That would be Rage3D. But thank god they cant get a solid card reviewer going to save their lives (thank god).

ChrisRay? I dont think he does reviews for them. I dont know, I havent been to that site in months (as far as they know LOL) b/c I was "perma banned" for lashing out to fanboys and the sub par biased mod team there.

well, these cards apparently are hitting 840-850mhz core, its certainly quite speedy for its price at that frequency.the 4850 apparently tops out at 680-700mhz core, hard to say which card is ultimately faster, the amd cards definitely do more work per clock.

[Starscream]

Shouldnt in some time the 55nm core also apear on the normal GTX?

Nvidia would be dumb to make both the 65nm and 55nm as the 55 is cheaper to produce and should also be cheaper to buy for the manufacturers.

Why buy a 9800GTX+ when you can get a 8800GTS and run at 9800GTX+ speeds Good one nvidia. I can get 750/1900/2100 on stock vcore with my evga 8800GTS.

I'm folding right now @ 810/2052/2200 on stock vcore/cooling... What's your point? The 8800GTS has been officially EOL for sometime now and will probably be gone from the market entirely in the near future. The 9800GTX+ @ $229(MSRP) is a better buy, 850+/2200+/2400+. With shader clocks like that it should be a monster folder.



-EDIT-

I will say that the Zotac 8800GTS for $147 after $40MIR at fxvideocards is still a fairly good price, probably a better deal than the 9800GTX+ for $229... Zotac even offers a lifetime warranty with registration new.
