MSI?? and what's a step-up program?

EVGA lets you trade in your card within 90 days for new cards. You pay the difference in price.

Actually ithought it was 100 days..And somewhere i saw a spcial 120 day step up..i think it depends on teh card

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

Brands i recommend:

BFG
EVGA
XFX
Gainward
HIS
Sapphire

What about Gigabyte... even if in the words of one local computer shop "they're like gold dust to get hold of".

[Eagle101]

MSI is good,

aria.co.uk a damn good website for prices just like ccl and scan.co.uk. (for UK)

You pay the difference in price.

That can often make it a bit of a rip-off, or so I've heard. :)

[Death Merchant]

Yea, we pay a lot, but the average wage is higher than in the US. So it kind of balances out.

Last time i checked it was lower

[=98=]

Nope, i'm pretty sure it's higher.

from going through the specs of the original 9600 gt and this u can clearly see its just a over clocked version ...100 mhz over clock on the core and ram ....I'm sure the shaders have a big o on them also....

but it seems this has a little bit different part number then a regular 9600gt so maybe there is more to it, that i missed or something...

there is a 20$ difference in the ko version and the regular evga 9600gt...
I'm not quite sure u can oc this card to what they are selling it at...so maybe its best to buy the oc version...

[=98=]

100mhz is a good OC on the core, but still relatively low on the memory. Bet you have to pay a substantial premium though :|:

[theminx]

since its a oc version we can probably expect not to be able to overclock any more ..never know thoe...is it worth the 20$ more ?

[=98=]

I expect more than $20 :p

[theminx]

lol that speaks for it self than lol
