One Of The Best 9600 GTs You Can Get

I ordered an XFX PVT94PYDF4 GeForce 9600 GT when they came out in February for a little over $185. I saw this new XFX PVT96GYDF4 GeForce 9600 GT for $139 so I ordered 2 of them and received them today. They run every bit as well as the 9600 GT I ordered last February. They even come with the Double Lifetime Warranty which I called XFX to verify.

NONE. For $140 you can't go wrong!

The 9600 GT's performance is so close to that of the 8800 GT that it makes sense to save $60 or more and go with the 9600 GT. The 8800 GTS with the G92 GPU is better but it also costs $100 more currently. The 9800s cost even more.

Hopefully PC gaming will never die, but most games being sold are for the PS3 and the XBOX 360. The 9600 GT's GPU is more powerful than the GPUs used in the PS3 and the XBOX 360 so the 9600 GT should be able to handle most future games :) GTA IV better come out for PC!!!

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
DOA

Great specs, looks nice in the case, attractive packaging, easily installed...

Would only boot about 15-20% of the time, motherboard, via beep codes, said there was no video card present or video ram had errors. Essentially DOA.

First purchase from XFX and it's DOA. Call me odd but I decided to return and get another mfg's card. Replaced with an MSI 9600GT that was 25mhz faster and came with The Witcher for only $5 more. The MSI works flawlessly. Now I probably just got a bad card and I'm fairly sure that XFX isn't shipping duds on purpose, but this is what I experienced.
