Hi i am thinking of buying one of the above cards,
Just woundered on reviews as i cant find to much out on this card other than the PC World website.

Difference between the 8800 and 9600 etc...

Its priced at £149.98 and i have £150 worth of Vouchers to spend at any DSG group inc pc world and would it be a great inprovement on my 2 x 7900GT at the mo.

Also what does the TECHNO bit mean?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

The 9600GT is a great card, only slightly better than the 8800GT and a little pricier, it will murder the 7900's
As for it being called TECHNO, its just a name

Yeh, go for it.

The 9600 is a nice card now it has been out for a bit. I have one on order for a mates PC I am building.

Err..I think you've got those backwards :p

I have to agree with Carbon.

The 9600 is a good card for the money, and a high-oc'd one will be a better performer than a 256mb 8800GT. But it can't touch a decently oc'd 512mb 8800GT. Even with the price increase of the 512mb 8800 over the 9600 I still think think the 512mb 8800 is better value for money.

so what ya saying is for an extra £20 go for the 8800GT 512mb? from the same site.I dont mind paying the extra for it if its going to be better.
Cheers anyways for all ya replys.

Yep.

The 8800GT 512Mb is better than the 9600 and I think worth the extra if you can afford it and will be better at higher resolutions as well.
