More 9600GT details

More details about Nvidia's upcoming mainstream card were released today.
ChileHardware has some slides. It needs 400W from the power supply and the 6-pin power supply is mandatory.

Dailytech has a more extensive news report where they announce that the card will feature the same 256bit memory interface reported earlier but using 1800MHz RAM with the shaders at 1625MHz and the core at some comfortable 650MHz, like I had posted earlier.

Support for DirectX 10.1 features is still somewhat obscure. From DailyTech:

"NVIDIA publicly confirmed other details of D9M: DirectX 10.1 support, Shader Model 4.0, OpenGL 2.1 and PCIe 2.0 support just to name a few."

If it supports DirectX 10.1 features it has to have shader model 4.1 compliance, so until further disclosure from Nvidia, don't take anything for certain. Conflicting reports also exist for the codename, some claim D9M others D9P.
I don't think they will manage to fit DX10.1 compliance just yet, since the neither the G92 and also doesn't feature it, that should be reserved for the G100 series chips.

The card is expected to see release in March with a $150 price tag, give or take, and compete with the HD3850 256MB but while having 512MB of RAM as a strong selling point.
