eVGA e-GeForce 9600 GT Superclocked Graphics Card

Go for it and you won't go wrong

Strengths: EVGA, price (got mine on newegg for 99.99), better perfomance than the 8800

Weakness: Maybe a bigger fan, some people have had temp issues with this one. It really looks a little weak for my taste but it works so far.

After almost a month weighing my options I went with this one, and I can be happier. Solid card, temp ranges from 45 to 51 during system operation, when playing goes up to 60 but not more than that, all stock. EVGA has a great warranty program, that's one of the pros I weighed when bought this one, lifetime warranty, that's gotta account for something.

Great graphic card with best budget

Strengths: AMAZING bang for buck. Without a doubt the BEST budget card

Weakness: Runs a little warm

I must say I was a bit taken aback by the power of this card. It supports massive screen resolutions, and runs them well. I get 50 fps in very active areas on Team Fortress 2, over 100 fps in inactive areas. I also run a 24" monitor at 1900x1200 resolution. This card will not disappoint

GeForce 9600 GT

Strengths: stable even though superclocked, great image and memory

Weakness: very large video card and serious heat output, not for the beginner builder

Very nice design, even though it puts out a decent amount of heat it still can keep itself cool. I've had trouble with superclocked video cards before being unstable and sometimes crashing over extended gaming periods. This one has not shown any signs of instability. They said there is an issue with it not drawing enough power for itself, however i haven't notice any such issue, all monitoring...

Good Budget Card

Strengths: Price/ability to play most games with good fps. eVGA lifetime warranty.

Weakness: Some users at the evga forums have had issues with this card overheating and giving users a black screen during gameplay.

This is a great card that can easily be found for under $100. I have had no issues with it so far. You can also utilize evga's precision program to easily adjust the clock and fan speed to improve your game play. A good buy for gamers on a budget.
