Yes 8800GT > 9600GT.
9600GT is mid range card of 9th generation geforce
8800GT is slowest high end part of 8th generation geforce.

Mid range parts are always the X600 GT/GS/GTS series.
Remember Geforce FX 5600, then Geforce 6600, then Geforce 7600, Geforce 8600 and now geforce 9600

Mid range parts of new generation are usually slower than high end parts of last generation. :)

you don't make profit off 2nd-hand computer products. Graphics cards, like other computer peripherals and components, have a lifetime, one of the factors of which is how you treated it (temperature, etc). So pretty much you sell it for around 1/2 price...

Not only did you buy a 8600 GT..heh you bought the 512mb DDR2 version..like me :mad:

EPIC FAIL

That card is majorly overpriced and the extra RAM is useless and SLOWER than the CHEAPER 256mb DDR3 version. You must find a n00b to buy your card from you, just like I am going to... as soon as I have enough cash for a 9800 :)
