VERY Nice OC's. But i still hate the 256 bus and ram.
This will be a super quick card though. But really if you have 8800GTX/Ultra or G92 then you wouldn't need it.
Bring on the next leap plz!
Victor# Could you try to run 3d01 nature on that card some time??:)
Unfortunately Crysis seems to be the only real strain on a GPU. Someone said it earlier, I think it's going to take a complete architecture overhaul, more mem bus, higher vram to attack Crysis.
Intresting request:up: :DQuote:

Same here, but with my GT. I'll be buying a second for $200. SLI sometimes seem to be the biggest inhibitor to upgrades.Quote:

@ fornowagain, the 174.20 drivers are a bit slower than the 169.21 set. For comparable results you need to use the same drivers. When using the 174.20 set I loose about 300-500 points in 06.
holy moly! my 8800gtx that is a weak overclocker 620/980 max will get about 12500 points so for 9800gtx and 8800gts 512 to get 16k at 850 core with a dual core cpu is very nice i must say. I wish that we could get like 20fps more in games instead of 4k in a "useless?" benchmark.
But calling this card a "9800gtx" is pretty much useless just like the 06 benchmark is nowadays.
as an 8800 GTX owner, results like this are hard to interpret. With my quad at 4.5 I can almost hit 16500 on 3DM06. So these "inferior" cards outperform mine by a serious margin. I know that conventional wisdom states that the GTX is a better piece of hardware than the GTS 512 but seeing that it scores so much higher on 3Dmark kinda shakes my confidence...
Confidence in graphics hardware, graphics benchmarking, and most importantly the companies that are trying to sell us their products. If the GTX is truly better than these G92 cards, what are we left to assume? Is Nvidia creating products that produce no real world performance increase, but look better and better in benchmarks to facilitate more spending?
Should I get an 8800 GTS 512 so I can keep up with 3dmark???
Hmm...
meh! :up:Quote:

The only thing that's missing is a Ultra model for the 9 series, than they have a nice cashcow series....
Man this really sucks, hope the RV770 will bring some power. This nV 9 series is a real suck out.
No doubt!Quote:

actually, I'm excited about the 9 series... The result of these new cards is a firesale on 8800 GTXs. I'll just pick up an extra one (or two) of those for 1/2 the price of a 9 series... Tri-sli on the über cheap!!!
:D that 2GB version 9800GTS have 2*SLI slot, so Tri-SLI on 9800GTS 2GB version would be crazy in Games.....6GB vRam @.@
and...yes, plz dont compare the scores atm. 174.20 driver sux !
u can see 03 scores like :banana::banana::banana::banana: :(
Lol, 2GB of ram on a 256-bit bus. There was an 8800GT with that I think, but 1GB 8800GT is kinda a waste in itself.
You would still have "only" 2GB of useable memory.Quote:

This is because all 3 of the cards RAM contains the same information since they are all working on rendering the same scene at the same point in time. This gives you a total amount of RAM of one card. = 2GB. ;)Quote:

Still have those dual and tri sli results commin? Looking forward to it!
