Conclusion

To say that I underestimated Galaxy 9600GT would be an understatement in itself. Barring a few games, this card managed to keep up or close to the faster 9800 GT when it was overclocked. The main use of this card would be for casual gamers or budget gamers playing at a resolution of 1280×1024 or 1440×900 and for a HTPC that needs to have decent gaming capabilities. For those purposes this card is perfect, providing smooth gameplay  in almost all games except the most demanding – i.e. Crysis Warhead and Clear Sky.  Gamers could sacrifice a few quality settings and AA to get smoother gameplay in these and other games, if desired.

Galaxy has taken a good mainstream video card with a good price to performance ratio, and made it smaller, removing the power connector and giving their customers a  better price to performance and features ratio than before.

Pros-

Single Slot

Quiet Cooler even at full load

No external power connector

Perfect card for PhysX

Cons-

Cooler exhausts air into the case

We are happy to give this card Alien Babel Tech “Great Value” Award.
