Come on guys, you’re not comparing correctly!

512MB 8800GT is $210. A 256MB 8800GT is $170.  
512MB 9600GT is $150 and has MIR for even cheaper later if you get that $$$ back!

For the performance gains, $60 isn’t “CLOSE IN PRICE” No need to spend $60 extra dollars… worthless waste of cash.

And an 8800GS doesnt meet up with a 9600GT in any benchmarks I can find… so, why make it a choice? It is a whole $10 cheaper, has 128MB less RAM and doesn’t compare to the 9600GT.

9600GT. Best bang for your buck. Best mid range card for the $$$.
