GeForce 6800 to the GeForce 9600 GSO

[ranger1942mike]

Hello all,

quick question: I've an older GeForce 6800 256MB video card that is starting to show its age a bit. I was on Tiger and saw a XFX GeForce 9600 GSO Video Card - 768MB DDR2 for only $75. I'm thinking about picking it up. I'm a casual gamer (CoH, COD, RoN, C&C) and I'm wondering if I'd experience any BIG benefits by swapping out for the 9600? More FPS, better resolution, etc?

Thanks!

With the 9600 GSO you'll have about 10 to 15 percent gain in your FPS but more if you spend $10 more for a 9800 GT and go for double the gain, about a 25% to 35%performance gain.

$90 after rebate
