Palit 9600GT Sonic 512MB Geforce 9600GT Videocard Review Palit's tweaking makes the 9600GT Sonic roughly at par with nVidia's Geforce 8800GTS (650 MHz core / 970 MHz mem). The Geforce 9600GT features 64 stream processors, supports SLI and is PCI Express 2.0 and HDCP compliant.  84% Rating:    Table of Contents Filed under: Video Cards Published:  Author:  External Mfg.

Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass the 500MB mark! Each test is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

Quake 4 is an oldie but a goodie. The Palit 9600GT Sonic videocard gives you almost the same performance as the GeForce 7900GTX and Radeon 2900XT. FEAR is up next, then it's on to the DirectX10 benchmarks.
