It’s easy to mistake the Gigabyte GV-N96TSL-1GI videocard for one of the many Geforce 9600GT’s that have been on the market for over a year… after all, one Geforce 9600GT is the same as the next, right? Wrong!
This isn’t an old 9600GT GPU making a comeback with 1GB of GDDR3 memory, this new Geforce 9600GT graphics card from Gigabyte uses the ‘revision B’ nVidia ‘G94′ GPU; it’s built with a smaller manufacturing process, has a physically smaller silicon die, uses less power and consequently runs cooler. Reduced power consumption made it possible for Gigabyte engineers to make the GV-N96TSL-1GI Geforce 9600GT videocard completely fanless. The great thing about passively cooled videocards are that they’re excellent for media center’s, particularly HTPC’s that sit next to the television. The last thing you want to hear while watching a movie is the whine of a VGA cooling fan after all.
