Biostar’s First 9600 GT Card Is Ready

As I was saying two days ago, video cards based on the NVIDIA 9600 GT started to show up, and one of the first models comes from Biostar. As you can see below, this card has an attractive design, although it may seem a bit too "serious" for some people. After all, what really matters is the performance, as well as the performance/price ratio, and for a lot of people, this is even more important than raw power, so let's see what's under the hood of the Biostar V9603GT52 video card...

Biostar V9603GT52

The V9603GT52, announced yesterday, has an engine clocked at 650MHz, 512MB of DDR3 memory running at 1800MHz, and uses the PCI-E 2.0 interface(fortunately, it's backwards compatible, so you don't have to worry about any issues if you want to grab such a beauty for your older PCI-E mainboard). The memory bus is 256-bit wide, and the card's GPU has 64 stream processors.

Output connectors available are S-Video and Dual-DVI, while HDCP and the PureVideo HD are also featured by this card. On top of all, the price is set at $189, and if Biostar is right when saying that the performance gain is 90% when compared to the older 8600 GTS, we just may have a very solid competitor to ATI's HD 3870...
