Definitely not. Take a look at some benches here. The 9600gt is not far behind the 8800gt in most cases, but once the 256mb 8800gt hits the memory limit in certain games, the performance tanks, and at 1920x1200 you'd suffer even more from insufficient video mem than what's shown in those benches.

I think you might be right but bench marks dont really support you except with quake and 1 other. The other 6 benchmarks the 8800gt 256 beats the 9600gt.
Will keep looking.

Edit
more benchmarks
I play mostly MMO and RTS
These show he is very right. At the higher resolutions all the 256 cards are crap.
It amazing how far they fall.

Thanks for the advice
