That's just lame.....

Cheesus · April 8th, 2008

Well... I suppose this makes the 8600GT obsolete. Decent replacement I suppose.

NexXxus · April 8th, 2008

9600GT is not an 8 series card...

If only they'd made a version of it with 128 SPs... or even 96 SPs would do better than 64! Only 64 and the card performs almost on par with a 128 SP G92!

Lol this sounds like alphabet soup

Fadingz · April 9th, 2008

I have a feeling that a few years from now it will become 123123900GXTXOGTXOX10

Phil · April 9th, 2008

hey that sounds awsome! you know, if they put actual names to there products, they would sell better. same goes for cars. A Mazda "Miata" sold better then the new Mazda "MX5"

cottonvibes · April 9th, 2008

i think they're going to start calling them something like

9800 hardc0re edition.
9900 l33t edition.

Phil · April 9th, 2008

well then they would get sued by porn companies for the first one

cottonvibes · April 9th, 2008

or maybe they'll become one

Fadingz · April 9th, 2008

9900 Emo...
9900 Stfu

If I recall your scores got raped by mine and my card has a 112 SP. (And you have a much better CPU then me though I have no idea if you had the xeon during those tests).

Your card

Quote:

1024 x 768:
Max FPS: 60
Min FPS: 40
Average FPS: 52

1280 x 1024:
Max FPS: 45
Min FPS: 30
Average FPS: 36

My Card

Quote:

1024 x 768:
Max FPS: 76.81
Min FPS: 38.59
Average FPS: 58.74

1280 x 1024:
Max FPS: 55.85
Min FPS: 37.54
Average FPS: 47.19

In shader extensive games, especially when the res is pumped up, the 9600GT falls behind.

As for the renaming, how lame, but you cant really blame them, as long as theres no price hike, who really cares, my feelings from the start have been the 8800GT/S should have been marketed at G9 cards.

Your overclock was higher, for starter.

But I was comparing my 8800GTS G92 and my 9600GT, and on the same test bed, the OCed 9600GT can easily exceed the 8800GTS at stock. Of course your card would do better when it's overclocked, but that doesn't mean that with the same clocks, the 9600GT cannot do as good as yours. My core clock stopped at 730MHz, for starters. I'd love to see a 128 SP G94 just to see how much better it'll be.
