    Standard, XT, XXX, XXX Alpha Dog
    GPU Clock MHz
    The main attributes of the GPU are the core clock rate, which typically ranges from 250 MHz to 1200 MHz in modern cards.
    650 - 740 MHz
    Shader Clock (MHz)
    The number of pipelines (vertex and fragment shaders), which translate a 3D image characterized by vertices and lines into a 2D image formed by pixels.
    1625 - 1790 MHz
    Stream Processors
    Through the use of stream processing, computer benefit from the ability to transparently access a large number of 'cores' (or, computational units) on a chip without having to separately manage each and every one of them along with their associated busses, memories, I/O, etc.
    64
    Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec)
    This is the speed at an image can be rendered or "painted". This rate is specified in texels per second, the number of 3D pixels that can be painted per second. A texel is a pixel with depth (3D). The fill rate comes from the combined performance of the clock speed of the processor and the number of pixels it can process per clock cycle, and will tell you how quickly an image can be fully rendered on screen.
    20.8 - 23.68 Billion/Sec
    Vertices/second (Billion)
    Graphics chips don't work on curves, rather they process flat surfaces. A curve is created by multiple flat planes arranged to look like a curve. 3D objects are created with multiple triangular surfaces, sometimes hundreds or even thousands, tessellated to represent the curves and angles of the real world. 3D artists are concerned with the number of polygons required to form a shape.
    N/A
    Pixels per clock (peak)
    This impacts on the rendering capability of the GRU. The clock speed itself is not the critical factor. Rather it is the per-clock performance of the graphics processor, which is indicated by the number of pixels it can process per clock cycle.
    32
    Memory Interface Bus (bit)
    The bit data rate between memory and the GPU.
    256
    Memory Type
    VRAM was typically based on DDR technology. During and after that year, manufacturers moved towards the vastly superior DDR2, GDDR3 and GDDR4.
    DDR3
    Memory Size (MB)
    the video card will have its own video memory which is called Video RAM or VRAM. The VRAM capacity of most modern video cards range from 128 MB to 2.0 GB.
    512 - 1000 MB
    Memory Clock (MHz)
    The memory clock rate in modern cards are generally between 400 MHz and 2.4 GHz.
    1800 - 2000 MHz
    Turbo Cache Technology
    The revolutionary TurboCache technology utilizes the additional bandwidth of the PCI Express graphics bus to reach higher levels of graphics performance than traditional video memory solutions, delivering the performance and features you expect from NVIDIA graphics hardware. By allowing the graphics processing unit (GPU) to share the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system memory, TurboCache turbocharges performance and provides larger total graphics memory.

    Cooling Heatsink
    Generally referred to as a passive cooling device, it has no moving parts and, therefore, is soundless and very reliable; it absorbs and dissipates heat from the GPU using thermal contact (by either direct or radiant contact with a cooling medium such as air).
    -
    Cooling Fansink
    Sometimes known as an active cooling device, a small electrical fan which drives air across a heat sink and as such will generate a small amount of noise. It is more effective than a heat sink alone at cooling.

    XFX 9600 GT 512MB Review: Surprising Amount of Performance
    OCC Gold
    For XFX 9600 GT, Nvidia and XFX have delivered a video card that gives a surprising amount of performance for the money spent.In many of the benchmarks, the stock speed performance was similar, if not better than the HD3870. Now once the overclocking started, most of the performance gaps between the HD3870 and 9600GT were erased, with the exception being the performance in Call Of Duty 4 and BioShock. The performance gap was there but not as pronounced. Speaking of overclocking, the XFX 9600GT has a good bit of headroom, allowing for overclocking the base model up to, and beyond the XXX model clock and memory speeds.Pros: Quiet, Good performance per Dollar, Overclocking ability, Overclocking headroom, Affordable performance for the masses. Cons: None.
