The latest version of the nVidia GPU line is out and creating quite a stir. The first of the GeForce 9 Series is the 9600 GT. The 9600 GT is meant to be a budget card that is cheaper than the 8800 GT, yet rivals the power of the 8800 GT. This article will cover the inno3D 9600 GT 512MB Overclocked.

How does the 9600 GT perform? For this article, the inno3D GT 512MB Overclocked is paired with Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit and DirectX 10. While it is more taxing to run on a Vista system, Vista's sure to be running on at least a few gamer's machines. The inno3D product runs quite adequately in Vista.
