Conclusion
We are used to situation where factory overclocked models have pretty high price tag. Problem in this case is that price of cheaper 8800GT is very near the price of Sparkle Calibre 9600GT (around 160€). This makes Calibre 9600GT little bit overpriced but it really isn’t. Because of great design, performances and sense of owning an exceptional piece of hardware is worth every dime (eurocent). If you are a “regular” user who cares only about performances and keeps his rig closed with no transparent case sides you, should go for 8800GT in this price range. On the other hand, if you do care for visual effect of your rig you should consider Sparkle Calibre 9600GT as serious candidate for your (next) graphics card.
