Does this mean that the 8800GT had more stream processors than it could ever use, or will future games widen the difference between the two cards? Are there any other differenced between the two cards?
Also, I heard the power consumption and heat generation was lower on the 9600GT, is this true?
If I am only going to gain a few frames by going with the 8800GT, I'd rather save my money. But if there are other reasons to go with the 8800GT, I'll get that one.
Thank you.

from what ive seen and heard, the 9600gt cant compete with the 8800gt. i would definitely go for the 8800gt if you can afford it. im running crysis all on very high settings and getting smooth frame rates... for $275, you cant really beat that
