9800GX2 like a sexy casket
Is the price around Rm2.5k - 3k ?

eek...9600GT black and slim but can it tapau 8800GTS 320MB ?

two words
STOP DREAMING

Well, i doubt so. It was meant to replace the 8600GT series which was not really that powerful after all. And with 8800GS in the market which are somewhere around or below the 320MB GTS, i really doubt the 9600GT would be able to compete with the old GTS.

Considering again this is Nvidia, who knows they might suprise us again like what happened to the 8800GT.

IMHO....9600GT are PCIE 2 version of 8600GT.....owh....and DX 10.1 also

LOL..I am not too exciting about the launching of 9series as off yet. The reason is simple - the 9600GT ain't gonna be considered as upgrade for me while the GX2 is definitely going to be too expensive for me to own. LOL..Well, guess i need to wait for the 9800series then..

only heard news about 9800GX2, how about GTX series ?

yeah just wait n seee...btw recently nvidia>ATI

uhm..
by refer to the experience i got
no matter how strong the 9600 will be,
it CANT be beaten 8800GT with only 50% of 8800GT.

i also doubt it can conquer 8800GS also.

And, now days, i realised that Nvidia step up with the tactic used by ATI last time: SKY HIGH 3DMARKS
and so so in FPS, so they picked to turn off some of the features in the driver to push up the FPS.


i not yet had my hand on the 9600GT yet, but i am quite sure that this 9600 wont be too strong. since NVIDIA anounced it as the purpose to fight 3850, it wont run far

never-ending graphics advance technologies...

9600GT delay for 1 week, the rest delayed to March.

hint: rumour

however the launching date is delay

but, normally it will comes to market earlier 1 we call it sendiri diam diam launch

Well, that depends on how you look at stuff. FPS wise, yes, Nvidia have the upper hand but IQ wise, ATI has always been in front. For me, the HD3870 makes the fight a lil bit more equal.

Good point Do not have high expectations on the 9600GT. Thats what killed off the 8600GT last time when people are expecting it to beat the crap out of the 7900GS. I guess, it would be stupid for Nvidia to create the 9600GT in order to compete with the recently launched 8800GS though. It should be somewhere around that range but should be slower.

8800GS is more like a temporary filler for the 9600GT. Once that is in, they will phase out the 8800GS.

Means, the lifetime of the 8800GS would only be around 1 - 2 months? Or they are basically the same card with different name?

sadly, but i think the same also at the early stages.
but now, several prime AIB already have their 8800gs ready to be delivered, i believe the life of 8800GS is extended longer i believe.

why not, its more profitable for them to sell 200mm² chips rather than 300mm² chips.

!@#$%^&*
DAMM, i wanna buy the GeForce 8500GT2-OC and then the eForce 9 series came out
shit....

boss, the launch of GF 9 totally wont effect ur buying

Hey guys,

For those of you considering 9600GT vs 8800GS and comparing to previous 8600GTS, see this benchmark here:



If all indicators are correct, then 9600GT price/performance will easily beat all the past (8600GTS) and current competitors (ATI 3850).

We will upload 9600GT and 9800GX2 specs hopefully by tmr on our website (see below).
