Palit NE/9600T+0152 GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Nice card for the money, didn't have to buy an additional GPU cooler from Zalman. Seems to be rock solid and runs cool.

Cons: N/A

Other Thoughts: Current Rebate makes this a steal

Manufacturer Response:

Very good. Our coolers seriously rock.

Pros: it came with Tomb Raider.....

Cons: Bought this card along with everything else for a custom PC, it ended up frying my motherboard and ruining the power supply I had. I wasted way to much time and money dealing with this issue trying to figure out what was ruining the MB.

Manufacturer Response:

I'm very sorry to hear you've had problems. If you would like to contact me at support@palitmultimedia.com I'll do everything I can to help figure out what the problem is.

Pros: HDMI, decent gaming performance. Great choice for a HTPC. Hard to beat at current price. Replaced an 8500GS..Vista experience went up from 4.6 to 5.9

Cons: Just the fan speed noise while OS loads.

Other Thoughts: Glad I bought it. Fast to arrive from Newegg. I have mine hookep up to a sharp 32 inch 1080p LCD via HDMI..looks incredible.

Manufacturer Response:

Awesome card for the money- glad you like it.

Pros: Wow, when I bought this card a couple weeks ago, there were few reviews, now there are 80+.
At the current price, this card is an absolute steal, not to mention the rebate, which I missed by a week.
It has been rock solid for me. I haven't tried any games or benchmarks. I use it mainly for video editing, multimedia creation, and office apps.

Cons: It would be nice if they BIOS'd the fan to low speed during bootup, since it is pretty loud until the Windows drivers kick in. But that is a nit.

Other Thoughts: Sytem: Vista 64 Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DQ6, G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 SDRAM, 3ware 9650SE-8LPML RAID Card, 3ware BBU-MODULE-03 Battery Backup Unit, Seagate ST3640323AS 7200.11 640GB Hard Drives (4 in RAID 5), PALiT NE/9600T+0152 GeForce 9600 GT 512MB

Manufacturer Response:

This one is a little slow to kick down but at least it won't burn up if the PC hangs during boot. That's the reason for the delay in spin down.

Glad you like it!

Pros: Palit's 9600GT has HDMI, low price, and comes with a free tomb raider game. The fan is about as quite as your going to get from such a small fan.

The card can play everything at max settings and resolution on 1080P (30+ min FPS). The only game it can't play maxed out is Crysis (tolerable medium settings until towards the end 20-25FPS).

Cons: The card has become unstable after 4 months of game play. Randomly started to crash in World in Conflict and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. Originally had it with an Athlon X2 4400+ and then put it in with a Intel E8500. The same artifacting and bsods happened. This will only occur when stressing the video card.

I have never been able to get the audio over S/PDIF working with 2 different motherboards. This is a disappointment considering every ATI card has audio over hdmi out of the box. The heatsink on the card doesn't touch the memory and makes them rather hot. Also almost no accessories come with the card (not even the S/PDIF cable).

Other Thoughts: The card is a great buy if it doesn't become unstable. The game is pretty useless and could be dropped to either add more accessories or drop the price. I sent in the barcode for the 40 dollar rebate from palit and now newegg says they won't replace the card because they don't have the barcode.

With the closeness of the radeon 4850's to the 9600GT it doesn't make much sense to get another 9600GT.

Manufacturer Response:

Hi Blazer_123,

Sorry to hear you've had problems.

We will be happy to replace this card for you. Simply fill out the RMA form at http://www.palit.biz/main/rma.php?lang=us to get that done. No worries about the barcode, we don't require that.

Pros: HDMI/Low Cost/Easy Rebate/All plugins from compiz works flawless, connectivity to an old TV as well as new LCD. GRID works withno issues at all.

Cons: Yeah the fan is quite audible during starting, but once the drivers are loaded it becomes quieter than the proccy's fan.

Other Thoughts: Definitely recommended for the price and rebate.

Manufacturer Response:

Thanks for buying a Palit card!

I'm glad you didn't have any problem with the rebate. We don't tolerate "rebate runaround" and if anyone ever experiences that with a Palit card they should contact support@palitmultimedia.com immediately.

All video cards are supposed to start up at max fan speed to make sure they don't overheat if there is a problem getting to the OS or something.

Pros: PALiT, fairly new Nvidia GeForce manufacturer but Excellent Product! Well built, 512MB GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, Very Over-Clockable, DVI, HDTV, One of the few with a HDMI Port... Perfect for gaming and all your graphics needs! Fan & Heatsink design does very well with this card. High Performance, Low Cost... I highly recommend it!

Cons: It's not a 280 ;)

Other Thoughts: Offers many features at an affordable price! I built a machine for a customer a few months ago with this card installed. The customer is a avid gamer and graphics designer. He has expressed to me on many occasions that he is very satisfied with this card.

Manufacturer Response:

Thanks for buying a Palit card!

Hahaha, it also doesn't have a 260 price tag on it. All around a great card and I hope you enjoy it.

Pros: This card is sweet. I can play all new games on maxed/high excluding crysis... that's about a medium high. It also really helps windows vista out. I upgraded from a 128mb 6150LE that was just not cutting it. I get about a 5.9 on windows performance rating now. it was like a 3.0 so that upped it alot. in the end this is the card to get. I mean look at the price? and you get DX10! which it can run smoothly:]

Cons: eh none really hadda take out my onboard modem to make better airflow for the card. but thats not a con for my graphics card its a con for my case being small. the fan isnt really all that loud when you start up the computer. but your gonna know its there and runnin.

Other Thoughts: Runs devil may cry 4 on ultra high cod4 on the highest setting Grid on the highest setting. oblivion near the highest setting fear maxed out. on all these games i get an average of 60fps. in my opinion this looks better then a 360. almost comparable to a ps3. I know devil may cry 4 looks better on this card then a ps3 for sure.

Manufacturer Response:

Thanks for buying a Palit card!

Pros: custom board design, OCs to 750/2000 easily, temp maxes out at 45C, everything runs nice and smooth, included game is a nice thought

Cons: none at all

Other Thoughts: use R***tuner 2.09 and up to OC and control fan speeds, don't even put the included driver CD in your system and just download the driver from NVIDIA

Manufacturer Response:

Thanks for buying a Palit card!

It's always a good idea to make sure you have the latest drivers from NV. We do have an overclocking utility that also controls fan speed but RIVA is outstanding. i would recommend that as well.

Pros: PRICE,HDMI,External and internal SPDIFF input,512MB GDDR3 256 BIT,HDCP,Bring my window score to the max on both Aero and gaming using Vista 64-Bit.

Cons: The fan is notable at star up and here and there but still not as bad as old PC's fan so not big deal,not better than 8800GT's series but close.

Other Thoughts: PHENOM X3,500GB HARD DRIVE,VISTA 64-BIT,600W PSU,4GB RAM UPGRADING TO 8 SOON,SONY BD DRIVE EXT.
