could it be that it has nearly half the shader units and costs a lot less?
given that though, it performs quite well and is the new price/performance king.
show me a $180 8800GT

Blahman said:yeah it's a good deal but still, Galaxy is not a well known brand, support is something I value pretty highly so I would still probably go with an EVGA or BFG 9600GT for the same price.
still, you found an 8800GT for $180 so good job. here's a cookie
Since when did a mid-range next generation card have the requirement of being better than an old generation high-end (more or less) card?
The GeForce 9600 GT continues in the same G90 series vein of the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB and GeForce 8800 GT. All three GPUs share the same architecture and transistor improvements over the older G80 GPUs
why is that the new 9600gt is slower than a 8800gt?
AMD is using same kind of numbering scheme. First number tells generation and second tells cards position in that generation. What about AMD's HD2000 -> HD3000 transition? HD3000 ain't new generation and HD3670 won't beat HD2900XT even when it has bigger number.Because it has half the stream processors! It's not supposed to faster than the 8800GT. But I'd say it's Nvidia's fault that you would think so given the stupid numbering scheme.

a billion benchmarks? maybe...
Not to mention a 8800gts for $179 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...OTC-pr1c3watch-_-Video+Cards-_-MSI-_-14127328)
You do know that is the old 8800gts... 8800GT would cream that.
NO.I know, but wouldn't it still be better than the 9600gt?
NO.
There are two versions of old 8800 GTS: 320MB and 640MB... and this 320MB version has same problems as do 8800 GT 256MB: It runs out of memory.
At 1600x1200 4xAA 16xAF,DX9, there's over 21% difference in favor of 9600 GT..but if you use DX10 and have those same AA/AF-settings that difference is 40% over 8800 GTS 320.
Actually thing is that in DX9 8800 GTS 320MB and 640MB are pretty close to each other, but in DX10 this 320MB simply falls behind
isn't the 9600GT, like the 8600 cards more aimed at HTPC users?
