NVidia 9600GT Video Card

[CrAzY3AGL3]

been running them sly few years ago still works but i replaced them with single GTS 450 as two of this made a lot of heat but really nice card from Nvidia

[IuliXGrove]

if I have 1.60 GHZ memory processor and i have this videocard....my computer it works?

[Kakadutuber]

I´d still buy a 9600gt cause non of these new cards looks as nice as the 9600

[MN12BIRD]

@MrDarkone707 Yeah it's still not too bad a card. Sure it's several years old now but it's still a bit faster in DX9 and DX10 games than the new GT430 so if you can get one real cheap go for it. But for new pricing you might want to look at a GTS430 or GTS450 and get newer features like DX11 and bit stream audio built in for HDMI.

[ldragonheart]

@MN12BIRD also a great physix card i remember when i got a 6800 ultra for 200 bucks!!! back in 05 oh the memories

[hanrinch]

i got the same card but i down clock to 550/1200/900 it's not because it ran hot or overheat but because it ate power like crazy and that card that's on the pc that's only use for BT download and i ran 7 gaming computer at the same time so i had to made this choice because of power saving :(

[123ilikecheese456]

i got it for 50$

[mikemike2165]

i have enough power in my cpu and my card is setup right i have the 9600 gt superclocked and i cant even run lost planet??? help

[DCxChubens]

I just bought that, 112 dollars here in argentina, it cames with another box, and the videocard is different

[ldragonheart]

hey i have a 500w psu with dual 12v rails 1 is 16a and the other is 18a is this enough

[MN12BIRD]

Yep that should be fine.

[ldragonheart]

@MN12BIRD thanks man!!

[ungureanudoru]

Well, dude, what Power Supply do you have ? I need to buy a new one ,and i dont know what PSU would be cheap and good. I need a new one because this video card needs a PCI-e 6 pin connector ...

[MN12BIRD]

Cheap and good hardly go together in a PSU. Get a decent name brand (Cooler Master, OCZ, Corsair, Thermaltake, Antec, etc etc etc) in 500W or more.

[ungureanudoru]

Thanks.I will get from Sirtec.Well,it's a good brand,at least that is what i hear.Cooler Master,Corsair and Thermaltake have too high prices.And Antec and OCZ,i dont know...

[tvengas]

I too :D

[AloneWithMemories]

i love unboxing the new stuff

[topsyandpip56]

My new laptop will have a 9600M GT!

[JTCPingas09]

I'd love to get my hands on an 8800GT/9800GT.

[billpickle24]

if a 9600gt needs 400w, how much does a 7600gt?

[Bazzsi007]

i have radeon 4650

[daltonvh22]

so do i !!!!!!!!!!!!

[stormtroopera52]

i saw starcraft on the computer in the back there :P

[aliv101010]

Holy shit dreamcast, you legend.

[goldwow]

I have a 5900 Gt ....

[pinpoint45]

i had integrated sound and graphics so theres no extra load on the card for sound,,,

[filipkir]

One question for you MN12BIRD, do you play Far Cry 2 with this baby. And if you play it at what setting do you play?

Thanks for the vid.

[Tiger1AuasfE]

If you want a good 9600GT get the silent edition :)

[MegadethPWNMetallica]

lol, mine is very loud... i dont really care. I am buying some new case fans soon and that should quiet it down a bit.

[filipkir]

Or even better the 9800 GT pipe edition with passive cooling. I wish they made a 4870x2 passively cooled

[MN12BIRD]

Yours is loud megadeth? Wow mines loud when the PC boots but as soon as the NVidia drivers load in they take control of the fan speed and it quiets right down. Its damn near silent in windows!

[filipkir]

Mine is behaving similarly. But you forgot to tell me about it's performance in Far Cry 2. At what setting do you usually play with this card?

(of course if you play the game)

[MN12BIRD]

Sorry I haven't tried Far Cry 2 on it so I don't have a clue how it would run it.

[corey596]

umm sry but is this a graphics card and how much was it.

[ThisIs2009]

YES its a graphics card.

[leroux510]

i love the HDMI 1080p the 9500 9600 come ready with

[BSSVK]

Very cool card!

[gbo4ever]

you got the Amp! edition?

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah its overclocked.

[gbo4ever]

for*

[gbo4ever]

Can u use this power supply: Tronje Force Majeure 550W ATX V2.2 (TRN25061)

12v info:

• +12V1: 14A

• +12V2: 14a

Can i use it or this graph card?

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah it should be fine.

[Danny7930]

4850 cost me $200 it faster much but it is HOT HOT HOT so i spent about $150 on a watercooling system...

[Danny7930]

i have a 512mb 4850, its nice.

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah the 4800 series AMD cards weren't out yet when I bought this 9600GT. I would have bought one if it had come out then. I like those cards.

[Danny7930]

well you gotta read ab out those cards, watercooling aint that cheap to be honest.

