XFX GEFORCE 9600 GSO REVIEW

"XFX GeForce 9600 GSO also featuring MSI Radeon HD 3850 OC. The XFX GeForce 9600 GSO has a 16% lower clock speed, 8% higher memory speed and 224 less pixel shaders compared to the MSI Radeon HD 3850 OC. The XFX GeForce 9600 GSO also has two other disadvantages, these are the 192 Bit Memory Interface and 384MB of Memory. When compared to the MSI Radeon HD 3850 OC's 256 Bit Memory Interface and 512MB Memory the XFX GeForce 9600 GSO appears to be at a disadvantage."

"The XFX Nvidia GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card offers unparalleled graphics realism and game performance without breaking the bank. Enjoy PC Movie quality packed with stability and power."

PhysX technology

"Nvidia's new GPU PhysX technology that renders convincing facial expressions, multiple ultra-high polygon characters in complex environments and convincing physical effects like weather and explosions. Nvidia PhysX drivers are required to experience in-game GPU PhysX acceleration."

CUDA technology

"Nvidia CUDA technology and the new CUDA enables programmers to offload the most intensive processing tasks from their CPU to their GPU, putting the power of up to 240 multi-threaded processor cores to work for you."

Cooling Fansink

"Sometimes known as an active cooling device, a small electrical fan which drives air across a heat sink and as such will generate a small amount of noise. It is more effective than a heat sink alone at cooling."

Profile

"Some graphics cards have the capability to swap out the current bracket to make it compatible with low-profile computer systems that require a lower bracket card."

SLI Technology

"Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI Express graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on today’s hottest games."

Output HDCP Capable

"Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays. Requires other HDCP-compatible components."

Microsoft DirectX Support

"The standard for today's PCs and next-generation consoles enables stunning and complex effects for cinematic realism. Nvidia GPUs offer the most complete implementation of the Shader Model feature set-including vertex texture fetch (VTF)-to ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all DirectX."
