XFX has launched its first 9000 series graphics card in India, featuring PureVideo HD technology enabling HD-DVD and Blu-ray video playback. The GeForce 9600 GT claims up to 90 percent greater performance than any GeForce card in its class.
The card offers support for DirectX 10 and is HDMI-capable. It features Nvidia's Quantum Effects technology, the Lumenex engine, as well as a Unified Architecture, which is good news for those who want to play the latest games. The GPU runs at 650 MHz, with XFX-overclocked versions available in the Extreme and XXX editions, pushing it to 680 and 700 MHz respectively.

Compatible with PCI-Express and PCI-Express 2.0, the GeForce 9600 GT promises top-notch capability and performance for OpenGL applications. Users can expect realistic game effects in titles such as Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and more.
Naturally, the card also promises a premium 3D experience with Windows Vista and Windows Media Center. According to XFX, the dual dual-link DVI support enables the 9600 GT to drive the industry's largest and highest-resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560 x 1600, and also supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

The GeForce 9600 GT and 9600 GT XXX (overclocked) editions are available from Rashi Peripherals at an estimated street price of Rs 13,990 and Rs 14,990 respectively.
