Heya,
I already have 2 graphic cards : a 9500 GT of 1GB and a 9600GT of 512MB,
which one should I keep?
I am interested in games and stuff, and i use the resolution of 1024x768.
Thanks.
 


What motherboard do you have? Do you have an SLI compatible board?

But if you dont and you are only planning on using one GPU I would defenitly say use the 9600gt as it is better for gaming and is usually the entry level GPU for high resolution games. Since you said you are using 1024x768 then you can play almost any game including Crysis on high with that graphics card.

The 9500gt is good for media, even HD, and older games but the 9600gt was built to play games and can do more overall. Also if you like to watch movies,check which of those cards have an HDMI output and if you do have an HDTV or a LCD with an HDMI output you can watch HD movies and high quality Dvds and videos using that card, but in the end the 9600gt is still the better one of the two.
