NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT Info
Several news sources wrote today that NVIDIA is planning to advance the process technology of its G92 GPUs to the 55nm node in July, in order to lower costs and increase core clocks. The 55nm G92 GPUs will be codenamed G92b and most probably will make their first debut under the name GeForce 9800 GT. Codenamed G92-280 the GeForce 9800 GT cards will also use a new P393-C00 PCB that supports Hybrid Power, a feature that allows integrated graphics if presented to take control of the system when in 2D environment, and switch back to the main video card when a 3D application is started. There will be 256MB and 512MB GDDR3 versions clocked at 900MHz and 975MHz respectively. The core clock speeds have not been determined yet, but according to VR-Zone the cards will be clocked higher than the current stock GeForce 8800 GTs (default speed: 600MHz).

i wonder why they wont move to gddr4? or is that an ATi only thing?
least you can't stay the 9800GT won't be different than the rest of them.

I'll wait a bit more, to G92c :laugh: (any rumored specs for G92d??)
i think i might hold out fo a card like this if its cheap
o well what ever works for nvidia
Anyway, DDR4 isnt out because its expensive and they'd need to redesign the cards - ATI ran into a shortage problem at one point with the 2900XTX, which is why it was scrapped. Nothing would be more annoying than having a winner of a card, and no ram to put on it...
anyway these are only mid range cards! DDR3 is fine for this price point.
I really want a good SLI board now, two of these + hybrid power...
I really like this HP Nvidia OEM single 9800GT super +1GB
I think it's alot better than I was thinking it would be.
Stock 11,800 with 25MHz more in each GPU/MEM/Shader each time it jumps score 200 points.
12,500-13,200 is 3Dmark 06 with patches.
I am stable at gaming for hrs at these clocking.
GPU 600@665
MEM 1800 @1950
Shader 1.5@1.565
I got my setup at HP in July most software called the die 65 until software updates can see the 55nm die never troubles. overall i give HP 7.8 overall for setup. I added monitor sound card and spekers

( 3DMark 06 scores are pretty close to my 9600GTs)
So this one has the 2 SLI connections on each card (a la Tri SLI) but wont run tri sli. What was the point of making a card with 2 sli connections if it cant make use of Tri Sli?
