Nope - its good value for money but about 10% slower than GT and a bit more with AA enabled - its about on a par with the ATI 3870

http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/...force_9600_gt/

thats the 8800 GT with 512 btw - the GT with 256 now becomes pretty much defunct as this is similar price point and benifits greatly from the extra memory

If it's true that this card is 10% slower, then surely the fact its £30 cheaper is justication enough? Plus you get free Tomb Raider. :D

exactly thats why I said its good value - but if your a hardcore gamer its worth the increment in price for the 8800GT . Looking at the Toms hardware shows you on average accross 9 recent games at 1650x1050 the average framerates were 62 and 53 in the 8800's favour but with AA enableed it 45.7 and 40.7 - so hardly 'a lot faster' - so if money is tight then this will still get you good performance with todays games with the gap in price being a lot greater than the gap in performance.

Most probably very similar - see this benchmark comparison between the 7950 GX2 & HD 3870 (similar to the 9600GT).

Could anyone tell me how the HDMI output on this card aquires the audio?

Can it take it through the pci-e or will I need a HDMI audio header on my soundcard? Only asking cos I've just ordered the parts for a HTPC minus a GFX and I've gone for a X-Fi pci-e which doesn't have any headers, over the internal ALC889 which does although I'm not sure if this is just for use via a backplate addon for the chipset.

Apreciate some help
