In Short this is the best 9600GT u can find whether for gaming needs or HTPC build (with so many outputs)
This card is not based on nvidia's reference design . Palit makes top quality products and this card has 3-phase power design(as opposed to the generally used 2-phase) which ensures cleaner and stable power suply which improves overclocking and reduces temperature.

NOTE : A common misconception about PALIT is that u have to ship to Hong Kong for RMA which is totally untrue. Their RMA Centre is in Indiana for USA.

I got my $40 rebate, this week, from the first time this came around.

card is great, but I still have the random audio pops over the hdmi connection problem, even with the new "official" vista driver when I hook it to the 52" samsung hdtv as the monitor over hdmi.

Finally, cards are appearing with DisplayPort.

 

[Keitero]

There are some issues with the DisplayPort since it's very new. Hopefully they will fix it since I do want more DisplayPort and less DVI. Does anyone know if it pass audio through HDMI or does it use the optical out?

Edit: Still no work on the coupon code yet.

 

[gwynethgh]

Was like $114 shipped. (looks like a 256k version)

 

[estew33]

Which is a better card, this one or the visiontek 3870 over-clocked that bb had on sale.
Thanks for any info

[wolf2009]

this is better than that card with AA. 9600Gt leads slightly without AA, but with AA lead becomes bigger. and this is only like 10% less than 8800GT without overclocking. And it runs cooler and overclocks better due to palit's design.

with so many outputs, does this card support 3 or 4 displays? Or is it limited to dual monitor support like most gfx cards?