I can get u a link to a Diamond Radeon 4850 for about $145,

Video Memory: 512MB

Memory Type: GDDR3

Memory Interface: 256-bit

Stream Processors: 800

Core Clock: 625 MHz

Memory Clock: 1986 MHz

Stream processors 800! they are split into anything your game needs worth with and each ones is 625mhz

[lordvadre]

Hey! I have a question.

I recently bought a zotac 9500GT I can install the card itself but im not sure where to connect the sound cable. I don't have a sound card but my sound components are built in to the motherboard.Where would I plug it in?

[MN12BIRD]

Look in your motherboard manual for the "SPDIF" header. It should be just 2 or 3 pins in a row somewhere on the board. But not all boards have it.

[ferrarino93]

is a good gpu for crysis or farcry or call of duty,...etc...?!

[MN12BIRD]

Yep.

[lil0egy0kid]

Question!

Why did you go with Zotac other than evega or xfx as they both offer life time warranty?

[MN12BIRD]

They are all the same thing for the most part EVGA, XFX, Zotac etc are all "reference" Nvidia parts and they all have a lifetime warranty inc Zotac. The Zotac was cheaper, factory OC'd and came with the HDMI adapter and Sound on DVI something some XFX cards still don't give you to this day! Example I just installed an XFX 9800GT for a customer the other day and it didn't have the audio or HDMI adapter. I thought that was weak. Zotac was one of the first brands to include these two options.

[lil0egy0kid]

oh i see when i went to go go buy my graphics card i went with evga both graphics cards i have are evga as i like the company and its the biggest graphics card company now but only some models of the 9800gt include the hdmi etc.. some do not and i heard that zotac cards have an orange led light in there graphics card is that true?

[MN12BIRD]

Mine doesn't have an LED light on it and none of the other Zotac models I've seen at work do either. Weird. Yeah Zotac just started doing the lifetime warranty this year. The card has a base 2 year warranty on it but when you register the card online they give you the lifetime warranty for free.

[lil0egy0kid]

ah i see lol that reminds me i have to register my evga 9800gt that i just got it came with a free copy of fraps =D i like your card though its blue not green

[mansu08]

Hey dude, hows things, nice vid i hav the sme graphics crd and a vid on youtube, but im strugglin to get the sound frm through the HDMI. tlkin bout the SPDIF connecter tat is supplied with the graphic cards. My motherboard doesn't has a SPDIF connection so can u giv me an alternative way of getting sound frm the graphics card pls..

Note: i am tryin to get the sound through HDMI not DVI. Pls tb..

[MN12BIRD]

Well if your motherboard doesn't have an SPDIF connector you're kinda SOL. Unless you have a sound card with one. You maybe could run a cable from the back if you have a coaxial SPDIF on the rear, run that in, split the wires and rig that into the video card. But I wouldn't bother with that. If your board does have a coaxial or optial out for that matter just use it and run separate sound. Kinda sucks but whatcha gonna do?

[mansu08]

Aight dude thnks 4 da help...

Ireally wouldn't bother my self wif HDMI, i'll use the DVI as every1 else uses it 2..

Sos lol..

By the wat thnks 4 da help..

Appreciate it dude..

[nairb2693]

its definately 26amps. Do you have a dual rail psu? If you do, combine their ampage and thats your final power.(on the 12v)

[MN12BIRD]

I would change the Power Supply but thats called playing it safe. You may be okay for awhile with the one you have, you may not. 26A is the minimum RECOMENDED power. That's for a quad core or what they consider the average gaming system. Also if somethings Overclocked it may need more power to remain stable. Just change it and have something decent.

[nairb2693]

that stinks, 150 bucks? I got the XFX 9600 GT for 80 on amazon(new)

[MN12BIRD]

Back in June?? This was June remember. Also this is Canadian Dollars not that that's a big difference but a bit.

[nairb2693]

oh i see, thanks for clearing that up.

[NightwingIII]

Nice, just ordered it, does it work with this mainboard: Intel Desktop Board D946GZISSL

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah you have PCI-E so it should work! Just make sure you have a decent Power Supply!

[NightwingIII]

Thanks. I have an Aspire 420 Watt. Runs great.

[MN12BIRD]

If its the Aspire ATX-AS420W then its got 2x 12V rails with a total of 30A on 12V. That should be fine. But I hope you checked anyway ;)

[Pr0ph3tt]

i only got like 1 cable wiht mine club 3d 9600gt ..

[chris43554]

How do you change the fan speed? i want to change it to 100% for overclocking and idc about noise because i will either have speakers on full or headset on... thanks

[soundslave]

I bought mine from XpertVision. It had built in fan control software with the driver. But I think default out of the box is 100%. When it's at full load then the fan automatically compensates for heat generation and ramps up the RPM, right? So unless you want 100% fan speed even when the card is at low usage - then I see no point in messing with it.

[systempl]

hey i want to buy one ... and i would like to know how much alimentation would i need .. thx

[TheStudentTeacher]

mind telling me the length and width of the card?

