    Default GeForce 8800GT & 9600GT - same price

    After ordering my new rig last night, I noticed this on newegg.com today...The EVGA 8800GT and 9600GT cost the same price. So, if you are building a rig and not looking to break the bank, you might want to consider throwing in the 9600GT for the same price. I of course noticed this after I paid for the 8800GT, such is life.

    You do realize that the 8800GT is a faster card, right? Especially on high-end games like Crysis. They're both OP for WoW so it won't matter there.

    I didn't - I had assumed that the 9600GT and 9800GT were higher-end / faster than the 8800GT cards. I guess I need to do a little reading up on this.

    It isn't dramatic, but it's noticeable.

    The 9600GT is an 8800GT with some bits turned off.

    9600GT has less processors but a newer core. Think the 8800GT is slightly better.
