First GeForce 9 series card to hit the market in February is NVIDIA’s GeForce 9600GT. Do not be fooled by the 8800GT-like cooler! It is only to replace 8600GT, not 8800GT.

I score just as much as the 9600GT does with everything overclocked on XP with my 8600GT SLI.It definitely seems it'll beat the 8800GT with everything overclocked.

@ sunny :
Details aren't quite hard and fast, but this is Nvidia's top-of-the-line to-be, so it's never too early to start nerding out. HardOCP says the best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 is a 8800 that's been shrunk down to 65nm and SLI'd onto a "single" card. The card is supposed to be at least 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra, and will apparently support Quad SLI. So, now for the really nerdy part: GeForce 9800 GX2:
  1. 1GB Frame Buffer
  2. Two PCBs
  3. Two 65nm GPUs Total
  4. 256 Stream Processors Total

if 9600 is going to cost 12K, will there be a price cut for 8800GT ??*gigasmilies.googlepages.com/7.gif

Probably the 8800GS wud be cheaper, as compared to 9600, 8800GT is still a powerful GPU.
And even 9800GX2 is only going to be only 30% faster than current 8800GTX.
And 8800GS is much weeker than GT. Even 8800GT 256 is below par for 1440*900 high for Crysis. It gives some odd 9fps.

^^There is no point in buying 9800GX2 once its released.. Paying a high amount for a card whose performance is just 30% more than the current gen is a waste ;)

8600 GT was also launched as an mid-range card and it was around 12k but is now an entry level card :( .
Same will happen with 9600 GT I think..
Better wait for 9800 GT and get it in SLi :D

I got ASUS EN 8600 GT for 11k :( five-six months be4 ...

I guess I would directly upgrade to 9800 GT SLi instead of wasting more money in this...
I guess prices of 8800 GTX will fall but i am directly going for 9 series..

:( :(
