Articles on the 9600gt.

Remember the benchmarks in this are too close to call, 2fps extra is not a reason to pick a worse card in the long run.

First: Look at your one benchmark before you spread lies and before you try to put 9600GT down. 9600GT was getting much more than 2fps extra in most games.

Second: 9600GT is not the worse video card because it have better performance

The 9600 is pretty much a rehashed 8800gt, only with half the streaming processors. The frequency is high but it is a overall poor performing midrange card.

Your post clearly shows that you are biased and you are trying to put Nvidia down. You are spreading lies and your trying to fool people here as well.

Nvidia released 9600GT and 8800GS to fill the huge gap between 8600GTS and 8800GT

9600GT performs better than HD3850 (Check the benchmarks), so no it is not a poor performing card as you claim.

You posted a benchmark showing that 9600GT performing better than HD3850, Yet you claim that 9600GT is a "poor performing midrange card" !! LOL !

Also the 3850 has more shader processors

So what ??

9600GT performs better, so what you will benefit from having more shader processors ? The answer is noting

Also, 9600GT and HD3850 use a completely different architecture. So you can't compare them by spec.

Do you know a cheap international shop where I can buy a 9600 or a 3870 (or if not possible a 3850)?

So I should take the one with the most shaders?

You should take the one that have better performance

No one is lying, only expressing their own opinion. I didn't ask for your opinion maroon1, so do not give it where it is not wanted. I responded to the poster not every 15 y/o troll on this board who thinks they know whats best. Try to answer the poster and to stay on track. You think I am a liar, noted. I don't care.
