Which graphics card should i get...

[charlzz93]

Im on a bit of a budget so which card is better for gaming, the 9500gt 1gb or the 9600gso 768mb

I'd probably go with the 9600, just because it's chipset is newer, and its GPU is more powerful, which makes up for the less GRAM. You really can't go wrong, though- either way

This is the specification of 9500GT :http://www.nvidia.com/object/product...gt_us.htmlThis is the specification of 9600GSO : http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce...so.htmlbetween these two I think 9600GSO is better and faster but i don't have any knowledge about 9500GT 1gb and 9600GSO 768mb.

Short answer: get the 9600gso for sure.A 512MB 9500gt is about as fast as a 8600gts. Usually, taking a 512MB card and turning it into a 1GB card doesn't help performance except maybe at extremely high resolutions. It's pretty much a marketing gimmick --- putting lipstick on a pig.The 9600gso is a good budget card --- much much better than a 8600gts. Adding extra memory to the 384MB it usually comes with helps in this case.
