Also note 8 ROPs and 96SPs. I checked the box, 112SP par sticker laga hwua tha :|

And its performance was clearly showing its a 128bit, I o/ced the ram marginally and I got huge gains, something I experienced with my own HD4670 as well, but not so much with a friends 9600GT

Looks to me they changed the sticker on a 9600gso and repacked it selling it as a 9800GT. Bastards.

Edit: Okay...doesn't even have a 6-pin connetor? WTH are these guys doing? Stay away from them guys.
GF 9600 GSO is either 192 Bits or 256 Bits and the card has a 6 pin power connector. It also has 12 ROPs.

That 9800 GT might be a crippled version from XFX. It was surely not a re-branded 9600 GSO.

Like I said ...

... it sounds like what the 5700 LE etc used to be ... crippled down versions. Only had one DVI port and one HDMI too!

Post GPU-z screen shot here (latest GPU-z) i'm sure ur's is 32 SP's version.
The 32SP one is actually 9600gso 512mb version. Which also doesn't include a 6 pi connector and sucks in comparision to 9600gso 384mb (96SP) normal version.

Also this isn't a problem with galaxy alone, its more of a cheyraan from xfx's side. I just bought HP 2009f monitor and it didn't include a freakin dvi cable. I also contacted a guy who had the same monitor and his cable is also missing. WTF!! The site says cleary that it includes one.

You are confusing 9500 GT with 9600 GSO 512, which by any means is a performance card.

9600 GSO 512 has following specs:

  • 256 Bits Interface
  • 48 Cores
  • 512 MB V-RAM
  • 57.6 GB/Sec bandwidth
It also should come equipped with 6 pin PCI-e connector.

Here is official confirmation.

9500 GT however does not needs one.

One should be very careful when buying XFX cards now.
