Asus GeForce 9600 GT

The Asus GeForce 9600 GT series contains 8 cards with various amounts of RAM and a variety of cooling technologies. Some of these cards are overclocked from the stock settings of 650MHz/1800MHz. Two cards that stand apart from the rest are the Silent and Top models, the Silent for it's ability to passively cool a relatively powerful and hot GPU and the Top for it's impressive 720MHz/2000MHz overclock. Asus should also be applauded for it's Matrix hybrid option, and their attempt to compete with MSI while bringing the gift of silence during 2D operation to the attention of consumers. For more information on the 9600 GT refer to the full report.
