Id take the 9800GT for sure over the 9600gso
An OCed 9600GSO:
511pt: 2900ppd
353pt: 4300ppd

An OCed 9800GT:
511pt: 3500ppd
353pt: 5700ppd

353pt: 5700ppd

so it looks like the 9600gso is comparable to the 9800gt in terms of avg ppd? keep in mind I can get the 9600gso for about half the price of a 9800gt

edit: you just changed it to 5700 ppd, hmmmm that's pretty good.

As other said PPT, the 192bit 9600GSO is better performance/price ratio because 9600GSO is around $50 right now. 9600GSO has two versions. One is 192bit/384mb DDR3/96SP and another is 256bit/512mb DDR2/48SP. The 192bit one is better and it is the same as 8800GS. Here is the one review may help. 9600GSO 192bit=8800GS 9800GT=8800GT
9800GT
HD4850

i think they will be better than the 9600GSO

Yeah, sorry. I hit 3700 instead of 5700.

I would go with the GT, especially with them being $100 shipped with no rebates on newegg right now.

I would also consider this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133246

Lol yeah I was like what? 4850? I think that was a 24 hour only deal on the 9800gt, the price went back up. Remember I am on a budget.

There are still cards around $100: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ce%209800%20GT

In the long term I would say that the GT would be the best bet.

Also, if you get a GSO, make sure it is a 96SP version.

and if im right the 9600 GSO has only 96SP and the 9800 GT has 112SP,

the 9600 GSO, they also came with the 48SP version right?

Yes. The 256bit/512mb/DDR2 is 48SP.

Well considering smasherbasher is selling them for that cheap, I might just go for the 9600 :)

If open box doesn't scare you the egg has some 9800GT's for $90

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814121268R

Edited: To bad ATI cards don't fold well, you can swipe an open box 4870 X2
9800GT > 9600

but u pay for the difference
Well with GTS 250's msrp at $130, its pretty appealing too.

True, especially as it only requires a single 6 pin connector, versus the 9800GTX+ two 6 pin connector.
