The only advantage the 9600GT might have over the 8800GT is price/performance ratio, and that is based on each users expectations and budget. >> Stay informed about: why 9600gt?

Not the same price. 20% difference, actually. Cheapest 9600GT 512MB is $180 at Newegg; cheapest 8800GT 512MB is $220. Remember, the 9600GT is just the beginning. There is a 9800GT coming around March/April, according to HardOCP. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTQ0MCwsLGhlbnRodXNpYXN0 The 8800GT will likely be discontinued at that point. i.e. they will become increasingly difficult to find in retail. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

That's $190 after MIR. Not the same. (Though it's still a good deal.) Again, the reason the 9600GT is priced this way, is because the 8800GT will be discontinued in the a month or two. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
