Bought a Pair(mistakenly) of 9600GT's? (G94) no joke...

sladesurfer · Jan 14, 2008

Tell me who bought the card....i wanna tell him i have a unicorn for sale if he also wants one. ( what a sucker) Saw your ebay thread and you were selling it for $1000. I just hope he didnt pay that much money for a midrange card

kpo6969 · Jan 14, 2008

I don't know if their lucky or not.
The 9600GT doesn't look like a barn burner.
I'll stick with my 8800GT.
The OP's "9600GT's" are 256mb not 512mb.

He already "succesfully" sell the cards. Lucky bastard. $630 bucks. We just have to wait for the reviews when R*** finishes his testing those cards.

R*** = Roco?

JrRacinFan · Jan 14, 2008

Hmmmm ....

How can these be verified as 9600GT's? Bios edit to an 8800GT's PCI Vendor/Model ID to be able to install drivers?

Shoot that may not work, but will it ....

Oh well, whoever purchased these, good luck with drivers and have fun.

no a chinese site benched them and if the bench is right its like this

8800GT 512mb
8800GT 256mb
9600GT 512
9600GT 256
8800GS 384

The reason comes down to shader clock, and seeing as how the 8800GS is built on the older G80 Core with 196bit bus the shader clock is rumored to be 1.1ghz with 96shaders a 9600GT with 64 shaders @ 1600mhz and 256bit bus in all ways should kick its ass.

Negatory, the 8800GS is based of the newer 65nm (G9x) core, they jsut most likely cut the GTX's memory controller in half to get 192 bit, an odd move really.

btarunr · Jan 15, 2008

Damn he sold them off for $650. With this he can easily buy a 9800 GX2 when it releases. L.B.

wolf · Jan 15, 2008

keep your cash and wait for 9800GTX mang

Monkeywoman · Jan 15, 2008

vr-zone says that the 9800GX2 will be 800 bucks. get 2 3870x2 lol

Slade, not sure if you remember me from the "other" forum, but you may recall. I can vouch for this guy, and I'm not sure why the pictures are so blurry. I almost bought these cards, but originally the guy who sold them to the OP advertised them as 8800GTS 512 cards. He admitted he was not sure, and that was too shady for me. The guy literally has cards and cards and cards in his trunk, and posts on craigslist. These cards really are what the OP says they are. I have seen them in person, and vouch for him 100%. i have no idea how it is possible, but he definitely beat me to them as I felt the deal was too shady. Looks likes it was too shady, but I would not have minded having some eccentric cards.
PS; got any tips for making a clean wiring job in a CM 690??? Good to see you are still around dude.

Steevo · Jan 15, 2008

Drop it like it's hot, drop it like its hottttt.

I believe your friend has some shady dealings with some shady peeps in other parts of the world.

Xazax · Jan 15, 2008

He told me had Ultras, and my friend bought one from him for cheap, so i can believe he might do shady dealing but hey i thought i boughty 8800GTs and ended up with a suprise, when i asked the guy he said he got them from "a friend" so yea, he seemed knowledgeable about computers and had 3 rigs of his own, one an old AMD 4000+ S939 he was trying to sell to me.

where this guy got this from and who is "friend" is anyone guess i dont know i just bought them, im the end-user

Never heard of "Receiving Stolen Property" as a criminal charge I take it? Better get receipts with your purchases.

Mussels · Jan 15, 2008

if you KNEW it was stolen when you bought it, thats illegal. being sold unawares isnt (its illegal because you should have refused the offer, and reported it)

lol, why even tell us that....

Tatty_Two · Jan 15, 2008

TBH, I cannot really understand who would pay $600 for 2 cards that in around 4-5 weeks are going to retail (256MB versions) for about $170 each ( I am assuming that price as this card is supposed to be a competitior for the HD3850). I recognise the fact that it's nice to have a card ahead of the rest of the community, but with no proper drivers and the impending release it does not seem money that well spent to me.

wolf · Jan 15, 2008

well he did go into the transaction believeing that he was purchasing 8800GT's

Yeah I know but I was talking about whoever bought them off him for $600 as 9600GT's.

DaMulta · Jan 15, 2008

Tatty I believe it was a website, they will use them as a early review to get web hits.

lol nvidia really misses those mass produced 9600 GT's they were special prototypes owww no LOL bs.

nvidia are fuckin stupid though they should leave the 9600 GT with 128 shaders/rops as 8800 gtx with that 65 nm would be fuckin kick ass.
