Which video card would be the better buy?
I can get the 9600 GT for about $180, the 8800 GT 256 MB for $200 and the 8800 GT 512 MB OC for $220. I'm upgrading from an X1950 Pro 512 MB.
From what I've seen the 8800 GT 256 MB performs worse than the 9600 GT so if I'm going to get an 8800 GT it would probably the 512 MB version. I was planning on buying one now and maybe adding another one for SLI later on when it gets out dated.
I play my games at 1680 x 1050 resolution. However, one of the games I do play quite a bit is Call of Duty 4 and the performance of the 9600 GT in that specific game is worse for some reason. Some other games that I also play are Command and Conquer 3, Company of Heroes , Quake 4 and I do some 3D modeling.
