Id take the 9800GT for sure over the 9600gso

 

An OCed 9600GSO:
511pt: 2900ppd
353pt: 4300ppd

An OCed 9800GT:
511pt: 3500ppd
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

 

Just waiting for the word. I can ship tomorrow

 

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.

What is a GTS 250?

 

he meant GTX 250 the new rebrand of the 9800GTXs

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

 

The BFG 9800GTX+ 1gb *tested in my sig* only requires a single 6-pin PCI-E

NVM then. Could have sworn I saw 2 pins on each of the cards.

 

I pulled the trigger and bought the 9600gso for $50 + shipping. I know the 9800gt is much better, but for that price I couldn't justify paying over twice the price for a few more ppd.

Heck that's a steal. It's not 50% less than a 9800GT in folding PPD. So that is fantastic.

 

thats a really great value man.

 

Are you going to use that for folding/physX?
cause you have a 9800GX2

or is it for another rig?
