In fact 9600GT die size is very big for itīs segment. ATI HD 3800 continue to have a lot small core, witch means a less expensive chip to manufacter.
And the threadcrapping begins...

DX10.1 & SM4.1 are right now nothing but words on paper & PR speak. Save that lame duck of an excuse for when there's even a single DX10.1 game on the market.

nVidia managed to double the performance of the 8600GTS with the 9600GT without increasing the price which in anyones book is a good thing.

For the $150-200 the stock to OC cards will cost it's proving to be more than a match for the 38x0's especially when they can expose AMD's poor AA performance. nVidia's performance is causing AMD to lower prices so they can compete which is not a good thing for AMD.
