| 659324 | 2008-04-16 01:34:00 | I know there are threads on this but I didn't want to hijack anyone. Haven't upgraded in ages and I am a little behind the times with the new stuff so. Graphics Engine GeForce 9600GT Graphics Engine 9800GTX Memory Size 512MB Memory Size 512MB Memory Bus 256-bit Memory Bus 256-bit Engine Clock 650MHz Engine Clock 675MHz Memory Clock 900MHz Memory Clock 1100MHz Max. Resolution 2560 x 1600 Max. Resolution 2560 x 1600 Bus Standard PCIE Bus Standard PCI-E VGA Output No VGA Output No TV Tuner No TV Tuner No TV-out Yes, HDTV TV-out Yes (HDTV) DVI Dual DVI Dual DVI Very little difference in specs Any reason to pay for the more expensive one? |

| 659326 | 2008-04-16 02:04:00 | hmmm your probably right but double the price different? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 659327 | 2008-04-16 02:17:00 | Different GPU architecture. Don't know all the technicalities (and probably never will), but those architectural differences also reflects the difference in their performances. 9800GTX is much better than 9600GT. |

| 659328 | 2008-04-16 03:37:00 | Should I be worried about the lack of ram on the 9800 only 512? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 659329 | 2008-04-16 03:41:00 | well up to a point it's not so much the amount of ram but the speed of the ram that matters | drcspy (146) | ||
| 659330 | 2008-04-16 03:59:00 | 512MB is still a big size for graphics memory. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 659331 | 2008-04-16 04:07:00 | Its DDR3 memory so its pretty grunty | DeSade (984) | ||
| 659332 | 2008-04-16 05:10:00 | DeSade it probably depends on what you want to do with the PC. Games, DV etc maybe a great card. Word processing, accounting email maybe a cheap one. toms hardware site probably does comparisons and or reviews on them all. |
