GeForce 9600GT everywhere: Overclocked, 512MB or 1GB, HDMI, Display Port, DVI & more

When it comes to graphics cards, some get made in many more versions than any other and that is so true for the 9600GT. This card is everywhere and each brand seems to make at least five different versions. These include DVI, Display Port, HDMI, single and dual slot, passive and active cooling, 512MB, 1GB, overclocked, stock clocked and much more.

This is the GIGABYTE GeForce 9600GT TurboForce 512MB graphics card that has a heat-pipe for those that like silent cards. This version carries the usual GIGABYTE quality and an excellent overclock. There isn’t much more you could ask for from a mid-range graphics card.

Tweak Town have given this card a hands-on review in and in their final thoughts they said “The GIGABYTE multi-core cooling setup seems to do a good job of keeping the card at a reasonable temperature while pushing out some decent FPS. The advantage it also has over the Sapphire HD 3870 Ultimate, which we looked at the other day, is that getting one is going to be a lot easier. While the card hasn’t hit the market yet, it’s only around the corner and GIGABYTE being as big as they are means that we should see most major retail stores carry it, or at least have access to the model.

With NVIDIA saying that the G92 core should be around for another 12 months, the driver support for the 9600GT should continue to be excellent and we should continue to see some more performance out of it over the coming months.

If you’re looking for a silent card, the 9600GT from GIGABYTE could be a good option. We’ve also heard that a 1GB model is announced and no doubt we’re going to check that out, too. So if you want to get a bit more RAM on your silent card, it might be worth waiting.

It would have been nice to see a game or HDMI adapter in the bundle, but on a whole the setup here from GIGABYTE is pretty good. The overclock is great for a passively cooled card and the performance is even better.”
