I agree with whoever said it: with the razor thin prices, it's a pretty good conclusion to say that nvidia is making profits for partners razor-thin.

man, that's a nice price for an add-on physx card. the Ageia card still costs 120 bucks on Newegg where as the 9600gt is 3x the performance for 20bucks less. too bad its limited to Nvidia cards

Well, 9600GT is w/o any direct competition at the moment, except HD3870. HD4670 is overall a little better than 9600GSO in performance, plus is shorter and have an lower power consumption. HD3650 blows up the 9500GT that was put against it, and the TDP is the same. Seems AMD win for me.
This year, the proprietary ATI drivers for linux became much better, and the open-source driver is going well with the help of AMD. You can already play some games in R500 cards, and probably R600 suport will come soon. You can see the progress at phoronix:Then again, Nvidia drivers + linux... :love: This is ripping me apart.

Meanwhile, Nvidia let KDE4 users stucked with horrible ununsable performance, even w/o 3D desktop...
3870 is still more for the money, and the 4670 should beat it in AA+AF, additionally 30$ more and you get a 4850 which tears every 9800series card apart
nvidia offers almost no competition in the 0-200$ market, at any price point the amd cards offer more or the same value...
amd pwns nvidia more than nvidia did 1 year ago because back them amd had some nice products in the sub 150$ range
i hope that nvidia gets their act together in the next few months, but all these shrinks don't look like they're going to change the situation

Too bad that SLI chipset is expensive , Such card will be good enough for SLI or as physic accelerator , or even as additional card (too bad that NVIDIA do not allow card mix for SLI).

Nice price for the card...a good folding value, I'd assume.
Have these price cuts hit europe yet?
As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki
And the IQ, well, this come as a truly personal opinion, but i'm really happy going back to the red camp with HD 4870 after using both 8800 GT & GTS for about 10 months combined, can't replace the need of great IQ that ATi has consistently provided since my first encounter with them back in 2003, using Radeon 9100 up to X1950 XTX, if the FPS is already sufficient (exactly the opposite reason why i went with G92 over RV670, beside the stupidity of local ATi AIB distros that priced RV670 card uncompetitively back then).
Dudes, point me out one store in EU that sells low profile 9600GT cards.
Now i'm hoping the price drop hasn't affected the UK yet as I can get a 9600GT (650/1800) or a HIS IceQ Turbo 4670 512MB (780/2000) for Ģ68. Trying to upgrade my little brothers PC from a X1900 Pro & can't decide which to go for.

You can also find them on ebay.
NVIDIA is no longer competitive to AMD, IMO.

Prior Build: Core i7 7700K @ 4.9GHz / Apogee XT/120.2 Magicool rad, 16GB G.Skill 3000MHz DDR4, AMD Saphire rx580 8GB, Samsung 850 Pro SSD
Intel 4.5GHz LinX Stable Club
Crunch with us, the XS WCG team
ATi still hasn't addressed the gap beetween HD 4670 and HD 4850 -especially in my country, RV670 solution just isn't competitive performance wise (i hate game without decent amount of AA and AF applied).
QFT.
The 4850 excellent combination of value and performance is astonishing but a lot of people really can't go over, let's say $120. Nvidia dominates that segment with the 8800gt (now 9800gt). In terms of speed it's much closer to the 4850 than to the 4670 but it's priced right in between.
Murray Walker: "And there are flames coming from the back of Prost's McLaren as he enters the Swimming Pool."
James Hunt: "Well, that should put them out then."
