8800GT!, 112 Stream processors over time, it will stand out well, where as the 64 SP of the 9600gt will wane in its graphic efficiency overtime.

You know, why not o/c that presler core system of yours, I'm sure you could easily squeeze some more performance out of it...

I agree the 8800 GT seems like the better pic.

It goes

8800GT > 9600 GT > 8800 GS

yeah, performance wise, 8800GT > 9600GT > 8800GS at stock, but when we talk bang for buck, I like the 8800GS. There is also one for $110 shipped AR you could OC yourself. I think at 650/1900, that oc'ed model could often match the 9600GT. Price/performance at anything below 16x10 res my vote is 8800GS for sure. At 16x10 and above probably 8800GT. All fine choices...go with the best you can afford. I'm hoping to have a chance to review the 8800GS vs 8800GT, 320MB 8800GTS and HD3850. I'd love to buy the $125 9600GT to add to the review, but I can't justify it (currently no use for it afterwards).

BTW, I like these for the price:
$126 shipped AR 9600GT: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814261002
$110 shipped AR 8800GS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130332

Nicer cooled 8800GT for about the same as the evga. free game sweetens the deal.

you could always resell the 9600gt, since it does have a nice little MIR, I'm sure you could recover at least ~ 80% of that $126. that's what I do, when am conducting my own reviews. I usually get back on average 97% of my cost minus intial shipping.

True, but i'm not too eager to hit ebay right now, and my next customer build was getting one of the 8800GS cards. It's tempting and to be honest it's been in my cart for a couple days. Just resisting temptation to click submit order.

You know you want to, here's some practice for you!

Spoiler :

Submit order!

Reply to FrozenGpu

For that price, yes I do. I just can't find the time to start testing what I have. It's already an 8-card shootout in the works, which is 0% complete so far. But I know it's not complete without the 9600GT *sigh*

Reply to pauldh

Just repeat after me: "9600GT". Good, good. Now say "FTW". Excellent :bounce: :lol: :lol: :lol: :hello: :hello: :sol:

Raw peformance 8800gs is usually faster than 9600gt. With AA 9600gt has the upper hand. 8800gt is best when it comes to raw or AA over both cards.

Very true.

Reply to two bit hit

^ As an owner of all three(but have not tried the 9600GT yet), I still think at $100-110, the 8800GS and 9600GT offer more for the money. At 1680x150 and above the 8800GT would be worth the extra in many games, no arguement there, but overall I think it's less bang for buck then these killer $100ish AR (in USA) cards. I guess it comes down to the games, resolution, and gameplay expectations.

I say the 8800GT.. You get more for... more money

Who in their right mind looks at graphics cards and wonders "Geez, which one will give me the best performance for my dollar?" You should say "Ok so my budget is $XXX what card will give me the BEST performance for what I'm willing to spend?"

Yeah, I agree. Or also the "I want to play these games at this native resolution, which would be the best use of my money?" I think moreso than CPU, GPU you have to look into more variables than best just general bang for buck.

You might need a new power supply but maybe you can get away with 9600gt.

8800 is little more power and eat up a tiny bit more.

You are really pushing with either if you don't have a decent power supply.

Check it out. These people got it working on their 300 watt OEM power supply. Maybe it will be O.K.
