Equipped with a pure cooper cooler from Zalman
NVIDIA's GeForce 9 series kicks off today in the form of the 9600GT, a mid-range SKU taking fire at ATI's very decent Radeon HD3850 and HD3870.
One manufacturer hasn't wasted anytime in launching its first 9600GT products and that manufacturer is the not-yet-common VVIKOO. The Paris-based manufacturer of high-end and mainstream products of NVIDIA and ATI chipsets, has today launched its GeForce 9600GT and 9600GT Turbo.
The Turbo offering supports PCI-Express 2.0, provides 64 units of stream processors, and 512MB of GDDR3 memory. It's GPU is pre-overclocked at 700MHz and its memory gets similar treatment at 2000MHz.
Helping keep the Turbo cool is a quadruple heat-pipe cooler from Zalman, previously used on VVIKOO's GeForce 8800GT MAX.
