4 - Packaging and Bundle

 

XFX GeForce 9600 GT 512MB 'XXX' edition

So then, for roughly the price of the regular GeForce 9600 GT you can buy the triple-X version from XFX.

XXX obviously refers to a faster clocked product and therefore you can expect a mild overclock as standard in addition to a free (full) game. XFX will set the core frequency of the GPU at 700 MHz for you. However, a nice side effect is a substantial increase of the clocks in the shader domain (default 1625 MHz) as they will overclock as well, and that frequency is now clocked at 1750 MHz. The memory frequency has also been boosted a little to 2000 MHz (effective). Other than this you can expect a reference based graphics card with the standard (slim design) single slot cooler.

Included in the box you'll find:

  • GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB OC model
  • Driver CD
  • HDTV block (3-way RCA component)
  • SVideo cable
  • 6-pin to Molex power cable
  • manual / quick install guide
  • VGA->DVI dongle (two).
  • HDMI adapter

You receive the hardware needed to get started & drivers, but next to that XFX tops off the bundle by including the complete version of Company of Heroes (DX10) which is just good value.

As stated you will get a nice speedbump on the core frequency of the G94 graphics processor & it's memory. And as mentioned, increasing the core MHz also means an increase in the shader domain frequency and that's the sweet spot for your performance. The product comes at a suggested sales price of and will carry a 2 year warranty.
