The Boards
We were lucky enough to work with three of
NVIDIA’s top partners to get GeForce 9600 GT cards tested and ready for
your perusal before the launch date. These partners were Asus, eVGA,
and Palit. All three of their cards are unique in their own separate
way, and all varied in terms of clock speeds and feature-sets. The differences are
best explained in our simple charts, seen below.
