My friend had me order him a 9600GT (he upgraded from a vanilla 6600 lol)

Well i plugged it into my system and it was an amazing card! crysis ran at around 18-20fps on a very nice custom config at 1680x1050 and around 20-28 fps at 1440x900. This was during a gameplay but it wasnt an open area. Still i am very impressed with the card.

For those who are considering it for 150! and even cheaper after rebate, the card is a bang for the buck! I did not know how good it was.

I feel like i really dont need a 9800GTX,

if you want a card to tie you over, get the 9600GT. I really want 9600gt SLI lol.

Question: Do you not consider 18-20 FPS to be unplayable?

This is no way intended to be inflammatory. I'm just wondering.
 
in crysis playable can be 20+fps. the motion blur helps heavily.


i just got my 9600gt today, its a great top notch card for a cheap price. im running crysis at 1680x1050 with all high and its really smooth. same with all other games, i can max it out. higher end cards are an overkill unless you use a 24" monitor.
 
I went through crysis in that range without any showstopping problems, it's really not worth it though in my opinion... lots of money in computer parts for a 50$ game... ugh.
 
so if the game itself cost $300 or so you would have bought the same parts with no regret? :p;)
 
another great example that 9600gt's somewhat low 3dmark score does not translate into real world gameplay. great.

well I think its more about moving the bar up and stressing our systems. What other game right now really stresses an 8800GTX. People need to justify spending money to upgrade. ;)


I actually played through the game like 4 times....didn't complete it 4 times mind you....mostly just the first part of the games...pre-aliens.
 
I agree the jungles are fun, and custom maps are good. But yea i found 20 fps to be playable. I played it at that fps with my 8800GTS 320mb when i had it.

my GTX of coarse gets like 30-35fps. But 9600GT all the way, this makes me want SLI.....

i keep saying it.

its amazing how good the midrange card is, thank god they got ride of the 8600GTS hahahah

I decided not to buy the game after experiencing 20fps with the 8800gts 320mb on the demo like yourself. I guess some people can live with that framerate; I'd rather not play the game.
 
yeah I have been saying these cards are bad ass since I got mine the day of release.

Crisis will average around 26FPS at 1680X1050 if you overclock it from 650 to 750.

Bad ass cards all the way right now I wouldn't recommend anything else unless you have money just dieing to be spent or a large monitor.
 
im glad im not the only one who has an appreciation for it. I really want to downgrade to a 19inch widescreen, but dont have anyone to sell my 22 inch to lol
