EVGA GeForce 9800 GT -vs- EVGA GeForce 9600 GT SSC

[pglover19]

Hello,

I had to RMA the EVGA GeForce 9600 GT SSC (part #512-P3-N868-AR) back to EVGA and in return they sent me a GeForce 9800 gt graphic card (part #512-P3-N975-AR) due to the fact that the 9600 GT SSC was on backorder. EVGA claim that I received an upgrade, but according to the specs when comparing the two cards on the EVGA website, it seems that the 9600 GT SSC is the better card. They are willing to let me use the 9800 GT until they receive more of the 9600 GT SSC.

Please post your opinion on which is the better graphic card.

If you can, stick with the 9800GT. It will be faster than the 9600GTSSC even though it is overclocked. Because the 9800GT should overclock good as well.

Umm... 9600GT = 64 Shader Processors, 9800GT = 112 Shader Processors.

your comparison is more of a 8800GT (as thats what the 9800GT really is/was) vs a 9600GT overclocked

there are far more carts comparing those 2

it takes some very high overclocks to over come that difference in a GPU - go 9800GT

Some performance comparisons. The 8800GT is identical to the 9800GT. Once in a while your SSC will best a stock clocked 9800GT, but most of the time the 9800GT will come out slightly ahead.

I'd say overall the 9800GT is a slight upgrade to the SSC.

The SSC is a 90MHZ OC out of the box(runs at 740MHZ- 650 is ref 9600GT speed vs 600MHZ for the 9800GT).

Keep the 9800GT. Download EVGA precision-tuner, give the core a little kick, and enjoy

I would definitely take a 9800GT over a 9600GT any day!

Overclock that 9800GT and leave the 9600 in the dust!
