Default 9600GT or 8800GT?

I was wondering which graphics card to get, I'm stuck between the EVGA 9600Gt and the 8800Gt. The 9600GT is priced at 95$ and the 8800GT is priced at 120$. Is the extra fps worth the 25$? Thanks!

what games do you play? If your just playing guild wars and general web surfing the 9600 should be fine but the 8800 gt imho is worth the extra money

the 8800GT is a far better card - and totally worth it - if you can spend an extra $30 try to get the Radeon 4850 - it's an insanely good card for about $150, if you can find it on sale somewhere.

agreed, get 30 bugs more and buy yourself a 4850, nice card.
