XFX launches 9600GT in India!!!

[shadow2get]

They ll be vfm when they reach 7-8k.
BTW yea these PCIe2.0 cards ll work on older PCIe x16 slots. Just that the bandwidth ll be reduced.

I don't think they would reach 7-8k even in a time frame of 1 year. It will be around 9000-10000 maybe after 3-6 months.

Unless some newer NVIDIA card is up which performs better than 9600GT for a entry to mid-range card say like 9800GT, 9800GT or an ATI equivalent, its price will not come down.

Right now, I think you will get a 8800GT 512MB ones which perform much better than 9600GT for an additional 1000-1500 bucks more.

Also ATI have announced a price reduction of $50 for ATI HD 3870 & $30 for ATI HD 3850. So ATI is now a better option for entry-mid range card.

9600 GT Forces HD 3800 Prices Down The Staff of Tom's Hardware
February 20, 2008 12:46
6:30 am (PST), 2/21/2008: Yesterday we asked why AMD might be lowering it's prices on its HD 3800 line. Well, now you know. The price drop was in response to Nvidia's new GeForce 9600 GT card. As of this writing, AMD's new prices for the Radeon HD 3850 and HD 3870 have yet to hit the e-stores. However, you should soon see the HD 3870 dropping from $245 to $189 and the HD 3850's price falling to $169 from $199.

@Abheek
PCIE 2.0 cards are backward compatible with 1.1 slots for sure, as many guys are already running PCIE 2.0 cards like HD 3850 in older 1.1 slots.

And at 13k, the card is total waste. There is no improvement than the the older gud 8800GT. Even no DX 10.1 support for the 9600GT. And even performance is lower than 8800GT and has higher price.
What nvidia is thinkin bout the customers???? Just a new name "9600GT" will attract people and theyll buy it at higher price than already existing and better performing 8800GT?

 

[BULLZI]

I cant just understand why some of u are saying "9600GT is a monster" ??!!
It cant even beat the 8800GT. It dont has DX 10.1 support.
Then why shud one opt for 9600GT at ~ 14K price??!!
Ati HD3XXX series are lot more vfm with DX10.1.
No way 9600GT is a monster. Its a low/mid range card and if it doen not has decent price cut soon, noone shud buy it considering the price/performance ratio.
MSI 8800GT overclocked edition is a far better choice.

 

[Pathik]

^^ Who said they are monsters?? And yea they should flop if Nvidia doesn't bring down their prices soon.

 

[BULLZI]

Its 14k.A bit overpriced.Anyways,price would be reducing soon.I think i'll be buying a desktop in march and (hopefully) this monster would be mine.

Just an example .

 

[MetalheadGautham]

9600GT is a white elephant in black font, so I would advice all of you to instead buy ATi HD 3xxx cards, or MSI 8800GT OC Edition.

 

[Tech_Wiz]

Mediocre gamers go for 8600 GT its best bang for buck still

 

[Cyrus_the_virus]

I don't think they would reach 7-8k even in a time frame of 1 year. It will be around 9000-10000 maybe after 3-6 months.

You can already get the 9600GT for 10K through group order on various forums.

Thats good for retailers ... I think it will be group orders of around 25-50 cards ... not less than that. The end consumer won't benefit from that. If it was a group order of say 5 cards, maybe then it would be useful for us.

Even then, 10k is costly considering its performance & price is lesser than ATI's 38xx series. Now the ATI has lowered their prices ... so ATI would be a better option.

off topic ....
Can u specify WHERE you can get it & how much is the Group Order(qty) u meant? Just telling Various forums wouldn't help people who would want to buy them.

Why does it matter to you if you are getting the card whether there is 100 cards or maybe a 1000cards in the group order as long as you get your card with warranty?

I was only replying to your quote where you said the price is going to come to 10K only after 6months to 1 year.

Just tell the guy who's running the order which card you want, and even if it's a single card, you can still get it. No need to wait for another 100 card order to complete.

If you look at other sections of this forum then you would realise that 9600GT is already retailing at 10k level. Only XFX is charging high for its card.
Check this post: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5193&page=229

You will see that MSI 9600GT OC is retailing for 10.5k and Palit 9600GT is below 10k. So no need for group order..

I hope you realise that the reason I said so was of this:

So, please read the previous posts before coming to a conclusion why someone posted something so.
