If you don't want to bother overclocking yourself, aim for a pre-overclocked videocard like the Foxconn 9600GT-512NOC PCSTATS is testing in this review. This baby is a single slot reference videocard which has been pre-overclocked at the factory.
With the flurry of Geforce 9600GT's hitting the streets, there really are a lot of different videocards to consider. If you've been pondering an upgrade, don't fret. Many of the new Geforce 9600GT's are based on the reference videocard, and this makes it really simple to comparison shop by price alone. A few models are pre-overclocked above the stock GPU and memory clock speeds, while others are based on
custom PCB designs that accommodate a physical HDMI port at the back of the card. Of what's available, the choice basically boils down to 9600GT for gaming, or a 9600GT that's a little better suited to for home theatre
applications. We think home theatre is going to play a very large role in many consumers' computers, so don't underestimate it now.
