eVGA GF 9600 GT fast as the dickens
AquaMark3d benched this $120 card at 176,694.
Faster than my BFG 8800 GTO which benched at about 155,000. I had not even thought about upgrading my 8800 until I saw this on my test bench. Holy cat! And what I really like about this test card is it is quiet. At post, the fan is your typical nVidia fan ... loud and annoying ... but then it goes quiet once the PC is up. I did not test it in a game, nor did I look at cooling. Is the 9800 GT even better than that ? I just might be looking at an upgrade this Fall, if this is not a fluke. What about noise and temp control? I finally decided to put a Zalman on my 8800 ... and you can stick it, BFG ! I'm going to have a quiet card that lasts a year or so, and you can shove your tech support UP YOURS ! I don't want to go through that on a 9800 running even faster. I read all the reports on the failing GPUs. Gee, I wonder why ? That is what nVidia gets for all the lies about how hot their cards could run ... and the stinking sorry fans they are using. We all knew about this last year with 8800s sitting idle at 90 degrees C, and companies like BFG claiming that was OK. Nonsense. A Zalman can fix that crap in a minute, and the cards run fine from then on. Those GPUs aren't bad. The entire problem is the crappy screaming worthless fans that are on the nVidia cards. Not to mention the sloppy assembly job on those warped fan heatsinks that don't even contact the GPU. I knew this chicken would come home to roost. You are getting exactly what you deserve, nVidia ! johns |

I own both and have tested them extensively in both synthetic and real world benchmarks. Aquamark is an ancient synthetic bench that is highly CPU dependent. Your 9600GT got a score of 155,000 with what system specs? My E8400 box running at a stock 3.0Ghz with a Galaxy 8800GT 512Mb card gets 181,000. I normally run the system at 3.8Ghz.....it gets 220,000 with the same card at this speed. What does that tell you? |

Ah, don't seem to have come across him in the sober state yet then. He doesn't seem to understand certain fundamentals very well and that trips him up often. Not just on video cards. |

Cause an 8800 GT will walk on a 9600.
Not on the same boxes it won't. And I've never seen an 8800 GT break the 155,000 barrier in Aquamark. This 9600 GT sure did, and it is not a top card. To heck with the numbers. Just run one and look at it. Aquamark runs so fast it is a joke to look at on a 9600 GT. So what are you guys going to do when I get my $170.00 9800 GT this Christmas, and FarCry 2 runs perfect on it? johns |
