Introduction

Just when we thought we would no longer receive any more 9600 GTs because we figured we'd reviewed just about every single one on the market, ASUS has decided to run around and release a new one.

The particular card we're looking at today is part of the Republic of Gamers collection, which is something we tend to see more in the motherboard department. It makes a lot of sense, though, that ASUS are going to expand this popular naming scheme out to more than just motherboards.

This new card comes to us as the EN9600GT Matrix. Matrix is also something we haven't heard of from ASUS before, so it will be interesting to see if they're going to start creating some new lines.

Let's check out the package and what's inside before we move onto the actual card. Once we've done all of that, we'll get stuck into the benchmark results of the card and see if it can do anything to stand out.
