.
Cons: Single card not quite powerful enough for serious gaming at high resolutions. 2 in SLI about the same price/performance as my single GTX 260. Slight edge to the SLI setup for Source games like L4D2 with FSAA/Aniso. BUT some games don't scale as well as others with SLI.
Other Thoughts: If you want to have an SLI setup with the price/performance of a single mid-range card, these are perfect. I always wanted to play with an SLI setup and I'm very happy with the results. If you're upgrading from an 8800-series card, you'll be happy.
