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.

XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Black Edition review
A review on the XFX Black edition GeForce 9800 GTX, after reading some of you guys will probably will run to the store .. as the XFX XXX and Black editions obviously have fallen in price after AMDs Radeon 4850 launch.

XFX GeForce 9800 GX2 Black edition review
King of pre-overclocked products has to be XFX, their speed-bin of releasing OCed products is exceedingly fast. I do not think that there is an XFX product out there that is not available as a triple X edition or other series name slapped on top of it. Today will be no different, we received XFXes top of the shelf product, the GeForce 9800 GX2, the cool thing is that this is the new mystified named 'Black edition' series of cards, meaning it comes with a nice pre-overclock and an lovely game bundle.

XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX 512MB review
A review on that XXX rated version of the GeForce 9600 GT. Hey, only XFX can implement such a name for you. XFX have a "way" of communication and getting attention. They quite honestly deliver really impressive products. Today's tested product is no different.

XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB Fatal1ty review
The Fata1ty Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB graphics card comes with it's GPU core pre-overclocked at 650 MHz and it's 320 MB memory clocked at (2x) 999 MHz. If that isn't rather radical, the Shader domain inside that graphics processor is clocked at a lovely 1620 MHz. Now if that does mean jack to you, these are the reference specs a 320 model normally has: 500 MHz core, 2x 800 MHz memory and a shader domain clock of 1200 MHz. Can you already sniff the performance increase ? That's like bacon on your eggs man.
