My 9800gt graphics card that I had in my computer fora while died on me, and I remembered I had a 9600 gt somewhere in the house. When I found it I noticed that it had more memory on it.
the 9800gt has 512mb, and the 9600gt has 1024mb.
my question is does this mean the 9600gt is better than the 9800gt that i had? What is the difference in the 9800 and 9600 exactly?
Oh and they are both nvidia graphics cards.
The amount of memory isn't something you should compare in the first place. There are more factors that make a card good.
I used to have a 9600 GT with 512 MB, it was pretty decent while it lasted, never tried a 9800 GT tho.
I'm sure the #800 ones are generally better than the #600 ones.

well I already own both, I'm just wondering if my 9600gt is better than my 9800gt that i used.
I have a 9600GT, I like it better than my older 9800GT

well opinions aren't really what I wanted, I just wanted to know which one of the two cards that I have is better.
9800 GT is a nice step up from the 9600 GT.
If it helps, it looks like a 9800 gt is a renamed 8800 gt
Might be easier to get benchmarks
the 9800GT is better
9800 GT is better but if you're playing at some abnormal resolution with lots of anti aliasing then the 9600 may even out the gap
9800Gt is better.
You only use Vram for large resolutions and aa (which is the same).

This
My friend has a 9600GT and it runs pretty good in Source games at +50 fps on 1440x900 resolution (compared to 20-30fps with my old 9500GT on 1600x900 resolution)
