GeXcube Radeon 9600XT Extreme
Final Words
 Already after the first tests of GeForce FX5700 Ultra it became evident that NVIDIA decided to gain revenge at any price. Its direct competitor, Radeon 9600XT lost at all the benchmarks (except AquaMark 3 and Village Mark).
"Regain the reputation at any price!" - even at the expense of income drop per sales unit (GeForce FX5700 Ultra is much more costly to produce than Radeon 9600XT). The difference was such that it was hard to imagine a card on the base of RV360 can be created to approach the NV36. But GigaXcube did that. The card takes quite an honorable place in the common line thus shrinking the gap between the yesterday's high-end and today's mainstream:
But if the cooling system is modified, then the overclockers will get a true pleasure watching the results of their skilful hands.
The "GeXcube Radeon 9600XT Extreme" only in a day or two may hit the retail. Therefore, its "unofficial price" has not yet been announced so far. Reminding it that today's price for a standard Radeon 9600XT is somewhere within 200-210$.
Pros:
- Modified PCB design;
- Improved cooling system;
- Use of faster memory.
Cons:
- Thermal "chewing-gum" instead of thermal paste.
