These days, we have received information that the entire truth of the GeForce 9800 GTX chips from nVidia to lead day. Thus, the 1.8 billion transistors graphics card in the second half year presented, and the GeForce 9800 GX2, which is a double of two low clocked D8E is replacing.

The GeForce 9800 GTX is based on an improved GeForce-8 architecture, which among other things DirectX 10.1 functionality. It has 384 shader units, which compared with those of the GeForce-8 percent more powerful generation of 10-15 should be.

The texture units are from 64 to 96 only slightly, also ROPs from 24 to 32 The texture units are from 64 to 96 only slightly, so ROPs from 24 to 32 to the other facilities of the chip is a 512-bit wide memory interface, using the 1000 MHz taktendem, 1024 MiByte great GDDR3 memory-a memory bandwidth of a total of 128 GiB / s provides.

As of the GeForce-8 architecture, the chip internally with a different clock than the shader units to be addressed. While the chip with 650 MHz raised will be the shader units with astonishing 2000 MHz tacts.

Precise information on the power of the video card, we are not yet available, because they are in the 55nm process will be manufactured, it is not exorbitant electricity consumption higher than in the 8800 Ultra. Wie eingangs erwähnt, wird die Karte zu Beginn des dritten Quartals vorgestellt und sollte sich damit dem R700 gegenüberstellen müssen, welcher zur selben Zeit erwartet wird. As mentioned, the map at the beginning of the third quarter presented and should therefore face the R700, which at the same time is expected.


Finally, we want to point out that the information from a credible source from the industry, but it probably only the current development of the chip reflects. Until the launch can be, especially when the clock frequencies, yet differences, which we then if necessary by later news attention.

So, when are these coming out?

Can I point out it's not the exact 8 series architecture but a revised version of it? So it's still improved over the 8 series.

Though the 8800GT is amazing, I'm going to pass on it and get the next great thing such as this. However, I might even wait until the geforce 10 series when they have a 100% brand-new GPU and absolutely insane performance, instead of revising old ones and getting minor performance boosts.

There is only one reason for why I'm probably not going to get ATI ever again:
None of the ATI partners such as Gecube or Sapphire offer a step-up program such as e-vga's. They should really think about it because customer service like that and high-quality cards and bundles are what make evga one of the most popular graphics card brands.

For NVidia to make a very powerful card, ATI/AMD would have to release a card to beat the current offerings.

After seein what the 3870x2 can do, or apparently do. 20k in 3dmark @ 1680x1050. Or thats how i read the odd chart.
