The cards within the GeForce 9 graphics card series are built on a 65nm format, which is a major step forward in performance and power consumption.
Another huge change is the support and compatibility for the PCI-Express 2.0 bus. The maximum band-width which can be used for the graphics card is literally doubled from a 2.5 Gbit/sec to 5.0 Gbit/sec. (PCI-Express 1.0 / 2.0). Ready for the future, you can expect these monsters to outperform all predecessors on the market!
To get into detail on the GeForce 9600 GT: this 512 MB GDDR3 packing monster has a heavily updated GPU running on 650 MHz. The DDR3 memory chips have a speed of 1800 MHz and the internal shader processors run at a monstrous clock speed of 1625 MHz.
