why don't you try to overclock? I want to see how high it scales.

probably because any of the programs we'd use to OC with doesn't support the card yet.Quote:

Lol, his surely not under a NDA, haha...Quote:

True that. 3dmarks are meaningless, just look at the 2900 .Quote:

this new 98 is going to kick ass!!
lower power faster and cheaper
and guys when nv does put out the next all new card that doubles todays highend performance i hope i dont hear cry'in that its close to 1000$
Your optimism makes me question your sanity.Quote:

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people will buy one as soon as they can regardless, so its going to be a success (its rather amusing reading comments on another forum watching them all cry fake at anything that doesnt claim it will have 2Gb GDDR4, 256SPs and cure cancer). Still, they are in for an upset when they realise what they've spent all thier money on...
The thing that confuses me though is... why is everyone so convinced that Nvidia have some insane chip hidden somewhere that they are refusing to release?
Because frankly it's been 2 years ish the G80 serie has been out. You're telling me in 2 years they didn't have time to develop a stronger product, G92 aside? Of course they did. (and 99% so did ATI) Maybe not insane, but stronger indeed. But why would they want to release it if they can still milk cash with their older process?Quote:

9800gtx seems not to meet the above percentual at all, therefore im not surprised many enthusiasts are upping the middle finger.
That said... i'd still like to grab one even only for a while and see how the shader and SLI optimisation the 9600gt was given reflects on double the shaders, or rather if it does at all.
Because technology gets better over time, not worse. GDDR4 is out there and nVidia is not using it, and with the 8-series already having 768 vRAM, we should be seeing at least a gig in the 9-series. We've been waiting for this card for two years, and all we're seeing here is the same exact technology we've been using since the damn 7-series.Quote:

i think this supposed 9800GTX could be marketed as a 9800GT, or something else...just not 9800GTX
because a 9800gts or a 9800gtX should be a LOT better than this imo.
but im guessing that the true next gen will drop this 7x00, 8x00, 9x00 naming scheme anyway.
calling this G92 thing a GTX is truly an insult to the venerable 8800GTX :D
