The Premier Gaming Card
The e-GeForce 9600 offers 512 MB of 256-bit GDDR3 memory with a 57.6 GB memory bandwidth. It offers full Microsoft DirectX 10 with full Shader Model 4.0 support, delivering unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects. The card is built on NVIDIA's unified architecture with GigaThread technology, a massively multi-threaded architecture that supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next-generation shader programs.

The card's NVIDIA SLI Technology dramatically scales performance by allowing two graphics cards to be run in parallel. This must-have technology for gamers delivers up to twice the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences. It also features an integrated NVIDIA TV encoder with HDTV and S-Video outputs, and dual DVI connectors, which let you drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays (up to 2560x1600 displays).

Other features include PCI Express 2.0 support, which increases both graphics and overall system performance, and Open GL 2.1 support, which ensures the best compatibility and performance for all OpenGL applications.

Although the 9600 GT is designed to provide loads of graphics solutions, you'll notice the biggest difference in gaming. This GPU delivers ultra-realistic graphics and outstanding performance for the best gaming experience. And with the unprecedented stability, reliability, and compatibility, your computer's graphic processing will only be outdone by your gaming prowess.

About NVIDIA SLI Technology
NVIDIA SLI technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce SLI media and communications processor (MCP).

Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic in each NVIDA graphics process unit and MCP, NVIDIA SLI technology delivers up to twice the performance of a single graphic solution. Basically, a pair of SLI-ready cards running in SLI mode can deliver up to twice the performance, allowing you to increase the detail or resolution in your favorite games. Plus, you'll get all this improved clarity without any interruption of your game play--your system will run smooth as glass.

To take full advantage of the 9600 GT's SLI-ready features, you'll need an SLI-ready PC. This type of PC consists of an NVIDIA nForce SLI motherboard and one SLI-ready graphics card, such as the 9600 GT. With the 9600 GT and an NVIDIA nForce SLI motherboard powering your PC, you now have the ability to upgrade by adding a second SLI-ready graphics card at any time. No other PC component upgrade can offer the gaming performance boost gained by adding a second graphics card.

NVIDIA SLI-ready components are backed by a rigorous testing and certification process to deliver an entire certification platform solution that ensures unmatched system stability and platform compatibility.

NVIDIA Windows Vista-Ready Benefits
The 9600 GT is a Windows Vista-ready graphics card that delivers a premium 3D user experience. This component drives the Windows VistaAero user interface and works as a second processor for the PC. The 'second processor' is dedicated to graphics, offloading work from the CPU for better performance in multimedia-rich environments.

With this work horse in your PC, you'll experience increased productivity with faster desktop response time and efficient multi-tasking without delay or stutters. It's amazing how much you'll benefit from instant access to multiple open windows and support for multiple monitors.

You'll also be pleased with the crisp, vibrant look of all your photographs--NVIDIA digital vibrance control delivers unprecedented color clarity. Photo viewing and management in high-fidelity resolutions makes presenting and browsing your collection a pleasure. With the help of NVIDIA Digital Vibrance Control technology, the 9600 GT also helps deliver ultra-smooth HD DVD and Blu-ray disc playback. Plus, this card also provides an easy output to your TV or HDTV.

Yet nothing quite compares the to rush you'll get from the ultra-realism of your games. The Vista-ready 9600 GT accelerates the latest standards in 3D, delivers unparalleled performance, and is best-of-class in stability, reliability, and compatibility.

First off, for all you gamers out there looking to buy a cheap but great graphics card.. this is the one to buy. I know most people are all wondering how Crysis runs on this, well.. here's my review: All settings on Medium at 1920 x 1200 resolution runs like a dream. All high settings with 1024 x 768 runs pretty smooth with little to no lag. And with all settings set to Very High plays, but does lag, depending on the res you set it for. Not recommended to try and run this card on Very High for too ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good but you should go for the 9800gt
I just bought this card and it runs really well. But for a little more you can buy the 9800gt and get significant performance gain. I returned this card and bought the 9800gt.
This website has an excellent review of the card. http://elektronikworld.blogspot.com/2008/09/9800gt-review.html

Should tell you everything you need to know about the card.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Flawed, but should be fixed by now
I needed a card for a budget gaming computer, to go with my Pentium D. It looked like a good choice, and it was...

I've got it running on a 305W supply fine, minimum recommended is 400W. Really happy with the performance, 1280*1024 and XP can max out settings on all source games, gears of war, bioshock etc..

However, the problems started when I tried playing Team Fortress, got the black screen of death issue. If you're ordering now, it should be fixed, but its the only reason ... Read More
