Get the 9600GT. It's a better card than the 9600GSO (= 8800GS). Also what is your exact PSU?

HIPER 480w TYPE R

Some sites show the 9600gso beat the GT

9600GSO

Notice the Crysis benchmarks.

I saw the benches you posted those results are due to poor drivers and hacked BIOS.

There was a thread on this @ Xtreamcpu about those results and that was their conclusion.

The 9600GSO with 96 stream processors and 384mb ddr3 can outperform the 9600GT when overclocked. However, you don't have this listed as a choice. From the cards you listed, I'd go with # 4. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127333

9600GT.

I was going to find some benchmarks between the 9600GSO and the 9600 GT for you, but hardly anybody even benchmarks the 9600GSO (at least legit sites that I frequent).

At stock settings, I can't see how a 9600GSO can best the 9600GT.

Like Shadow said though. That 9600GSO could have been adjusted. The benchmark link you provided, even says at the bottom that folks can "Softmod" a 9600GSO into an 8800GTS. So these guys could very well have hacked their model.

Regardless, that benchmark is provided through a Blogspot account. Which is like reading benchmarks off someone's MySpace or Facebook page.

^Exactly. I would post the link to the xtream cpus forums but THF censors the link. Those of you have been here for the last 3+ years will know why and who runs xtream cpus. Most of the old folks that used to be here at THF went there.

The 8800GSO/9600GSO has a small advantage at lower resolutions and without AA; overclocked it is larger. Add AA and the 192-bit memory bus cripples it, while the 9600GT takes less of a hit.

Softmodding a 9600GSO to an 8800GTS can only be done on a 9600GSO with 8 memory chips instead of 6.

 

[yung_jot09]

which can be overclocked better GT or GSO?

I believe the GSO. The GT can be decently overclocked, but it's not a "monster" by any means.
