NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX Card Specs and Pictures
VR-Zone has obtained some details and photos of the first single GPU high-end GeForce 9 series card. The 65nm G92 based GeForce 9800 GTX (G92-P392) will come with 12-layer PCB. It will be clocked at 673MHz for the core and 1683MHz for the shader while memory clock speed is yet to be determined. The memory interface is 256-bit with 512MB of 136-pin BGA GDDR3 memory onboard. The card will come with two DVI-I and one HDTV-out. As mentioned earlier all GeForce 9800 GTX will have two SLI connectors (3-way SLI ready) and two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The card will be cooled by the CoolerMaster TM67 cooler where the fan is rated at 0.34A, 4.08W, 2900rpm, 34dBA. During 100% load the card will consume around 168W. The GeForce 9800 GTX is set to be released around April.

edit: nvm I didn't realize that they are using the same core as the 8800GT (which had the cost reduction measures applied to remain competitive) so I guess that we can just overclock a 8800GT and well know how these will perform?
The main idea for cutting back to 256bit, is they found that the price difference is really not worth the performance difference, and its costs a lot less to make a 256bit card compared to a 512bit card.
Now that they learned their lesson, that wont be a mistake again.
256bit also cuts down overclocking performance why do you think they where always using 2900xt's
for wr 3dmark06, i think its time for the gpu buisness to make 512bit a standard for high-end cards
