GeForce 9600GT is getting closer and closer. NVIDIA has fixed the voltage issues and the card should arrive on February 21 as planned. It will then become the first of the GeForce 9000 series. Oddly enough a mid-range card, but NVIDIA is going after ATI's Radeon HD 3800 series, which have been quite successful, perhaps due to an initial shortage of GeForce 8800GT cards. GeForce 9600GT is suppose to sport a performance/price ratio which will make it a quite nasty competitor to Radeon HD 3870 and 3850.
GeForce 9600GT is based on the G94 core and has a 256-bit memory interface. It sports 64 shader processors and 512MB GDDR3 (typically).
Turkish site Donanimhaber has gotten hold of pictures of and specifications for not only Gigabyte GeForce 9600GT, but also an overclocked version from MSI.
The Gigabyte card is a reference card, which means reference frequencies; 650MHz core clock, 1625MHz shader clock and 1800MHz memory clock. The MSI card comes with a new cooler and higher frequencies all around; 700MHz core clock, 1750MHz shader clock and 1900MHz memory clock.
