Point Of View 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 256bit Dual DVI PCI-E
The 9600's are out now and sit around the same price as the 8800GT's I hear they outperform them as well (unverified).
*EDIT*
ok, doesn't outperform, but:
its 38% lower processing power, and 33% fewer transistors, gaming performance was only 12% below the 8800 GT on average.
