MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC Review @ Hardwarezone

Hardwarezone reviews the MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC graphics card which is powered by nVidia’s GeForce 9600GT GPU. This MSI card comes pre-overclocked and features an improved two-slot cooler. Hardwarezone gives a final rating of 4.5 out of 5 and writes in the conclusion:

To distinguish itself, MSI has gone through its book of tricks, from overclocking the N9600GT-T2D512-OC to having a custom cooler. The usual MSI proprietary software and applications are mostly missing however, so another ‘Diamond’ edition may be in the works, with features like CoreCell, D.O.T and likely even higher clock speeds. The present version we have now however works at giving users excellent value. No doubt, it is hardly the fastest card, or the quietest or even the coolest. Yet, from our results, it has scored well in all these aspects, making it a well rounded GeForce 9600 GT.

Finally, its value is best exemplified by the very competitive S$299 local price. At this price, one could probably get a basic standard clock GeForce 9600 GT with little frills, though ASUS’ Glaciator equipped GeForce 9600 GT at the same price, does pose an attractive counteroffer to the MSI. The clincher is as we mentioned, a combination of factors that make the MSI an above average choice for those doing comparison shopping. Coupled with the reliability and warranty support of an established vendor, the choice is none too difficult.
