The last factory overclocked 9600GT we tested, the Palit 9600GT Sonic, turned out to be a good performer and a value-for-money option. This time, we have with us the BIG/Galaxy GeForce 9600GT Xtreme Tuner Edition. We put it through our usual run of tests and here's how it performed.

--DVI-VGA connector
--Driver disc
--Printed Quick Install Guide for the card and Xtreme Tuner
Sudeep, you are using a slow test bed. Test it on a Core2 3Ghz machine and check if the performance is better than the stock 9600GT. The CPU is holding the card back.
The cards don't look to be CPU limited.
And it's a little sad when I read an ATI advert in the middle of this review, and you haven't tested an ATI card since... I think... what a few million years? The 3850 and 3870 are freely available in the market. You still refuse to test any ATI solution. This sort of review makes no sense if you're just going to compare a 9600GT to another 9600GT and another 9600GT and then another. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Stop being such soddy nVidia fanboys and review some ATI cards.
Yes, Ikrana is right TT is so much biased towards nVidia cards and Mobos. Apart from the great ATI cards there has also been great new Mobos for the new RS780- chipset (from Gigabyte and ASUS etc). These mobos are drawing the whole PC Gamers' attention! But TT just wants to continue reviewing these same old cards again and again.
rohit and hari , wants to say that asus, msi , gigabyte,xfx all are bad cards , and big is good , stupid......... go for better card , and branded product
some supite will telling big is bad cards but thts is right bcoz i am also using big card only i am not thinked performance is very very good so go for big cards
