It seems that it's impossible for NVIDIA to keep information under control these days as with each and any release some dodgy website will end up with a card one way or the other. Earlier this week the first preliminary results on GeForce 9600 GT (codename D9X) leaked onto the web by way of an online review. Chinese review site PC Online was able to put the new reference card to the test to see if it can keep up with the competition from ATI.
Appearantly to PC Online the 9600GT will come factory configured with a core clock speed of 650 MHz, a unified shader clock speed of 1625 MHz, and an 1800 MHz memory clock. From the photographs it looks like 512MB of GDDR3 1000 MHz memory is connected to the GPU by way of a 256-bit bus with a memory bandwidth of 57.6 GB/s. The G94 chip will also offer 64 unified stream processors; double the number on the 8600GT and half the number on the 8800 series.
The photographs show a smaller GPU die size than the G92 chips but slightly larger than the G84 die. PC Online was able to measure the performance of the 9600GT and the results confirmed NVIDIA's claims of a 100% performance increase over the 8600 series for the most part. The 9600 GT reached an overall score of 10813 while the 8600GTS and 8800GS had scores of 6251 and 10391, respectively.
Obviously at the actual launch we'll bring you guys full trustworthy reviews on the upcoming mid-range graphics adapters from NVIDIA.
