Data surges through the 9600's 64 stream processors which are fed by 512MB of 256-bit 1900MHz 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.

In addition to supporting multiple monitors, you can 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.

Not worth the chance

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It had alot to offer and had alot of promise coming out the shoot. Maybe if and when they come up with a fix this card might be worth it. It's all manufacturers so appears to be with many 9600 GT cores.
Cons: Same as other users have mentioned. I got the black screen and then my monitor would go into sleep mode. Only way to do anything was to hit restart button. This is a widely known problem with the new Geforce 9600 GT's and it's not just limited to this model or brand. It appears to be a problem with Nvidia and not the card manufacturers. Wish this wasn't my first time buying an EVGA card I heard nothing but good things about this company.
Other Thoughts: When this card was performing as advertised it was really good. But when that black screen comes and you have to reboot it just got old real quick. There was a 13 page thread on EVGA's website in the community form about this exact problem. There really isn't a fix and getting a different card that was tested by EVGA and said to be fine still had the same results. I spent the same amount of money with the discount and a $30 mail in rebate and bought the MSI Geforce 8800GT OC. Hoping for better results this time around.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 1. This card is fantastic, it's definitely the best video card you can purchase for under $200. I would have bought ATI's 3750 if I hadn't purchased this card.

2. I'm able to play Oblivion on the highest graphic setting without any problems what-so-ever and Crysis on high with without a shudder.
Cons: 1. EVGA says that this card needs a 400w PSU. I would suggest purchasing or making sure you own a 550w+ PSU. If you don't, your game computer will crash after long periods of use.

2. If you like over-clocking your equipment, I would suggest purchasing one of the lower end models of the 9600. Since this version of the card is already over-clocked, and it doesn't over-clock well. It quickly becomes unstable if you try to over-clock it.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Single Slot, very fast for its price, 512MB memory, fast shader and memory clock. Runs all my games perfectly
Cons: Drivers still need to mature a little. Sometimes windows desktop has wierd flickering on secondary monitor. All i have to do is disable then re-enable the second monitor. Indicating that its a drive issue. Other than that no complaints.
Other Thoughts: All games run at 1280x768 on a 19" widescreen(Native 1440x900) Makes the games eaiser to play because stuff is bigger.
COD4 - MAX settings/16xAF/4xAA/70+FPS
TF2 - MAX settings/8x AF/4xAA/60+FPS
All of my other games except crysis can be run at MAX with 4xAA and get 50+FPS so all games are playable.
