Expect a price premium when they first ship. Also 256meg variants will be $169 I'm thinking.

I'll say the 9600GT 512MB will win against the 3850 512MB, since Nvidia won't release something weaker. --------------- "Nvidia, the Way It's Meant to be *Lesbian Lover Club* - founder Assman |

They seem neck and neck to me. The only thing 9600gt has on 3850 is texture performance but 3850 have better shader.

Actually, there is not likely to be too much of a price premium.

Actually, the 3850 512MB can be found for about $180-$190. Sometimes as low as $170 with rebates. And that's not even considering the inevitable price premium when the 9600 first ships. Might not be able to find one for under $200 at first. Depends how other cards go with their prices.

so basically this card sucks and was released to compete directly with the 3850 and possibly the 3870? I don't get it. the 9600 series should be better than this? but it does show that nvidia can still produce a less expensive card that performs well. it's about time ati forced them into this price bracket. :-p. which is good for all of us in the long run. I will still stick to my original planned purchase of the gigabyte 3870 512 ddr3 for 210 with nwn2 considering the review it got (yeah, i found one for the gddr3 model.. it actually was slightly better in a few cases against the "one off" ddr4 models. I attribute this to high quality parts. but it's not an earth shattering change... considering it have an almost unnoticable performance hit compared to the gddr4 models in a few cases. either way, it's at least 20-30 bucks cheaper than any other model, has a pretty fan and a game... so i'll be happy. :-p ($30 fan + $50 game = 80bucks off imo, brings the price down to $130) IT"S A NICE! :-p
