It’s been a while since we’ve seen anything from Leadtek, but they have graced us with their presence today bearing a 9600 GSO Extreme which carries with it 384MB of GDDR3 memory.
We’re not quite sure what makes this 9600 GSO so Extreme, but we intend to find out today. Not unlike its 8800 GS twin brother, the 9600 GSO hasn’t really had much attention due to AMD offering two new cards, the 9600GT already being excellent value and of course NVIDIA offering two new high-end models as well.
There are a lot of people on a tight budget though, and the 9600 GSO might come in at a price point that’s most attractive to them. We'll have a look at the Extreme version from Leadtek today and see if it’s worth buying or if should you save a few more dollars and just buy the better known 9600GT.
