8800gt Vs 9600gt - Overclock - 3DMark06 Results

I just wanted to share my OC results for both 8800 gt and 9600 gt systems that I have. I built the 9600gt system for my friend, and wanted to compare my 8800gt system with the new 9600gt System. Both machines are of Similar configuration except for the GPU. Here are the results:

Only Configuration Differences between the two systems were:
8800gt powered by Rosewill Xtreme 750w, CPU cooled by Zalman 9700NT, Antec 900 Case
9600gt powered by PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W, CPU cooled by Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme with Scythe 110cfm fan, Raidmax Smilodon Case

Thanks for sharing - that's an interesting result. It shows the 9600 has potential and as a cheaper option than the 8800GT will appeal to others.

I see that you installed an Accelero S1 to one of the cards. How easy is it to remove the stock heatsink & fan? Is it just the same regardless of make or do some manufacturers make removal easier or harder?

the 9600gt result that I posted had a lower CPU score.. I think I hit 13600ish after I posted..

Removing the Heatshink-fan on the boards are super easy.. Just remove like eight screws on the back, then detach and disconnect the fan..
