BFG GEFORCE 9600 GT OC2 REVIEW

"BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2 review also featuring the HIS Radeon HD 3870. The BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2 has 12% lower clock speed, 17% lower memory speed and 256 less pixel shaders compared to the HIS Radeon HD 3870. There are two major differences between the BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2 and HIS Radeon HD 3870. These are the BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2 has Gddr3 memory, DirectX 10 while the HIS Radeon HD 3870 has Gddr4 memory and DirectX 10.1. How will these differences effect performance?"

BFG GEFORCE 9600 GT

"The BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2 offers the same powerfully immersive entertainment experience as standard models, but is OC2 overclocked to deliver improved frame rates and better over all performance in the hottest Microsoft DirectX 10 games. The revolutionary PureVideo HD engine plays the latest HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc movies with brilliant jitter-free clarity. Couple two BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2 graphics cards together with an Nvidia nForce motherboard for an optimal graphics platform, giving you the gaming horsepower to handle the most demanding games with Nvidia SLI technology. With the BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC2, amazing graphics performance is now within your reach."

Gaming

"Overclocked to the next level for improved frame rates and overall performance gains in games (compared to standard clocked models). High-definition gaming support with resolutions up to 2560x1600.
