GeForce 9600GT Price Confirmed!!

Source

So yea,with the arrival of this the 8800GS will become obsolete. Wonder how good will the HD3850 512MB perform against this baby. This is certainly cheaper...unless ATI drops the price on the HD3850's...

BTW:some early benchies from pconline.com.cn

Yeah, I'm expecting at least $190.

I want to see 3850 512meg vs 9600gt 512meg

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

AMD just sucks with Lost planet. I don't know why since it's an xbox360 port.

Hence why it sucks. And before you ask, "yes" I do dislike consoles these days.

Actually, there is not likely to be too much of a price premium.
I would actually expect them to possible go under those prices.

I just saw an MSI 8800GT 512MB for $199 AR.
With the 8800GT starting to go for near $200,
The 9600GT will have a tough time getting $189.

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

and have i been out of the loop or something? 8800gs? I'm going to go look one of them up now. :-p

a 3850 512 vs a 9600 512 chart you guys want?then you shall receive!(Well,kinda)
here's a 9600GT Vs. 8800GT 512


And here's 8800GT 512 Vs the HD3850 512


the difference between the 2 testing conditions are not much,because the 8800GT from the first graph scored only 2 points lower than the second graph. Therefor you can indirectly compare the 9600GT vs. HD3850 512.

well... i just took a QUICK peek at the bench... if i'm correct and they are on similar/same system?... then the 9600gt is in DIRECT competition with the 3850 and below the 3870, where as the 8800gs is still better, and in close competition/beat out by the 3870... 88gs is just under 200 and the 3870 is just over 200, depending...so that puts the 3870 somwhere between the 88gs and the 88gt... and the 3850 is right in line with the 96gt... all price vs. performance of course.

if this is all right... i think we may have a very well scaled and competitive video card market here very soon! :-p

9600gt is supposed to be a little faster than 8800gs. Should be here any day now.

I would stick to my 8800GT for probably another year. I'm planning on buying another 8800GT and putting it in SLI. The most I would do until the 9000 series architecture becomes a little more mature is upgrade laterally and buy an 8800 GTX or Ultra and work up to an SLI config from there, given that my mobo supports 3xSLI (hopefully they'll fix the stupid Crysis drivers)
