Only just the other day we looked at the GIGABYTE 9600GT TurboForce 512MB; today we look at the 1GB version of this card. While we’ve never been a huge fan of 1GB mid-range cards, the GIGABYTE TurboForce version carrying with it a hefty core and memory increase seemed to help the card out a little bit more.

It made sense that we include the 512MB version of the card in our testing today. We’ve also included the Sapphire HD 3870 Ultimate which is a passively cooled card as well.
