randomizer :
And yet it is only ~20% faster in most cases. The 9600GT is an amazing card, and it uses no more power than a standard 60W light globe.
It's a lot more than just 20%, in all cases. See benchmarks.

G92 8800gts is a high level card of the g90s generation, while g92 9600gt is a medium level card of the same g90s generation. It performs about the same as the high level card of the previous g80s generation (g80 8800gts), and a lot better than the medium level card of the g80s generation (8600gts). Which is still rather impressive, all things considering. Doesn't get it into the same league as g92 cards though (g92 8800gts, g92 9800gtx).
