Seems a bit overpriced but then again we are in SA. Better to get a 8800GT imo since it wipes the floor with this card for only R300 or so more.

EDIT: This is NOT better than a 8800GT, this is rather a replacement for the pathetic 8600 series so it's the new low end card. The only 8800 card this outperforms is the 8800GS which isn't even locally available.

For the price this card is awesome... I play all of the latest games on High or very high settings with this. Yes even Crysis i can play on Very High setting (DX9).

Believe me buy it if you can!

Wally Swart

Well. go see www.guru3d.com they have a full review of this card, and yes it can compete with the 8800gt, except in extreme DX10 games, where the gt outperforms it (but not that much) and it is way better than the 8600!!!!

Just a thought

Theo Lubbe

Probably a mistake. It's apparently meant to debut on Valentine's day.

Seems it'll be using a 65nm core with 64 processing units, 512mb of 256-bit GDDR2/GDDR3 (probably the latter) ram.

I think you're better off buying a 8800GT 512mb G92 over this; R400 or so more, and the perfomance ought to be somewhat greater.

I just bought 2! :-D

P.S. Sorry bout the formatting

EDIT: This is only a mid-range card, so don't panic that one doesn't kill a 8800! It is supposed to compete with the HD3850.

Johan Gerber

Cool,

I cant find any other site that has it for sale.

Nice one for Take 2!!!!

I just wanted to share my OC results for both 8800 gt and 9600 gt systems that I have. I built the 9600gt system for my Friend, and wanted to compare my 8800gt system with the new 9600gt System. Both machines are of Similar configuration except for the GPU. Here are the results:
