Nvidia 9600GT details

I'd say it will be slightly slower than the 8800GT

Supposedly up to 90% performance increase over the 8600 GTS.

, It should come with 512mb ram...Looks like it might have 512mb of ram
This could be a superb bang for buck card (all round specs look solid, SPs, clocks, mem, etc) and could be sub £100... if it is this could be the one I go for...

Finally, what could be an actually decent mid-range part (and I mean actual midrange not 'hey look, it's a little cheaper now let's fob it off as a midrange part!). Twice the power of its predecessor. Awesome.
So going by what we know already it's gonna have:
650Mhz core speed
1800Mhz effective memory speed
16ROPs (judging by the lack of difference between the 8800 GT and GTS in this department, it'd seem that this number is dependant on the memory bus)
64 shader procs (from a different rumour, however, they said 'roughly twice the speed' of the 8600 cards so this seems very likely)
32 TMUs (seems the shader:TMU ratio on D9 cards is 2:1)
Hopefully the shader clock gets a boost because I can see that being the limiting factor in this card...
At a guess I'd say the difference between this card and the 8800 GT will be greater at lower resolutions, but at higher resolutions the gap will shrink due to them both feeling the bandwidth burn.
What's odd though is that looking at this and the 8800 GS, they're both going to be relatively equal but better in completely different benchmarks.

The card looks ok however having only 64 stream processors will gimp it compared to the 8800 series.
If lightnix is correct above then it will simply offer around 70-75% the performance of the 8800GT which sounds about right given the drop in stream processors.
