Gigabyte 9600GT Review

When NVIDIA unveiled their first 9-series card in late February, the 9600 GT, people looked around and wondered what there was to be excited about. After all, we knew that NVIDIA brought nothing that notable to the table, except for higher clocks and good pricing. However, as far as I am concerned, the 9600 GT is the most interesting card of the 9-series bunch so far, even compared to the brand-new 9800 GTX.

The stock-clocked 9600 GT effectively kills the 8600 GT and rushes up to stand right behind the 8800 GT. It has fewer stream processors than the 8800 GT, but is clocked higher and luckily, doesn't suffer from a small memory bus or density.

From a technical standpoint, the 9600 GT is a fantastic card all-around. As we've come to expect from NVIDIA in the past, a x600 GT card normally denoted one that was targeting budget gamers, and the performance normally reflected that. However, the 9600 GT blows those assumptions out of the water, because it comes so close to the performance of an 8800 GT (especially overclocked), that it would make a great choice for pretty much anyone looking to save money on an upgrade or a new build.

Last week, I took a look at ASUS' EN9600GT TOP, which impressed me quite a bit, not surprisingly. Though I appreciate ASUS' desire to send higher-clocked parts, it's hard to do a proper comparison between makes and models without a reference-clocked card on hand. Thanks to Gigabyte, we have that here today. The big question I have is... could it possibly overclock as high as the ASUS model did?
