Nvidia 9 series

I am looking to upgrade my video card, and due to the problems with the 8 series, I am considering going with a 9 series, specifically, the 9600 GT. Has anyone had any issues with this particular card or any of the 9 series Nvidia cards? Thanks.
 
From what I've read the 9600GT is solid at its price point.

If you're looking for a little more juice for about $60 more you can look at the 8800 GTS 512mb, which is actually different from the other 8000 series and the same architecture 9000 series. However if you're playing below 1600x1200 resolution, then the 9600GT would probably work very well for you.

This is a pretty decent review if you're looking for where it stands with other graphics cards.

I'm using an overclocked ECS 9600gt and it works great. I wouldn't recommend the 8800gts at all to be honest though. it's louder it's performance gain is pretty minimal and if your gonna spend 60 dollars more you might as well sli 9600 gso's instead.
 
I believe what Brego was referring to is the polygon / texture issue that the 8x series has specifically with SoD.

To answer the question I haven't had a chance to test it, but I myself have 2 8800's in two of my computers and have the issue on both. Its very annoying to say the least.
 
Yes, the texture / polygon issues is what I was referring to. SoD is not the ONLY game I play, but I do play it alot, and to have crazy graphic bugs and glitches would likely make me look for fun elsewhere eventually. If I can get faster graphic processing power, while still able to avoid the known bugs in SoD, that would be ideal.

I use it myself and haven't had any problems. I'm not using the beta drivers though
