Summary: Good Performance for price
Comment: I got this for a good friend of mine because he needed something that will not break the bank and had good power. It plays almost every game on high with very good frame rates. Plus it works at 650Mhz out of the box just like the 180$ superclocked models ! Just make sure you have the latest driver, get it from www.nvidia.com don't use the one that comes with the GPU. Also make sure you have proper cooling inside your case. The price + Performance = good GPU.

Summary: A good video card for the money
Comment: This card does indeed speed up graphics well. Now I can't run DiRT at full resolution and detail, but that is perhaps true of all but the highest-performance cards. I'm satisfied with it's performance, though I don't play games like Quake and Crysis. It runs DiRT well enough, and it runs Age of Empires and similar games at full resolution and detail.

Summary: Great time to purchase a video card
Comment: Right now is a really great time to upgrade your video card if you haven't already. the Nvidia 9600GT series of cards is a worthwhile upgrade for just about any card more than a year or so old. If you've got any 6000 series or 7000 series Nvidia card, this is an upgrade. If you've got an 8000 series less than an 8800 this is an upgrade.
This card is just a little slower than an 8800GT (with at least 512MB, not the crippled 256MB versions), and priced appropriately. It is on par with ATI's 3800 series cards, and a slower than the ATI's new 4800 series cards that just came out. All of these cards I just mentioned will play ANY recent video games with all of your eye-candy set to High at very playable framerates, and many games (especially older ones) you can set to Very High settings.
At the time of this writing, you can find all of these cards for less than two hundred bucks, with this 9600GT and ATI's 3800 series at the low end of the price spectrum for as low as one hundred after rebates and such if you shop around a bit. Really, this is a great time to buy a video card if you are at all in the market for one (or might be in the near future).
For the people looking for numbers, on my system Vista gives it a 5.9 for both Graphics and Gaming Graphics. 3DMark06 gives it a score of 11200 at stock speed, and slightly overclocked it went up to 12400. Overclocking takes just a few moments with Rivatuner software if you so choose, but even at stock speeds this is plenty fast.
The only things to watch out for is the size of the card (it is fairly long), and make sure you have an adequate power supply. You don't need a HUGE power supply, but you just need a good one and not a generic cheapo one. It requires a separate PCIE power input. This isn't anything out of the ordinary, and any other card in this range you get will need the same thing. The fan is quite loud at startup, but goes down to near silent once the drivers load up.
My system is a Q6600 (overclocked to 3.2Ghz), 8GB RAM, 3x Western Digital 640GB hard drives, OCZ StealthStream 600W power supply, Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard.

Summary: GeForce 9600GT
Comment: Best mainstream card out there right now. Not too expensive and performes amazingly. Can max out any game out there including Crysis(If you don't go with crazy resolutions). You have to check if your power supply can handle this card first, anything over 450 shouldn't have a problem.

Summary: Great card that really sped up my games.
Comment: I upgraded the old card in my Dell Optiplex GX620 machine with this one. Of course I needed to upgrade the PSU as well, but I found a great deal with the OCZ Technology Silencer Dell Upgrade 470W Power Supply on Amazon. Everything went together well and my system is running all my games at the highest detail setting now. I haven't tried any recent titles like Crysis yet, but I plan on loading it up soon.
