The 8800GT would outperform the 9600GT, more stream processors and faster clocks.
I'd say 4850 or 8800GT, the 4770 is slower than a 4850 and pretty much the same as an 8800GT/9800GT, and a 9600GT is the slowest of any of them.

Watch for black friday sales coming up...might be able to grab a 5750 or 4870 for cheap.

i have a 9800 GTX+ BFG OC Its only like 30 bucks more. the 9600 is good but if your gonna spend the money on a 8800 get the 9800 GTX+ OC by BFG instead. is there a specific reason you want to decide between those 2? power supply limitation? MOBO limitation? if there is no real limitation read below
its factory overclocked
(BTW i spent AGES looking for a good graphics card for the money i recently built a new comp 3 months ago.)
9800 GTX+ OC by BFG is like 130 dollars, 1GB video mem and pretty much out performs the 8800 GT in every way
And there is the 4850. I dont know but i feel that card is for mainstream games like WOW or CS or CSS but wont perform to newer games.
MORE PROs!
if you built a comp and you have 2 pcie 2.0 slots you can do SLI with 2 9800 GTX+ OC's
They are very reliable going dual SLI and will probably perform for many years to come. Right now you only need 1. I have one with a e8500 at 3.16 Ghz and i can run crysis warhead at enthusiast settings at around 30-45 FPS and if i turn down shadows to mainstream everything is smooth. And anti aliasing 4X.
If you ever need more power which everyone wants
all you gotta do is buy one more for $130 and there you go, no more upgrades for a LONG TIME!
Im into all the newer games and obsessed with playing them at max settings so the 9800 GTX+ OC is pretty much my savior >.<

ok so lower memory and shader clock on the 4850 means its better? not to mention less fill rate. slower core clock speeds, i think its slower by 150 Mhz.... please facts.
A 4850 and a 9800GTX+/GTS 250 are pretty much equal. Really overall the GTS 250 is (slightly) faster.
