9800GTX GPU-z screen shot and 3Dmark06 score

[cookerjc]

The 0.1.7 didn't work with 9800GTX. After W1zzard@TPU make some change on his GPU-Z, the tool can read all the data of the card. Thanks, W1zzard!

This thing is just a oced 8800GTS... Now the quesetion for me is 9800GTX or 9800GX2?

[Surago]

But in comparison to an 8800 GTX, it has fewer ROPs (16 vs 24), Still only DX 10.0 Support, smaller bus (256bit vs 384Bit), less RAM (512mb vs 768mb), less bandwidth (70.4GB/sec vs 86.4GB/sec).

But has higher clocks 675mhz vs 575mhz GPU, 1100mhz vs 900mhz Mem, 1688mhz vs 1350mhz Shader.

Really doesn’t seem like a great jump to me, but specs aside i wonder how it runs.

[ether.real]

This is exceedingly lame.

[metro.cl]

does this card have the same compression optimization as 9600GT?

[Tuvok-LuR-]

9600gt is 94 so I guess no

[Drunner611]

256bit bus. Weren't we hoping for 512bit? Or am I all messed up?

[cajer]

9600gt is 94 so I guess no

um... the 9600GT has 64 stream procs

[CraptacularOne]

um... the 9600GT has 64 stream procs

He was talking about the core revision. The 9600GT is a G94 based card. The 9800GTX is a G92.

[cajer]

Ah ok. Hopefully they also gave it the same texture compressions though.

[metro.cl]

I hope so, this way 9800GTX as we know it will be worth buying if not i guess many will go for other solutions

I'm sure it will have the same optimizations. Otherwise there is no reason to even consider this card over the 8800GTX or 8800Ultra.

[fornowagain]

The G92 has the same as the G94.

[ripken204]

one reason would be if my step up option is still available, lol. otherwise its pointless to get this things. im very disapointed.

[Vryada]

how long will it take 'till someone benches it? seems like we've been waiting forever

[turtletrax]

This is exceedingly lame.

+1. Thanks for upping the GAY NV

here's a pic of my 8800GTX @stock side by side

Actual performance numbers put aside, how can NVIDIA even give this card the name 9800GTX is beyond me, perhaps we're gonna see some 20% speed boost or maybe about same as Ultra but I guess that's the point of this card to get the Ultra replaced with G92 and giving it tri-SLI support for some hope for rich bastards to jump onto that wagon but calling it 9800GTX jeez.

[safan80]

at least it will lower the price of the 8800GTX on ebay lol

can anyone do this and throw up a stock 8800GTS 512 GPU-z Screenshot for a side-by-side comparison with the 9800GTX?

thought g80/ultras already had tri-sli support?

[disruptfam]

hmmmmm

[SmaKKed]

Hmmmmm, doesnt look like much of an upgrade

[cajer]

so... 9800gx2 or 9800gtx?
