Pricing and Availability The estimated MSRP of the BFG 9600 GT is about $189 - right in the mix of where NVIDIA is hoping the majority of 9600 GTs will fall.  If NVIDIA and BFG are successful in implementing the pricing structure that we outlined earlier, the 9600 GT will be priced between the HD 3850 and the HD 3870 - a great spot to be at when you are running faster than BOTH of those cards in most cases.  </blockquote>
