    oooo... danger looms near for the 8800gt....

    the 9600gt gets benchmarked early.

    http://en.expreview.com/?p=184#more-184

    compared to the 8800GT, its only 83% as fast. now, while its not as fast, compare it to the 8600GT. the x600 series cards are more of the budget gamer's solution. always have been. and if the 9600gt is a pretty good comparision to the 8800gt, it makes you wonder exactly what kind of powerhouse the REST of the 9x00 series cards will bring.

    The card is expected to be the first member of the GeForce 9 series and to feature 64 stream processors, a half a gig of RAM, and a 256-bit memory bus. the 8800gt has 112 stream processors. so this card, with a bit more than 1/2 the stream processors of the 8800GT performs at 83% of the speed is quite an decent feat. this card could prove to a VERY decent alternative for the price for the budget gamer.

        no, its 17% slower. the 9600gt is 83% AS fast as the 8800gt. the point is, compare the 8800gt to the 8600gt. it'll make you cry.

          So what is the point of buying the 9600? Any reviews on the 9800 yet?

              It should place it's performance very close to the G80 8800GTS'.
