Palit Geforce 9600
A reworking of an old card from Palit, but it’s not quite enough to beat the 9600 GT

ATI Radeon HD 4000 vs Nvidia GeForce GTX 200
Both graphics card giants have unleashed powerful new additions to their ranks recently, and their battle for supremacy is hotter than ever. We put the new arrivals through their paces

Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX
Fast but disappointing card that delivers only small benefits over its predecessors for a significant price premium.
Jun 24, 2008 4:55 PM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 Ultra
It’s incredibly powerful, but recent releases offer similar performance for significantly less money.
Jun 24, 2008 4:39 PM
ATi Radeon HD 3870 X2
It was all looking good until Nvidia’s new cards overtook it on the final straight.
Jun 24, 2008 4:25 PM
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX
A popular and fast top-end option, but it’s losing its grip to new competition from both sides.

Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT
A wonderful return to form, leaving the disappointment of the 8600 GT as just a distant memory.

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
Great performance at an appealing price, although the 9600 GT encroaches on its turf
Jun 24, 2008 10:35 AM
ATi Radeon HD 3870
Impressive performance for an affordable card, but the 9600 GT treads on its toes.

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS
Affordable and fast, the 8800 GS was our top budget choice until the 9600 GT arrived to spoil the party.

ATi Radeon HD 3850
It had little competition at this price, and it knocks Nvidia 8600 cards out of the race, but Nvidia’s 9600 GT trumps it.
Jun 24, 2008 9:43 AM
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS
Superseded by both Nvidia’s new 9600 card and ATi’s excellent HD 3800 series

ATi Radeon HD 3650
Disappointing gaming ability and a higher price than media-centre cards rule this one out of contention
Jun 23, 2008 4:44 PM
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
It may be affordable, but we’d rather spend a little more to guarantee some genuine gaming ability
Jun 23, 2008 12:04 PM
ATi Radeon HD 3450
A great media-centre card with some nice features – and at an affordable price
Jun 17, 2008 3:11 PM
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2
Takes the crown as today’s fastest graphics architecture, but you’ll have to pay for it