[MN12BIRD]

It's 9" long plus the power plug just like the 8800GT.

[TheStudentTeacher]

Thank you sir.

[angryjoy]

Is it true that it comes with lifetime warranty after registration?

The card is at $96 at Newegg. Planning on getting one soon. How does it perform?

[TheStudentTeacher]

i just bought it ill tell you how well it is when i get it.

[Polariskuad]

hahah comunist idiot don't touch pin of video card with hands

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah thanks I'm a computer technician and have installed a million computer components since like 1995 and never broken anything. Obviously you try and hold these from the edges. Thanks again for that awesome tip!

[WINxTEC]

Nothing happens if you touch the pin -.-

[diehardoo]

中国製グラフィックカードですね！

[wizard22moody]

lol mine is a nvidia geforce 9600gt

[kydoes]

Dreamcast ftw

[santiiipiojoso87]

jjajajaa. q gordo pajero por dios. re contento por su nueva placa. sabes lo q es una concha hermano? jajaja

[Lovedec]

Pobrecito, como no tenés la plata para comprarla no te queda otra mas que mirar los videos de cómo la desempacan. Iluso...

[revideosjme]

jajaja. tengo una 9600 igual que el gordito. pero no me caliento como si fuera una mina. jajaa encima lo defendes ignorante.

[RockabillyRandy]

My friend had one. Ended up downgrading to the 8800gts so he could play Age of Conan.

[MN12BIRD]

you mean upgrading right? an 8800GTS is quite a bit faster than a 9600GT!

[soundslave]

yeh, thats why it's more expencive. The 9600 can compete with the 8800's when you factor in how much cheaper it is. So it's the classic compromise. power or cost. However, with the right cooling the 9600 gt can be oc'ed enough to make it basically an 8800gt or better.

[M00nPhoenix]

I'm upgrading my computer to:

Nvidea 9600Gt

AMD Athlon X2

2g ram

[VideoGamer945]

heheh, I have 2gb of onboard ram and I use that in conjuction with my 5600 video card to achieve a pretty good framerate in stuff like Hl2 and WoW. I really need to go get a new video card.

[ExtremeGam3r64]

DreamCast FTW

[sevag2k5]

very nice! very interesting video! BRAVO! tell me please if the card is good compared to the Leadtek 9600 GT Extrem or XFX 9600GT XXX edition. The XFX is expensiv in my country (252$) and I don t know if the money is worth it. Thanks! All the best!

[MN12BIRD]

Basically all the cards are the same. I mean there is so much "Reference" guidelines and design rules they must follow to make a card like this for NVidia. Some cards are factory overclocked, some aren't. This one is an "Amp! Edition and is overclocked @ 725MHZ Core and 2000MHZ Memory (Reference is 650MHZ/1800MHZ) so that nice but not really a make or break feature and you could OC a stock one to those numbers anyway.

[MN12BIRD]

The main difference is warranty. One company may be a PITA to deal with, another might be great! Some companies have lifetime warranties on them, some let you change the heatsink and as long as you don't damage the card and put the stock one back on... still under warranty! XFX is good for warranties as they have the double lifetime (can transfer second hand) and they don't care if you change fan etc. Also some companies give you extras like my Zotac and the HDMI with SPDIF sound pass thru.

[crator007]

And im gonna buy one of theese cards too july 7th or so after vacation =] i think its cool

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah this ones overclocked quite a bit too. 725 GPU core and 2000MHZ on the memory. Not bad considering I thought it was stock reference speed.

[crator007]

mm but dude i fought 9600gt was based on g94 gpu not g92  wtf?

[MN12BIRD]

Yeah I didn't think they renamed it. It is a G94 but its still "based" on G92 so I was kinda still right in what I said. Its basically a G92 with only 64 stream processors. The die size is %33 smaller on the same 65nm process. I read the full reviews of this card when it first came out and must have forgot it was called the G94 since then. Oh well close enough ;)

[rautoiua]

you are wrong :) 8800GT is faster then this. 8800GT has 112 stream processors vs 64 (9600GT)

[MN12BIRD]

Thats what I said isn't it? If not thats what I meant! I know the 8800GT is the faster card. Yes I just watched it again. I said many times that THIS card is about %15 slower than an 8800GT!

[rautoiua]

i have a little question :D why do you not put all setting on high ? on your second video and what is your avg framerate:D

[wolframf]

no intro this time?

that music is greay!!

btw, what a toy huh? lol

[MN12BIRD]

If its not old school video game console related it doesn't get the intro. Hence none of my "How to build a PC" videos have the intro either. I'm glad someone likes the intro! Many people complained about it. But if you know what the music is... you should love it and want to listen to it forever lol!

[thebonefish]

WHOA, Duke Nukem Forever will be totally awesome on that :-D

[SciFiAnime86]

That looks flippin' sweet! Hope it works great for you.

[FPWDude]

1st

[GoGo2]

LOL! i was jus watching ur DC review then i go back to your homepage and see this video.

Both great reviews.
