NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512MB is quite an exceptional midrange video card – powered by the freshly-baked G94 GPU core this card offers tremendous value compared not only to earlier generation of similarly priced midrange solutions, but also the more expensive namely more powerful GeForce video cards.
Much like the other members of the NVIDIA G9-family of GPUs, G94 too offers formidable overclocking potential, though, some users may consider the relatively low default operating voltage to hold back the true capabilities of the card.
