so it will be priced at Rm1.6k ~1.7k wooot

Almost RM2k for a graphic card is ridiculous. How the heck an average person is gonna effort it is well beyond most people.

Given that most ppl get RM2k average salary for a start.

9600GT better be faster 8800GT or 8800GTS, if not might as well stick with the old cards.

Hopefully these new cards will be able to performed a lot better than the current crop of Direct X10 cards.

truth be told... if the 9800GX2 is priced around 2k and it works properly in quad SLI.....looks like i have something to look forward to in the near future ( aka paying credit cards bills )

EDIT: forgot to mention...of course... provided that the performance boost is significant enough for the money.

Sorry for having to be captain obvious, but those cards are obviously NOT made for the average person.

An average person can afford it...when people starts selling it off for better ones... Get second hand from garage sales~!

hahaha good answer from captain obvious

i wanted to wait for 9 series cards, but life without graphic card just too hard to live haha
and recently i bought 8800GT and it gives a hell of satisfaction. If 9 series cards are better and cheaper than 8800GT, i'l be regretting my ass up huhu..

get ur 455 ready... most probably u gonna regret them up...

9600GT sneak peek and benches

wont be faster than 88GT and it wont be..its just a midrange card

wat he trying to say is average ppl need those cards to play games like crysis...

and kianweic... ppl who don smoke, don drink, don waste money on everything else but dedicate themselves to their PC can afford it wif RM2k salary... of course not every month change lar...

If the price is ~RM500, this can be 3850 killer?

if it's 3Dmark06 is no lesser than 7k then yes...

now im starting in doubt whether to go for 8800gt or wait for the 9 series.....

from the review, the score is 10k

So the midrange also powerful enough to get 10k. I hope the high-end provide kick ass score.

well what card you using now? if you despo, then just get 8800GT lo. if your old card still sufficient 4 latest gaming at low, then ma wait 4 the 9 series lo.

what are u waiting for...
according to the rumours, geforce 9 series cards also use g92 chip...
so what's the point in waiting "next gen" offering from nvidia when they're just recycling their old gpus
btw, still deciding whether to wait for geforce 9, or g92 8800gts

Haiya bro... wat you mean by this statement? 9 series really kick 88GT ass?

9600GT loses to 8800GT


CES 2008: The same chip with 64 stream processors


Nvidia plans to launch its Geforce 9600 series, and we can tell you that it is the same old G92 chip. The specification of the card won't be that much different from 8800 GT, but we can tell you that the stream processor number will be cut in half.


The chip will have 64 stream processors and it should fit in the sub-$150 market and fight the Radeon 3850.


It should launch by the middle of next month.
