The NVIDIA GeForce 9600 video card chip set is one of the newest form the trusted IT manufacturer NVIDIA. This is NVIDIA’s ninth generation chip set and is good for all of you video needs. This card uses the the most modern interface PCI-Express 2.0. And with NVIDIA SLI technology (not offered on all brand names) you double your performance just like have dual core in you your video processor. This chip set is offered by several different manufactures From names like Gigabyte, Sparkle galaxy and OCZ just to name a few. This is a very fast chip set, Games really love this chip set on all brand names runs games like COD4, Fallout Goty at high settings. Fans are known to be a little noisy on some brands, and the low profile versions are known to run hot so it would not hurt to add some more fans to your Computer case. Different versions of this card come with different memory configurations and core clocks, also available ports vary from card to card. The fan speed is controlled by the drives and therefore makes the Cards a little loud until the said drivers are loaded into the operating system.
Personally i believe this is a really good chip set that everyone can enjoy from gamers to video enthusiasts and developers, however, i would do my homework to make sure that you get the features you want if just selecting by the chip set
name alone you may not get some of the really cool features listed. I really thing the Open source community would really enjoy this chip set as well seeing as how NVIDIA has great support for LINUX. And don’t forget with being SLI ready you are really future proofing your hardware because when you feel like you don’t have the horse power you need just buy a another and slap it in your box and away you go.
