Customer reviews
Inherent hardware flaws 
Before I returned this product, I was running two of these in SLI. On some games, the 9600GT ran perfectly with no errors. On about half of games both old and new, however, the “black screen of death” would occur. Thousands of other people have the same issue: it’s not a problem with the drivers or the motherboard, or the power supply or the CPU or the PCIe bus, but with the hardware itself. I’ve been hearing that other brands besides eVGA have the same problem so it’s Nvidia that’s putting out the defective hardware. The only solution that worked temporarily was to underclock the card, but that sort of defeats the purpose of upgrading to one of the latest graphics cards, and mind you the cards still crapped out after an hour or so. The 9800 GX2 runs perfectly, however. No complaints there.
Budget Purchase - Amazing Performance 
Cute presentation, amazing performance, budget purchase.
Just when I was going to buy a 3870 ATI, the 9600GT was realeased and the first reviews were enough to change my mind.
eVGA is a recognized brand that make great products.
really good product for the price
this is the brand new 9600gt a really good adition to the geforce series, this one its really close to the 8800gt the only diference its the number of stream procesors (9600gt have 64 vs 112 of the 8800gt) its run every game on maximum, except crysis how throw like 30 to 40 fps with everiting in hight (no antialising) and 15 to 22 with everiting in max (DX10, no antialiasing)…..
its really worth the money and for 30 to 40 usd less its a super cheap monster….
Great Card !
Great Card, very fast and not too expensive !!!
It needs at least a good 450W power supply, and that”s all.
SLI Best choice !!
I definatelly recomed this one, specially if you are looking for the beneffit of making a SLI at your machine, as I did on mine, without spending and arm and a leg for a 9800 or to a 8800GTX ot ULTRA…
I had a 8800GTS 320MB, to which I exchanged for 2 of these superb cards..
The space at the case now is much better, since it only uses one slot…
But since I got 2 working with SLI, I decided, just to be on the safe side, to put a passive fan to get the hot air out of their way..
The results on other games that I had on my PC were impressive…
Crysis now (which everyone know is the Today’s Resource HOG game) runs smoothly with almost all the specs on VERY HIGH…
I am running Vista 64bit, with 4gb of RAM, AMD x2 64 5200 (2.6ghz)…
I shall mention that the bottleneck of my PC now is pretty much the processor, since these card gave new life to the games..
At Call of Duty 4, the impressive results came with a much better quality of the game details, since the frame rate remained pretty much the same as with my old 8800 GTS ..
Higher resolutions will be achieved without a glitch by using the SLI..
With this I mentioned just about 2 games that are a lot machine demanding and indicated that the performance gain is worth the buy..
And before I forget, if you are going to do a SLI with these cards, make sure you got enough Power Supply.. I am using a 850W Real Power PFC Active… If you only have a 400W, you should consider upgrading.. for SLI, obviously…
Go with this one and you will have enough fire power for the most demanding games for quite a long time (due to to the way these cards get outdated pretty fast nowadays..)
The best Bang for the Buck you will find… specially for the SLI !
All reviews around the internet will show you the 2 of this card togheter, pass the 8800GTX (which is only one card..) but is just about $100 or more on your Final price Tag…
And do not forget to get the latest drivers from NVIDIA, since they are upgrading all the time specially the SLI performance for this new series of cards (9 Series)
