Palit GeForce 9600GT

NVIDIA seems to be in a real hurry as they are dishing out cards at the rate

of notes, one after the other loading the market with more and more options.

Each card seems to be better than the previous one and comes at an aggressive

price point. Apart from being over-clocked, a unique feature this card has is

the 4-display output options: Dual DVI along, a HDMI, and a new port called the

display port. Never before we have seen such a card that comes with so many

variants of display ports. This card comes with a new core and a compression

technology which enabled it to attain higher performance gain than any other

card in this range. It also has an improved display adapter which improves the

offloading of all three codacs from CPU completely.



Talking about performance it gave us amazingly high score in all our tests. In
3DMark06 a score of 10707 is extremely high for any budget range card and is

almost close to what we got from ATI Radeon HD3850. Even in our gaming test,

Company of heroes the score of 133 fps is very high, even higher than what we

have got from ATI HD3850 and very close to the 8800GT cards. In Crysis and UT3

too it proved its mettle with high fps. As a replacement of 8600GT this card has

shown very high performance gain and will make life a little tougher for ATI

because of the attractive and tempting price point.

Bottomline:

We were boasting of 8800GT so far, but look at this and you'll forget everything

else, a must grab at this price.
