Nvidia 9600GT - pics and specs

Nice card, if its price around 20-30 quid lower than an 8800GT 512mb then that will be good. Need more AA tests but it does indeed look like its a lot more efficient with AA and is up there with the GT, might be a good card.
 
oh my god, faster than a 3870 expecially when AA is enabled. this card is stonking. wish they had a 8600gt/gts in that review too to show upgraders from those cards what to expect.

got to wait for firingsquad, anandtech and hardocp and tomshardware to get the tests up and then i can make a decision.

hope it really does come priced at 75 quid.

Time to sell up make some cash for me if it is 75 quid.
 
This is sounding like a great card for a Media centre PC in HTPC cases if you the kind of person that likes to play PC games in the living room. I mean if it's the same size has the 8600 then it will fit in my Antec Fusion case.

I still may hold out for news on a card such has a 9800GT or GTS has normaly GT and GTS cards aren't to big.
 
looking over those benchmarks the 9600gt is to the 8800gt as the 8800gt is to the 8800gtx.

high rez does the 9600gt in, not enough fillrate i guess since memory bandwidth is similar to the 8800gt.

wonder how much a 9600gt cost nvidia to make over a 8800gt?

also im not impressed with the 9600gt's load power consumption, i expected it to be a bit more lower than a couple of watts compared to the 8800gt.
 
Who here actually believes these cards will come in at £75?? NO WAY will this be lower than £100 for a good while, and more like £130. Nvidia are just more likely to hike up the prices of the 8800GT's to compensate for this new card in the market.

Also, the PCB's of these cards are a similar length to the 8800GT's, maybe 1cm difference, so it's still quite a large card.

I have to wonder why when some person sees it at an incredibly expensive shop that nobody has heard of before it's suddenly going to be priced the same everywhere. I mean, imagine if that world of personal computers had it first. :o
 
Just done a quick search on current 8800GT prices. Cheapest I've seen is £120. All i can say is Nvidia better price it circa £100 or else nobody is going to buy them. (OT - You can get 2x8800GT's for less than a 8800GTX and 3870X2!!!!! :O).
 
This card looks quality... I just can't understand how they say this is a replacement for the 8600GTS and yet it's priced the same as an 8800GT, even the performance is within sniffing distance, sometimes at 1920x too. They've priced it out of the market almost... I mean who in their right mind would buy a 9600GT for £125 when you can get an 8800GT for a tenner more? And at the same time if they HAD of priced it at £80, who the hell would have paid nearly double the price for an 8800GT? I think this is a bizzarre move from Nvidia, and imo they have released this card before the market is ready for it. They should have waited a few months.

Sounds like you want it to fail, because you have a 8800GT, and don't like indetically priced cards outperforming your own. You need to grow up a little.

Sometimes your posts make you look like an idiot. This is one of them.

Quote: The Bottom Line: Plenty of stock is on its way and the pricing looks great too. Best of all, performance is fantastic! :D

I’m going to guess at pricing starting at £85 - £115 depending on manufacturer.

It's hotter and noisier than a 8800gt - what they gonna be like in sli?

Performance looks good - I would guess for 512mb model will be talking at least £100 unless they intend to replace the 8800 256mb with this.
