Does anyone know how they compare? I'm just curious, they both have 256MB of ram, the 9600M has GDDR3 while the 320M has just DDR3...

I mean there's probably still a gap but it's definitely getting smaller now.

Yeah I didn't see the other threads, just popped up.

I know the 9600M is more powerful, I just want to know by how much.

How about the 330M Vs. 9600MGT?

Appears to be a little faster -- not much. Basically, it has more cores, so it seems to come out around 50% faster. It's otherwise basically the same hardware, and likewise, basically the same as the 8600M GT, only faster. The 9600M GT was just a better-clocked 8600M on smaller process, the 330M is roughly the same hardware with 50% more shaders. That's it.

320M is crap compared to 9600M; 330M is a die-shrink of the 9700M, so it's a bit better.

We could use a detailed 3DMark06-Scoring of a 9600GT. A detailed scoring of the 320M is around in another thread. We need all three numbers, not only the final score (because we must leave out CPU score)

The difference between the 330m and 9600m is larger than the difference between the 9600m and the 320m. :rolleyes:

The 330m is alot better than the 9600m btw. The 330m performs around 50% faster than the 9600m GT.

Wow... I feel kind of jipped that I bought the 15 inch 2.53ghz 2008 uMBP even though it was as a Refurb. Feels like I would have gotten a better machine out of the 13 inch MBP... and more compact too... and I would have gotten an SD card reader.
