[Uni] Asus 9800gts first look and 3dmark suite

[VictorWang]

got a pretty strange card.
seems a fully upgraded version of 8800gts.

still, G92 core, 512m, 1.0ns_ram.
rated at 600/1500/900.

but...better pwm design.(or it's Asus's own design, who knows )




tests and bios here:
http://www.unihw.com/html/18/n-118.html


will post some overclking results after i find a good cooler

[metro.cl]

is the official name 9800GTS?

[zanzabar]

that looks identical to teh gts512 im not sure what the point is, it even looks the same except for the blue pcb

[ShArKo]

Nice VGA, there's any bench mark ?????

I like the blue PCB, but its not my favorite. :p

[NH|Delph1]

Is it too much to ask for a close-up of the core?

why does this seem so disappointing....... A single 8800gtx(stock) with a 3.0ghz kentsfield can beat that 06 score (never benched the others). I also know for a fact that a 8800gtx(still stock) would smoke that score if used in the 4.5 ghz yorkfield(change that to wolfdale or w/e the server version is called, sorry) system.....



EDIT: I just saw the cpu score..... 4239.... my quad gets 4530 at 3.46 (13x266)

more

EDIT AGAIN: Mine is in Vista too......

even more

[Aleki]

well if these cards yield that little of performance gain, i'm glad i bought the last gen stuff...
i'm begining to think these are just fillers so nvidia doesnt fall back a generation. seems like ati will win this round for performance if their releases hold true.
but we'll see...

driver's not ready yet.
vGPU=1.1v
vRam=2.0v
3phase pwm for GPU_Core
1phase pwm for vRam

so i'm regard it as a low-volt version 8800gts

dual core CPUs score a much worse CPU point score than quads

actually your CPU score is a little poor if anything

[VictorWang]

is the official name 9800GTS?

at least, driver and bios say so

[wolvers69]

If it's a 9000 series card shouldn't it have a second sli connector?

[clonez]

pure disappointment...

edit: nah, only high-end (gtx+ ultra cards)

[dinos22]

If it's a 9000 series card shouldn't it have a second sli connector?

probably GTX ONLY tripple SLI capable
rest dual

Sorry , I just thought of that in the middle of running 06 a second ago. My cpu score isn't that great because my fsb is 1066. I get better scores if I oc it, I just waiting for my new case and to wc my board too. I also have a bunch of stuff running in the background(antivirus, utorrent, coldfusion server) I still don't see me getting much higher than 5k on the cpu with fsb oc'd. I still feel that the 9800gts 06 score is . Ive seen 9800gtx scores in other thread with quads clocked that high and they aren't much better.

interesting info

do you know the shaders yet?

[VictorWang]

how can i measure shader volt @.@

[wolvers69]

How does that score compare with an 8800gts 512 and the same cpu then?

88gtx/88ultra/88gts/98gts/98gtx should be same performance at the same clk.

[OBR]

it is GeForce 8800 GT 512MB replacement!

Geforces 8 are DEAD! New era begins ...

8800 GT 512 --> 9800 GTS
8800 GTS 512 --> 9800 GTX
8800 GTX/Ultra --> 9800GX2

This is "magical 9" nvidias month ...

Graphics 9 series, chipset 9 series ... lifts at 18.3.2008!

overclking test coming out:

http://www.unihw.com/viewnews-118-page-2.html

cooling by Zalman VF-900 ,
ambient=17c
no additional cooling
at vGPU=1.1v and such bad cooling, i think it's an nice overclking
GPU=713mhz, Ram=1065mhz, shader=1782mhz
with shader>1845, i can't clk ram>1000mhz, same situation happened on 88gt/gts

[Levish]

8800gts 512 do 800mhz+ on factory cooler :| (mine can at least)

not sure what the core voltage is but it doesn't matter since it's not adjustable outside of voltmods.

its a bit of a letdown, i'll agree with the others

[RPGWiZaRD]

Gotta love NVIDIA marketing, I don't know if I should cry or laugh.

Guess now they can also blame the 8800GT shortages that they're already planning on a "new" product, ie. 9800GTS, isn't it wonderful!

88gts=1.18v

88gt=1.1v

after vmod, 88gt can run almost same clk as 88gts

[SuperPysz]

i confused? shader volt? sorry, i should have specified # of shaders instead of asking "do you know the shaders yet?"

so starting a new.
how many shaders does it have?

[deathman20]

88gts=1.18v

88gt=1.1v

after vmod, 88gt can run almost same clk as 88gts

Well actually doesn't the 8800GT stock run 1.05V? With the bios mod it jacks it up to 1.1V.

I know my 8800GT clocks nicely with the extra voltage I'd love to give it more volts, since my cooling solution works great I don't think its changed tempature at all from the increased clocks and voltages.
