The NEW 9600gt :D.

Sorry, we are really late on this, but nvidia's new 9600gt just came out!! :D. It is a card that is priced around MSRP $180. It most benchmarks , it is a little bit behind the 8800gt, and performs on par with a 3870! Now Nvidia finally has a competitor to amd's 3850 and 70! And the future 9xxx seiries look promising :D. So far the only OC'ed 9600gt is evga's 9600gt, which ups it from 650Mhz to 675Mhz, but doesn't budge the memory clock. If I bought my pc now, then I would have an 9600gt instead of a lowly 8600gts now :( .. :P lol.
