Hmm...I wonder what will happen if you flash a 8800GTS (g92) with a 9800GTX BIOS....

Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
You can always use modded infs for new drivers to support old cards.
Actually, i am running 174.70 on WinXP32 witn an 8800GT.
Are we there yet?

Review over at TweakTown.
This 9800GTX got some serious power there... I'm sure they added the new compression technology to this GTX, because it is able to compete with HD3870X2 and GX2 in a lot of situations... Driver problem on the dual GPUs or a real trick that Nvidia played us? I would tend for the second option :P And no GTS 512... sucks
i7 2600K @ 4.6GHz/Maximus IV Extreme
2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1866
HD5870 1GB PCS+/OCZ Vertex 120GB +
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Corsair HX850/HAF 932/Acer GD235HZ
Auzentech X-Fi Forte/Sennheiser PC-350 + Corsair SP2500
why can't it have 1gb ram
why can't it have a 512-bit interface?why can't it have 1gb ram
probably for the same reason its not got 1gb ramwhy can't it have a 512-bit interface?
9800GTX is looking much better than I think anyone expected. Will be interesting to see some more reviews on it but i can't believe just oc'ing a GTS would equate to 9800GTX performing on par with GX2. They must have pulled some tricks like with 9600GT.
why cant we have a 9800GTX vs 8800GTX vs 8800GTS G92 review, lol.
that is the only thing we really care about, what is the best
just start taking pics of peoples kidsthe parents will come talk to you shortly. if you have a big creepy van it works faster
well; i trolled thru the tweaktown review...looks exactly as expected...find one for the same $ as an 8800gts 512 - would be a decent buy.
i7 3610QM 1.2-3.2GHz
hmm I think they are out, zip zoom fly has them. but out of stock right away.
it's weird though, they did have the product listed, but NOWHERE else has it. Might of been a fluke
they need to just put the thing out, I wanna buy a new card this week before I blow my money this weekend on something like hookers and blow

yah runnin 174.53 here

I wish they'd do a comparison against the 8800Ultra cause while it beats the 3870x2 and gx2 at times, it doesnt beat the 8800GT OC and the 8800 Ultra can compete against those cards at high reso's fine
It's funny how people are really oversimplifying this card.
I see this thing as an overclockers DREAM COME TRUE.
Since it's only about 50 bucks more than a g92 gts, why not get one!?
512 bit baby, means your min fps will be much higher in those firefights in crysis, and massive troop movements in supcom.
In sli these will be practically unbeatable.
The mem can be oc'd to ~2400mhz and the shader above 2100mhz.
why is everyone talking about moving along!?
EDIT i was wrong. it's only 256 bit. Many of the earlier reviews where saying it would be 512 bit. i'm sorry

As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
"I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki
Today is the release date, there nostradomus.
lol j/k

thats exactly what i am thinking, and hopefully i get one free with step-up.
but since stupid nvidia postponed the launch date, i wont make it, unless they extend the step-up like they did with the GX2
just start taking pics of peoples kids
512bit? Since when?
Considering the GX2 now costs $549.99, I don't see why this card should start out at $500.
CPU: Core i7-2600K@4.8Ghz Mobo: Asus Sabertooth P67 Case: Corsair 700D w/ 800D window
CPU Cooler: Corsair H70 w/ 2 GTs AP-15 GPU: 2xGigabyte GTX 670 WindForce OC SLI
RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws PSU: Corsair AX850W Sound card: Asus Xonar DX + Fiio E9
HDD: Crucial M4 128GB + 4TB HDD Display: 3x30" Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC
Speakers: Logitech Z-5500 Headphone: Sennheiser HD650
It's 256-bit, not 512-bit.
you guys are right. I was misinformed, should have done more research. I guess making the transition from 256 to 512 bit is a pretty complicated process.
My point though still stands, if you can get one of these for 300 bucks in a month or two, (instead of a gts that costs 250, or even 220ish after rebate)
i think it is a good deal, just for the memory which default clocks are 2200 mhz. The default memory bandwidth is 128 gb/second. I have an 8800gts 640
with the mem overclocked to 2060mhz, and the mem bandwidth is only 84 gb/s (according to gpu-z).
I can definitely see how it's release is a bit underwhelming, but at it's price point i think it is a pretty good deal.
