Missed the most important "bench" for me, dual 6-pin connectors, how much juice is this puppy taking? Also it still looks like Nvidia will get pwned $229<$189.

Ever since the 8800 GT, Nvidia has been slapping everyone who buys their products in the face. Every few months they devalue their products and price a better one at the price you originally bought an inferior product with. 9600, 9800, now the 9800+, and the GTX 280 for those who bought the GX2.
Agreed. Quite lame and hardly the way to run any sort of comparisons :down:Quote:

Explain to me how this is ONLY nvidia doing the slapping? And is it really slapping when its a mostly natural product lifecycle? :shrug:
i don't think 9800gtx+ was natural :)
Here let me make this a little more readable for you....Quote:

I can only say Nvidia's business practices as far as profit and running a business are spot on. Why not do this? To NOT piss off a bunch of whiney kids on forums about naming conventions? PUH LEASE people, get a grip, take a step back and look at the big picture. How does this in any way HURT the consumer? Competition is bad suddenly? You are going to complain that the 9800GTX which is ~8-10% slower than the + dropped (or will) almost 33%? Are you also going to complain that with this competition it may drive the 4850 down in price a couple dollars also??
It seems these companies just cant win with a lot fo you people!!
from what i've seen 4850 is beating out the 9800gtx in most games
So a 9800GTX+ is just a OCed 9800GTX, then why not OC the 4850 and compare them.
not exactly,the 9800gtx is a 65nm chip and the gtx+ is a 55nm chip.You can over clock the gtx+ further after you buy it,its not a super clocked 65nm chip.It should have decent headroom for more overclocking.Quote:

I got a simple answer to the speculation. Wait a week until some average Joe benchmark addicts, who only care about scores and not brands get the cards and post real reviews on forums.
The guys who pay for parts don't need to butter any muffins.
hahahaha...where ATISQUAD Site .....Quote:

Interesting!
Very nice results from Nvidia.
Some of the review sites are saying July for availability. Hopefully they come here before then.
As for the $229 thing. The regular 4850 is $199, and yes, there WILL be a $229 4850. The one from HIS will be specially interesting. :D
Perkam
well, these cards apparently are hitting 840-850mhz core, its certainly quite speedy for its price at that frequency.the 4850 apparently tops out at 680-700mhz core, hard to say which card is ultimately faster, the amd cards definitely do more work per clock.
Shouldnt in some time the 55nm core also apear on the normal GTX?
Nvidia would be dumb to make both the 65nm and 55nm as the 55 is cheaper to produce and should also be cheaper to buy for the manufacturers.
Although probable, that isn't certain nor proven.Quote:

As is, my GTX clocks at 800 w/o any artifacts and the mem at 2400......so kinda not seeing the point in getting one of those GTX+, except for the market gimmick. Looks just like a competition for the rival's new upcoming card.
Oh well!
Why buy a 9800GTX+ when you can get a 8800GTS and run at 9800GTX+ speeds :rofl: Good one nvidia. I can get 750/1900/2100 on stock vcore with my evga 8800GTS.
That doesn't make sense unless the GTX+ for some reason cant overclock.Quote:

ATI already has a 4850+ OCed version to counter this, and it's scheduled to come out around the same time.
legit reviews got their card to 855/2200/2550 on stock volts and cooling...so, yea, thats why you would buy a 9800gtx+ lol.Quote:
