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 675MHz, 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.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Time for an actual review apart from people who don't actually own their card giving their 50 cents. I just now bought it and tested it on Crysis and TF2. Upped everything on high on Crysis, on TF2 everything can be maxed. Everything. Considering the price, this card is delicious and just what I needed. I'd rather pay the cheaper price for this card than 400 dollars on a card that presses it only slightly higher. Best bang for the buck unless you just need 100 fps on Crysis.
Cons: Flimsy computer case just about cut my finger off putting it in.
Other Thoughts: I owned a HD 3850 before this one for about a weak..overheated horribly and had to use a cooling program just to game. This one performs far better and was worth every penny.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: This card outpreforms the 8600 by a huge amount, it is slightly worse then the 8800gt and the 8800gts (g92) but the difference is nearly unoticeable. It is the new mid range card for playing Call of Duty on High, Crysis on High/medium and WoW on very high
Pricepoint is amazing, get it while its in stock
Cons: Worse then the 8800gt and 8800 Gts. Not mainstream yet so not throughly tested
Other Thoughts: Awsome Card, Buy

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat low - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Amazing card, all though I bought an XFX version at best buy and over payed about $30 I dont really regret it. I run games with no problems, ex. Call of Duty 4 Max Settings 1680x1050 Resolution and x4AA I never lag, And Company of Heroes with everything almost at Ultra and x4AA, I get 36.2 Frames in that game, Far Cry 2 1680x1050 x2AA and everything on max graphics no problem. Simple one of the best cards per $ value out there I dont care who you are or what you say I am simply stunned by one of these. My friend has a GTX260 and it barley out performs mine. He gets 40.7 Frames in CoH same graphics settings.
Also very easy to overclock with no significant heat.
Cons: I over payed a little more than I wanted but have no regrets.
Just as long as a GTX 260
