9600GT Questions
I see that the new nVidia 9600GT cards are out and doing high core clock and memory clock numbers, but they also have fewer "stream processors" than the 8800GT cards. What does that mean? That the 9600GT cards aren't as powerful as the 8800GT cards? Will the 9800GT cards have the higher "stream processors"? - Scott Smith: MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/choppersmith |

What does that mean? That the 9600GT cards aren't as powerful as the 8800GT cards? Will the 9800GT cards have the higher "stream processors"? A 9600GT is not as fast as an 8800GT, and the greater the resolution the more pronounced the difference. It's missing 48 shader stream processors. In DX10 games like Crysis at 1280x1024 and above, the difference becomes even more dramatic. A decent high performance OC MSI 8800GT 512Mb costs $216. A decent high performance OC 9600GT is $180. That's $36 well spent. The 9800GT cards are supposed to have 128 stream processors with somewhat higher standard clocks than the 8800GT. I'm certain the difference in performance even with the 9800GT vs 8800GT will be marginal given the stated clocks and specs. I would expect it to be like the 7800GTX vs 7900GTX. |
