9600GT Or 8800GT?

[fighter25]

I'm going to replace my 8600GTS. But my question is what would be the better bang for the buck? 9600GT or 8800GT. I'm leaning toward the 9600GT because it's a little cheaper. But I've read the reviews on Newegg.com and most people say something is defective on it.

8800GT - It's faster.

Ouch. I guess I'll try to scrap $50 more dollars together.

Just changed from a X1900XTX to a 8800GT, in the process of testing and overclocking.

Mobility Radeon X300 to EVGA 8800GTS 512.

The 8800GT is still faster than the 9600GT.  It would be worth the extra $50 to get it over the 9600GT.

I just got my new system home today. It has two 8800GTS cards in it. I am hoping to stumble upon how to get screenshots like I see in that forum. I think I might finally have the videocard(s) to do it now...

Okay, new question. Will an 8800GT work on a 375Watt PSU? If not what about an 9600GT?

8800GT is much better. All the stuff for it has proven itself.And as you may know already I go for the stuff that has been tried and tested. I'll wait out on the 9 series for a bit if I were you.
