GeForce 9600 GSO
If you are familiar with the characteristics of the GeForce 8800 GS, you have probably noticed the fact that it has absolutely no differences from the GeForce 9600 GSO. This is true, NVIDIA simply rebranded the GeForce 8800 GS as the GeForce 9600 GSO and presented the old video card under a new name - and thus another representative of the ninth GeForce series appeared. Along with recommendations regarding operating frequencies, the GeForce 9600 GSO also received a reference PCB and cooling system. However, it is quite rare to find video adapters built in compliance with all NVIDIA recommendations, since manufacturers often use their own developments implemented in the GeForce 8800 GS..
