9600GT or 3870

PowerSlide · 29th Feb 2008, 12:53 AM

I'm about to test both cards. I will let you know once I tested them.

IIRC performance-wise they edge each other. 9600GT has lower power consumption, but HD3870 has better HD decoding.

Finally a review between 2 latest mid range cards!!

Do anyone noticed that nVidia took a quiet approach to launch 9600? And strangely they deicided to launch a mid-range card first instead of a high end card first. Even its offcial website has no information on the 9 series cards.

If 9600GT costs about the same price as HD3870...

Nvidia's GeForce 9600 GT graphics processor - The Tech Report - Page 1

9600GT gets my vote.

X > G, get 9600XT for better performance.

Yeah, I noticed the same. I'm guessing because the stock of 9600GTs are low?
