Whichever card you choose youll be happy.

I think I'd go with the 3870 if they were the same price. But in the US, the 9600 GT is MUCH cheaper.

9600 GT performs slightly better in most cases, specially if you use DX10.

Palit 9600 GT.. have had few Palit-cards and loved all of them; brilliant overclockers, good cooling solutions, cheap and well they have same reliability as other cards. I think they get their GPU's cheaper than other manufacturers (PcPartner, Flextronics, Foxconn etc.) since they order so freaking many of them; they basically own Asia's markets and have gained serious share on Europe's markets.
Don't know how warranty things go in US? If I have understanded correctly you have to deal with manufacturer? In EU countries you just have to deal with the shop you bought that card.
BTW. how does 8800 GS 384 fare against 9600 GT and HD3870 ? At least in Newegg it's cheaper than HD3850 256MB ($10) and $20 cheaper than 9600 GT.

Well Fortron 350W from..hmm 2002? is enough for Core 2 Duo@3GHz + 8800 GTS 640MB@650/2000..type of system and these 9600 GT and HD3870 are easier on PSU than that 8800 GTS 640MB.Originally posted by: idiotekniQues
