Currently, NVIDIA's 9600 lineup only includes the 9600 GT card, but things are going to change in May. While the 9600 GT cards offer a considerable performance increase over the 8600 GT(according to NVIDIA, it's 90 percent), the 8600 GTS doesn't really have a 9600 GTS equivalent. Anyway, the upcoming 9600 GSO card is going to fill a void, but not quite that one above the 9600 GT...
Looking back, I first have to remind you some obvious things - being more powerful when compared to the 8600 GT, the 8600 GTS cards were also more expensive, but when talking about the 9600 GT and the 9600 GSO, it's the other way around. How's that?
Well, it seems the 9600 GSO will be a reloaded 8800 GS - both cards use the G92 core with 96 stream processors, but with the 9600 GSO, hardware producers are free to design their own PCB, and set their own clocks, so seeing such cards pushed to the limit, trying to grab some market share back from ATI, would be a real delight, and since May is not that far...I hardly wait to see!
