after my previous question was unswered (Thank you ) comes the question of the card to buy.
I mostly interested in XpertVision (PNY) now simply because they are the cheapest here, and comments I read about them are good with Solid and quite cooling.
I'm mostly confused between the 9600GSO 786mb Sonic (180 US$) and the 9600GT 512mb (205 US$).
the 9600GSO has more shaders (96 vs 64) but smaller bandwidth (192bit vs 256bit) and it runs at slower speeds.
which one is better ?
In any case I'll take the Sonic (OC) version. I guess it's better to take a company OC version for the extra 15 US$.
I also found a Twintech 9600GTXT OC 512mb (225 US$). what does the XT here mean ?
I know the 8800GT performs a bit better then the 9600GT, but it's also a bit more pricy. I guess when new drivers will come out they will squeese mor from the newer 9600 one.
