Introduction

Recently NVIDIA launched their first card in the GeForce 9 Series. It is based on the new G94 core which uses the same architecture as G92, it actually is G92 with less shaders inside the die. The actual number of shaders is 64, versus 128 on G92. This helps bring down the transistor count and die size, resulting in a manufacturing cost reduction.

EVGA's GeForce 9600 GT SSC comes at greatly increased clocks over the NVIDIA reference design. Even though the cooler is the same, NVIDIA has beefed it up with some EVGA graphics and also adjusted the fan controller speeds it seems.
