nVidia GeForce 9600GT

The GeForce 9600 GT should be the first card from the 9000 series to surface (right away) and it's time to get some 3DMark numbers on it. Using a quite powerful Core 2 QX9650 on an Asus Maximus Formula X38, we obtain something very akin to what the 8800GS can muster. These results are good news for you, because it was known that the 8800GS wouldn't last. It's this new graphics card that has to fill this market sector.

The 9600 works at 650/1625/1800MHz (core/shader/memory) and it's G94-300 based (not G92). If 3DMark doesn't cut it for you, here you will find a lot more: from technical specifications comparisons (between 9600GT, 8800GS, 8600GTS and Radeon HD 3850), to fully detailed chip surface measurements. Of course, the game list for the benchmarks is long, and not only includes 3DMark 2006 Ver. 110, but: Call Of Juarez, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, BIOSHOCK, Company Of Heroes Ver. 1.70, Crysis, Need For Speed: ProStreet, F.E.A.R, Unreal Tournamant 3 Demo and Colin McRace: DIRT.

In this case, "only" a QX6800 on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6 with two gigabytes of memory and Windows Vista (for DirectX 10 support) form the system setup.
