An AMD 9850 with a clockspeed of 10ghz does not exist.

The idiot selling it must have thought "Hey each core is 2.5Ghz and there are 4 cores so that must mean it really runs at 10Ghz!".

His brain must have shut off entirely when buying the graphics cards...

Not surprising really, the heat emitted from that CPU would be immense so thermal shutdown of the grey matter would be inevitable. :lol:

LOL, I doubt the seller did it because he thought it was true, hes just a master marketer.

 

@OP, yes, a 9600GT is a worthy upgrade. Also, dont waste your money on one with more than 512MB of RAM. The card is not powerful enough to use more than that.

 

EDIT: I just saw the mention of SLI in your original post. Does this system come with 2x 9500GT? If so, the 9600GT may not be much of an upgrade at all, if any.

Another route for upgrade would also be the ATI 4670, can usually be had for cheaper, but close to the same performance and less power consumption.

the 9500's are equal to an an 8600gt each i believe and my friend had 2 sli 8600 gts and they werent close to as good as an 8800gt. But the 9600gt has 16 less stream processors than the 8800gt, i think you should just keep the 9500's though. wait like 3 months until a 9800gt is within your budget.
