9600GT or stick with 8800GT OC?

[GingerNinja1989]

Hey people,

I currently have an Inno3D 8800GT OC card, but have seen the 9600GT bandied about a bit on these forums etc. When the time comes, would I be better off eBay-ing my current card and plumping for the new one, or am I better off with my 8800?

I would keep your 8800GT, can't see much of a performance increase of this upgrade..

Have a Read through the 9600 thread. it would be a waste, its not much of an upgrade performance wise. stick with the 8800 unless youd make a profit by ebaying it.

If you want to downgrade go for it.

Guess I'll be giving that one a miss then lol. But I had heard rumours that the 9600 is supposed to murder the 8800. Just rumours then I guess?

probably one of the other well named nvidia cards that will be out later this year that you got mixed up with.

Why anyone would want to swap a 8800GT is beyond me, unless its to make money !
