Brian Cochran takes a look at Inno3D's overclocked GeForce 9600 GT. He checks out performance in F.E.A.R., Oblivion, BioShock and Crysis under Windows Vista at the sweet-spot resolutions of 1440x900 and 1680x1050.

Next I put the inno3D 9600 GT through it's paces at 1680x1050, which happens to be the maximum resolution that my screen can handle. Again, the older games performed very well at this resolution. We start to see some lower scores in BioShock when we turn on Antialiasing. The card almost audibly wept when it had to benchmark Crysis at this resolution. I could've sworn I heard a huge sigh of relief from the card when it was done with the Crysis benchmarks.

Wow that "review" was shorter than most previews and why did it start out comparing the 9600 to the 8800 and then no numbers for the 8800? But then the conclusion says the numbers are close. That is sad, spend one more day and give us real info we can see and use. :(

I don't want to discourage you but I agree with Athena.

Once I get done with a review, there isn't much left for the staff to benchmark :)

But in this case Brian tested under Windows Vista whereas I used XP.

How do you bench Oblivion Mike ?Carefully :)

Actually, it's right at the point where the player leaves the sewer gate and enters the outside world. It is a scripted walkthrough of the outside world that about 30 seconds to complete and is one of the few benchmarks that I have left to document using video.

Nice review, glad to see an Inno card was used.

Kind of a Inno3D fan myself, they always the cheapest :p

Overclock great too :D
