Over here at Neoseeker, we took a look at Gigabyte's GV-R96X128D 9600 XT. Gigabyte produces a reference board but they have included 700 Mhz RAM so there is quite a bit of headroom for overclocking on the memory side. A fancy golden heatsink with a blue LED tops off the card. Great card like most other 9600XTs but a couple anomalies -

"There were a few anomalies with the Gigabyte R96XT. Two things that were missing included screen rotation as well as Overdrive. Screen rotation is like Nvidia's Nview utility that allows users of LCDs to rotate their screen. Gigabyte explained that ATI does not enable screen rotation in 3rd Party products which is very odd. Overdrive's benefits are a bit on the questionable side but for that to be missing also is a bit strange since that was one of the more highly touted improvements between the Pro and the XT line from ATI"
