9600gt review....

I have SLI MSI 8600 GT OC 256meg cards, do you guys think thats up to par with a 9600 GT OC?
 
Don't think so...

They have same amount of processing units, but 9600 GT OC should have higher clock frequencies. Not to mention that G94 is more optimized than G84
 
I just read some review (it was posted on this board somewhere) and it showed the XFX 8800GS to be in between the 3870 and the 8800GT so I would expect the GS to be faster. But they are selling the EVGA 9600GT for $195 shipped on newegg and its running at 700mhz, so that card might be faster than the GS, maybe cheaper too, I don't know the GS pricing.
 
Given the 9600 GT performance we have seen today, I would think that the 9600 GT may come in below the GS.

The recently “released” GeForce 8800 GS will be a limited GPU in terms of production. Do not expect more than 100,000 GPUs to be shipped worldwide, but soon. ASUS will supply Asia, Palit will supply China, EVGA will supply North America, and XFX will supply Europe. The GS is an “inventory solution.” The 8800 GS is 192-bit bus and will ship in 320MB, 512MB, and 640MB versions with a trimmed down number of stream processors as well. Will fall in line below 8800 GT but above the 9600 GT.

Unless the GS is like $50 cheaper than the GT, I don't see much point in it. But keep in mind the GS was a VERY limited GPU to run out some mounting 65nm inventory.
 
well, considering the 9600GT will hit my country in no less than a couple of months, i will go the GS way for now.
