I am a newbie in this graphics card business, i have short list two 9600gt's. Here are the specs....

Point Of View GF 9600 GT:

Graphics Engine : NVIDIA 9600 GT GPU
Video Memory : 512 MB
Core Clock : 650 Mhz
Memory Clock : 1800 Mhz
Shader clock
: 1625 Mhz
Memory Speed : 1.0 ns GDDR 3
Memory Bus : 256 bit
Interface : PCI Express 2.0 16x
RAMDAC : Dual 400 Mhz
DVI-I : 1x
HDMI
: 1x
TV-Out : Yes
Video-In : No
HDTV : Yes
Unified Shaders : 64



Leadtek WinFast PX9600 GT:

GPU NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT
Graphics Bus PCI Express 2.0 (fully backwards compatible with PCI Express)
Memory size 512MB GDDR3
GPU/Memory clock 650/900MHz
Memory data rate 1800MHz
Output Dual Dual-Link DVI, HDTV
Memory Interface 256-bit
Data bandwidth( GB/sec.) 57.6
Fill Rate(billion texels/sec) 20.8
Stream processor 64
RAMDACs (MHz) 400



Which model is better performance wise, and why??? Thanks!!

They are the same, they have the same speeds on core/shader/RAM. Buy the Leadtek (better known company) unless you need the HDMI of the P.O.V.

They're both running the same frequencies, they perform identically.

Wat nvalhalla said

but doesnt the leadtek have a lower Memory clock than the POV?

no. We are counting GPU memory frequency at x2. So 900=1800. If u want a good 9600gt, buy a MSI. Dual slot cooler - nice room for over clock.

ooo.....ok, thanks everyone....
