Create Account How it WorksI would suggest a nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX or Ultra.
Under Windows Vista on a 680i SLI motherboard with an Intel 3GHz E6850 processor and 2GB RAM, the 9600GT shows plenty of promise even with early drivers (171.16 beta). The SLI 9600GT setup manages to beat the 8800 Ultra under 3DMark06 by quite some margin – 13080 vs. 12142 marks. For reference, a single 9600GT will get you just over the 10k point mark.
Considering the price of the Ultra and what the mid-range 9600GT will probably be, it looks as if Nvidia already have a winner on their hands. Keep in mind the 9600GT is still at least a few weeks away and that will give the driver people at Nvidia even more chance to find tune the driver and suck even more performance out of the card.
I buy my GPU for games not to benchmark 3Dmark06. With the introduction of the 8800GTS 512mb, there is no reason to suggest the GTX or ultra.Also, for those suggesting a 8800GTX or 8800Ultra (disregarding the fact that they are way out of his budget), you should read this to realize how much of a pointless waste of money that would be:
