Asus 9600GSOs at £36 on OCUK for (T)his (W)eek (O)nly

Interesting but I've never seen a 9600GSO/8800GS with 512mb of RAM that had 96 shaders. It's normally only the 384mb and 768mb ones.
 
Very intresting how they have relocated the chip on the pcb layout...
and a few sources say its a G94 chip - but very odd spec's with 512 of ddr2 and a lower 128 bit system bus.
Not a good gaming card - but might fold well
 
ok, so how does this stack up to a 8800gt? 8800gt uses a 256bit bus doesn't it?

Also, does anyone know of a site which lists all the nvidia cards and which is faster as I find the whole 8xxx 9xxx 2xx thing so confusing! :(
 
Here goes :p (for folding performance, gaming may differ slightly)

/man that's sad I could do that, without looking stuff up :o

What would be better for Seti, 2 of these or 1 Palit GeForce GTS 250 ?

Based on pure shader grunt, a GTS 250 would be a much better bet, 128 shaders vs 96. Even more so if clocked. Although someone who actually does Seti might be able to offer a better opinion :p

Wow the 8800GTS 512mb is faster than the 8800GTX! :eek: I think this may be my next purchase.

Thanks for the list, at least I know roughly what goes where now. :) Nvidia haven't exactly made things easy with their stupid numbering system! :rolleyes:
 
Only for folding, since they both have 128 shaders, but the GTS can clock them much higher. For gaming they throw punches quite evenly.

That's good to know, I think the GTS may use less power tho, as it's newer?

I prefer lower power cards, less heat therefore noise... :)
 
It uses less power, and it has a better heatsink design. However I found it's nosier when turned up to 85%+, but that was due to heavy overclocking.
 
Yep.

Not to rub salt in the wounds or anything, but I did email your trust about my 8800GT which was for sale :( Since you were posting in a number of threads with them in.

Sorry for not getting back to you - I can only check my email from 1 computer, and I often get so many messages that a few get lost or stay unread if I haven't checked my email in a while... :o

I need it to replace an ageing 7800gt, but I'm in no great hurry as I'm not into my games as much as I used to be. :)
 
Ah, bugger :/ Thought they were good based off the apparent specs :p

Have mentioned this in the Customer Service Forum.

Just passing by :p I happen to own this card and noticed that it does have the 96 shaders you are talking about! or maybe not? I'm a noob so I'm not sure if the shaders on the CPUZ screen are the same that you are all talking baout?
