The 8800GT is the fastest out of those.
yep, but ill sell my old comp for 400euros, and i want to keep some of the money and dont want to put everything in a new gfx card, so hmm, 130 for the gs, 154 for the 9600gt and 178 for the 8800gt 512; argh; the newest game i play is most likely universe at war; and not stuff like crysis etc;

The 9600GT and 8800GS are similar in performance, except for on a few games. The 8800GT is in a different league...
yes, but if the 8800gs is enough for my needs that would be great also, but i have no idea coz im still sitting at my 7800gtx and itll get sold so i need a new one, and i guess all of the 3 cards are faster than that so it wont mind what to get, argzh lol

I would go with the 9600 - newer series. Maybe I am missing something but the 8800GS isn't even out yet.

If the 9600 is on par with the 3850, then I doubt the 8800GS is better.

With a little tweaking the 9600 is ~ to the 3870. The 8800GS is more along the lines of 3850. The 8800GT blows them both away though. ;)

gotta love those Newegg reviewers. they're claiming CoD4 with max settings @ 1680x1050 and no frame lag. i don't buy that for a second.

154 for the 9600gt and 178 for the 8800gt 512
get the gt it's 24$ more ffs.
it is excremental value
i mean excellent.
8800gs is a cripple with less ram, but @
1280x1024 w/o aa and af
gs is probly all you need tbh
also consider that ingame texture/effect settings will benefit from a more powerful card.
get a good price on the 8800gt
