The first Geforce 9 - The Geforce 9600gt hit the shelves last week, and showed how serious nVidia was in edging AMD.
The 9600gt is overall impressive.
It is the first nVidia x600gt that has performance equaling ATI/AMD x800.
Let us refresh ourselves for a while.
This is a MAINSTREAM CARD.
Let us compare the 9600gt to the ATI's HD3650 card.
It edges the latter by at least 200 percent.
And the 9600gt was on par with HD3870 on most benchmarks.
If you SLI a pair of 9600gt, you will get up to 80 percent performance more than a single 9600gt.
WOW! No SLI or Crossfire before this had such a performance!
NVidia Geforce 9 set a new bar for graphics card performance level.
Unlike the previous Geforce 8 generation, the Geforce 9 really is promising.
Just imagine the performance of 9600gt, with 64 unified shaders, can be just 15 percent under the 112 unified shaders 8800gt.
And the 9800gt has an expected 128 shaders.
Same count with the precious 8800GTX/Ultra, but with 9600gt's performance, you should reconsider how the 9800gt will perform.
Not forgetting entry level, the 9500gt will be either present with 32 or 48 shaders.
Hmm, nVidia again shows how serious they are on edging their opponents and also setting new heights.
I mean, no previous generations really offered something as good as this.
9500gt is an entry-level card, but with so many shaders...
HOWEVER, there is no need to call the 9600 9600 because technology-wise, there is nothing really new.
Major no-changes, still DirectX 10, rather than a newer 10.1, Shader-Model 4.0, rather than 4.1.
Maybe it should be named 8700GTX rather than 9600gt.
But it's up to nVidia, I am nothing to say this.
Meantime, Let us just wait for March 11 when nVidia realeases their 9800gt(hmm... delay probably?).
Then let us see how nVidia crushes their opponents flat.
Also expect to see the 9800GX2, or even the 9800GT destroying the HD3870X2.
Let us hope tri-SLI will be a true breakthrough with the Geforce 9800s.
