My 7900 GTO is falling behind in times a bit so I wanted to upgrade it. At first I wanted next Gen but then I realized that wouldn't be out till the end of the year. GT200? I think that's the name. I can't justify buying a 9800X2 only to turn around and buy another 600 dollar card the same year.

So what do you guys think about the 9600? I'm thinking that will play all games out this year decently enough at 1600X1050 good enough. I just wanted to get some second opinions.

hmmm, lets see how well the 9600 preforms, and its street pricing first. The HD3850 might end of being a better choice still for the $150-$200 video card.

The 8800GT @ ~$250 might be your best option for playing at 1600x1050, though.
 
From what I read on the 9600GT, it will be faster than an HD3850 and slower than an 8800GT. They say online those 9600GT will sell for $169-$189 but, most likely it will be priced at $200 when it comes out. Also, there will be an 8800GS card to be released also. I believe Feb 14 these cards should be out. The 9600GT will compete against the 3850 and 8800GS to compete against the 3870.
