That's kinda old and I don't think it can be counted as a review. Not comparing 9800GT to anything and stuff

Why can't stupid nvidia use numbers. How am i suppose to keep track of gt, xt, gtx, gts, pro, gs, gx2, gso, etc.

[Intern]

XT and Pro isnt nvidia

they are, they took some notes from ati and the next generation gtx series will use numbers to denote the performance

its a review if you want a comparison thats another thing... a review give you numbers from that hardware they are looking at

[ziddey]

the design of the card looks the same as my galaxy 8800gt. same 3 phase power. 2x6pin pcie. single sli. it's got the jumpers for the dual bios too it seems (at least I recall what those jumpers are for. on my galaxy, they're blanked)

same clock speed as my galaxy. why didn't they test it at proper speeds for the 9800gt?

[kemo]

Very low quality pics , can even see the detailed results

[Kai Robinson]

So in other words....its identical to the 8800GT, but with the 8 crossed out and a 9 put in its place? Why not just get the 9800GT's BIOS and flash it onto your 8800GT for the 'extra feature'?

[ziddey]

id like to do that

I believe a 6800 XT was released.

[taemun]

Doesn't an 8800GT get more than that in 06? (not inciting anything, I'm not sure ... never played with one).

t

[ziddey]

and there was the geforce pro and geforce2 pro

[conzymaher]

Is the 9800GT even a die shrink? Or another awesome "lets rename the 8 series to the 9 series and sell it again" cards?

[doompc]

9800GT will have 65nm (G92) and 55nm (G92b) GPUs.
Both supporting Hybrid Power.

[conzymaher]

Ok cool Hybrid power is a nice feature, If only it worked on existing mainboards

Thread title needs to be changed to 'renamed 8800gt review'

Actually they've always done that. It's just that they have many more SKUs than ATI so they append some tags to the end to allow for room like that. Too many numbers don't look very neat either.

fuess the 6800xt doesn't exist then...

[Frank M]

9800GT will have 65nm (G92) and 55nm (G92b) GPUs.

Will there be any way to tell which is which?

(hm... which witch switches which switch? )

nVidia 9800gto vs Pontiac gto: Who's the winner?

[Intern]

I meant it like nvidia dont use it anymore.

[doompc]

(hm... which witch switches which switch? )

Hmmm... GPU-Z... Everest...
I hope only initial cards will have 65nm GPUs.

Anyway, 9800GT must replace 8800GT with the same price.

[RaZz!]

I believe a 6800 XT was released.

...but there was a 5900 XT for sure, as it's sitting in my dad's pc
