Best Nvidia Card for $100

the 9600GT, and no it's not as good as the 8800GT/9800GT/GTS240.

For that kind of budget, look at a 4830 for the best performance.

The 9800 is better

so how much better is the 9600 compared to the 9800? oh also i want to stay nvidia.

9800GT=8800GT is better. Here are some numbers.

People are selling 8800GTs/9800GTs for like 75-80$. Killer cards for dirt cheap, like here.

the 9800GT is better, but if you OC a 9600GSO 96SP 768mb card if you can get one will OC like mad, and beat the 9600GT once you get the memory bottleneck removed. I know from experince with a 384mb card I used to own. Got it to 800/2000/1900 and it was a real champ

Yea yea yea, ppl are craping all over the proper terms everyday. The only thing that really matters is that they get the big picture.
