Introduction

It has been a while since we've seen anything from XFX, but they're back today with a 9600GT. This particular model we're looking at isn't any ordinary 9600GT, it's the XXX Alpha Dog Edition which sits at the absolute top of the food chain in the world of 9600GTs.

We've looked at so many 9600GT cards over the months that getting one which stands out from the pack isn't an easy task these days. We'll have to see if XFX is just offering a big overclock and nothing more, or if they can actually do something that makes them stand out from the pack that bit more.

Before we get into the clock speeds, let's check out the very cool box and what's inside it.
