    That's got to be the first case of a product refresh leading to a downgrade...

    when in doubt, rearrange your card and release a new 'version' at least once a week. I mean, 3 versions of (what should be) the same card?

    I would like to see the number current ati models compared to nvidia. It appears that they have stuck with their shrink the core and call it an upgrade strategy, but they managed slip in a 50% reduction in shaders.

    the only reason I bought a 9600 gso was it had a $50 rebate with free shipping. not bad for a total of $50
