GeForce 9600 GSO: variations on a theme

This time we get to know the GeForce 9600 GSO cards coming out of the workshops of EVGA, MSI and Galaxy.

A Galaxy The 9600 GSO is also equipped with the two-seater Cooler Master cooling used in the 9600 GT, which is also required, as the GPU works at 550 MHz instead of the reference value of 600 MHz, in addition to the GDDR3 type memory. the fastest 0,8 ns chips operating at 2 GHz were deployed.

Az EVGA it will immediately launch the 9600 GSO in two versions. Customers dissatisfied with the performance of the base card, which operates at 550/1375/1600 MHz operating frequencies, can choose the Superclocked Edition. As a result of the tuning, the core clock signal increased by 100, the shading units by 245, and the memory chips by 300 MHz.

Az MSI like EVGA, it is preparing for the premiere with two types of GeForce 9600 GSO, the main difference is the amount of GDDR3 memory, since one has "only" 384 MB and the other 768 MB. It is not known whether the clock signals of the two versions differ, in any case, it seems certain that the doubled amount of memory will result in an additional price of roughly 40-50 euros.
