I have decided to shift some attention to the hardware now as we wait for our favourite games to be release.
Today, I will discuss on 9600 GT SLi and 9800 GTX graphics card.
Currently, the graphics card war seems to be falling on the side of NVIDIA. Many gamers have been opting for the NVIDIA options due to the performance from the high-end model and value of money series, such as 8800 GT and 9600 GT.
Based on Anandtech 9600 GT and 9800 GTX reviews, here is the comparison of results of various benchmarking tools.
Using the same test bed configuration,

9600GT SLi |
9800 GTX |

|
Crysis |
76.5 (Medium setting) |
21.7 (Very High) |
|
Elder Scroll IV |
70.4 (No AA/AF) |
45.4 (4xAA/16xAF) |
|
ET: Quake Wars |
119.7 (No AA) |
109.1 (No stated) |
|
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. |
72.8 (No AA) |
51 (No stated) |
|
P.Comsumption (Idle) |
268 W |
240 W |
|
P.Comsumption (Load) |
396 W |
350 W |
|
Price |
~SGD 350 (USD 260) |
~SGD 490 (USD 363) |
As the setting is different, we cannot see the exact results. But you can see that from ET and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, 9600 GT SLi has the edge. Moreover, there is a SGD 100 gap between the 2 configurations.
Overall, the 9600 GT combination is a more value for money combination. But you will need a SLi board for the configuration and if you care about the 40 W difference in power consumption so much, go for 9800 GTX (Save the Earth!)
