PALiT make a good card?

1GB of video memory on a 9600GT will yield zero performance improvement over a 512MB card. Zero.

Get an 8800 GT (or better yet, 8800 GTS 512MB -- far better card) instead.

Newegg user reviews are useless.
 
Ok, thanks for the info. It's been a while since I've had to decide on a new video card, so I appreciate the advice.

I do have another quick question though. The specs for and MSI 8800GTS, as the one I posted above, are for PCI-E 2.0, the specs for the mobo don't say 2.0, does that make a difference?
 
PCIe 2.0 is backwards compatible with PCIe 1.0a (which is what all P35 based boards use). So long as you put the card in a full 16x slot (which the MSI P35 Neo2-FR has) it will work perfectly fine, with no performance degradation or anything.
 
i have used Palit cards. For example their Geforce 7600 GT were pure gold every way. They are reliable cards which are cheaper and better overclockers than others and they usually have better cooling solution than other cards.

Palit is the biggest single customer of Nvidia. They practically own Asia's markets and they are big player in Europe as well..and newbie on North America.I think that the amount of cards they make is responsible for their card prices [Yes they make all of their own cards..G80-core based cards were exception]. Palit has bought Xpertvision, Gainward (their graphics department), Galaxy and there were word that they were going to buy Inno 3D.
 
Gainward were great. I love manufacturers that make their own cards rather than buying things referenced.

Gainward still are! Gainward still does non-reference cards and now days they are different compared to Palit versions..some models even better than Palit-brand..
 
yup i love my palit card :D

also most reviews on newegg aren't bs unless people are very ignorant or dont even own the product.

edit: 10 dollar rebate??? why bother?
