The 9600 was released a few days ago. According to HardOCP (http://www.hardocp.com) actual in game testing they are just slightly less powerful than the 8800 GT. And right now the price is just too close since they are selling at most places just a bit above the MSRP, so the prices will drop probably within a few weeks.
Whats interesting to note is that on paper, alot of the 9600's specs seem weak, however with nVidia's new architecture, it beats both AMD cards in the price range (3750 and 3780 iirc) easily and pretty much keeps up with the 8800 with the exception of bumping up a thing here or there.
This is the first time I'm REALLY excited and waiting to see the releases of the other 9x series. I've never much been a GFX guy, but as i'm looking to build a new comp in summer, this deffintly has put a smile on my face.
