Edition. The new ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO models usher in a new era of affordable high-performance graphics solutions that are ready to take on the latest Microsoft DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1 enabled games and NVIDIA CUDA enabled applications. Drawing power from 48 screaming-fast stream processors, the new trio of ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO graphics cards will deliver phenomenal visuals and fast frame-rates in the latest 3D games. Powered by NVIDIA's flexible unified architecture, the 48 stream processors are programmable to take on any tasks - whether its gaming or accelerating NVIDIA CUDA-enabled applications.
"The new ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO trio offer a perfect blend of price and performance, delivering great value to gamers and casual users," said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.
The ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB AMP! Edition takes performance to a whole new level with its supercharged NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO graphics processor. The ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB AMP! Edition features fine-tuning to extract every extra ounce available from the graphics processor and high-speed GDDR3 memory for a fast-paced and highly detailed gaming experience.
"Our ZOTAC GeForce AMP! Edition series of graphics cards feature the best tuning available. ZOTAC is able to extract more performance from the GPU compared to our competitors," Mr. Berger added. "The ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB AMP! Edition is no different, and is one of the fastest NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO based graphics card you can buy."
NVIDIA CUDA technology enables the ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO series to function as more than just a 3D accelerator for the latest Microsoft DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 games. CUDA technology transforms the ZOTAC GeForce 9600 series into a high-performance processor capable of speeding up video encoding tasks and complex mathematical calculations.
NVIDIA PhysX technology empowers the ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO series with realistic physics capabilities, providing real-time physics calculations for realistic visual and environmental interaction effects. PhysX technology provides an immersive gaming experience previously thought impossible.
NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology transforms the ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO series into a high-definition video processor capable of delivering vivid high-definition video playback smoothly without relying on the system CPU. PureVideo HD technology also enhances standard definition video content to near high-definition levels of visual quality, for a near-HD visual experience with existing content.
It's time to play with the ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO series.

I was even told by someone at XFX that they wouldn't really replace the 8800GS or 9600GSO with this card, because the tech guys said that it would more than likely be slower

I actually use a 8800GS in my system for physx and cuda apps and if it broke there is no way I would take this card as a replacement if it broke
this sux for gs owners,
If they hadn't of renamed the 8800GS then this wouldn't be an issue.
wizz we want a shootout!
If it isn't two different cards with the same name, it is one card with two different names.:shadedshuAnd to add to that, the 9600GT would have been a wonderful 8700GT.
it is becoming even more ridiculous now
when this card is distributed its going to be a problem, they were on a renaming spree before but now there are 2 different cards with the same name, wait didn't the do that with the 8800GTS also
AT LEAST they can't be worst than this

128bit g92:shadedshu
i can't understand what nvidia thnking with this, they should make the card better not worse.
yet another stupid attemp from nvidia to make customer confuse (and stealing their money) by selling deffective 9600gt core:shadedshu.
