Another review, updated op.:)


'Evolution, Not Revolution

Those looking for a card that destroys the 8800 GTX need not apply. The 9800 GTX should not be looked as a successor to the 8800 GTX cards

Oh dear, i hope Nvidia stop this April Fool's before to long. :D

Come on, put us out of our misery Nvidia, get the haha got yer stories up. :p

From that review :-

'In fact, if you were to overclock a GeForce 8800 GTS 512 graphics card, you would end up with 9800 GTX performance and with the 8800 GTS 512 currently priced around $50 US less, this does make justifying the new 9800 GTX quite difficult.

Pmsl, this is great, of course you would seen as the 9800 GTX is the exact same card, just slightly clocked higher on the shaders/memory. :D :D
 
The reviewers must find it very not hard to not just put "waste of money, buy a 8800GTS 512mb and overclock it" for the conclusion in the review.
 
Yup, its absolutely useless, it doesn't fit in anywhere.

The same card but called 8800 GTS 512mb, is gona be about £100 cheaper on here (as it got upped last night by mistake), and pointless buying them for TRi SLi as well, as 3x GTX's with bigger bus's and more memory can also be TRi SLi'd, and they are cheaper as well. :D

I can see Nvidia forcing ppl to buy these though, by telling their partners, if they have any GTX's etc... kicking about, to bin them, so they can't be bought once the ones out there run out, and also they'll probably slow their production down on their first lot of these cards (8800 GTS 512mbs), and just put them all in storage so that they end up hard to find, so that ppl have no option but to buy these dearer ones as well, as they done that with the 8800 GT, they were storing them all up, and just trickling them out so that they could keep their prices high, and also so that ppl would buy the dearer 8800 GTS 512mb's when they launched instead, GT shortage was a load of guff, the ***** knew what they were doing, they ain't stupid, they must have a plan with these, as think about it, no one is stupid enough to re-launch the same cards at more expensive prices. :)

Need some reviews to show overclocking potential as that is the only reason to go for a 9800GTX over a GTS.

The better v.reg and bigger better quieter cooler might give it the edge in those respects.
 
NV ain't fooling anyone with this, well maybe the odd nub will buy one but this has got to go down as one of the most idiotic GFX card releases ever. :o Grab a GTS while you can and let the 9800GTX rot.
 
This may sound slightly stupid, but can Sli an 9800gtx with a 8800gts, as many have said they're literally the same card (like with 3870's and 3850's can be crossfired together...)

If you have a GTS, why would you buy a GTX to SLI with anyway? just buy another GTS....

Your request comes down to "can I buy 2 8800GTS's and SLI them and throw £50 into the bin?"
 
I doubt you can SLi an 8800GTS and 9800GTX together, they have different Bios and some other differences.
