9800 GTX Reviews

There is also the extra power connector on the 9800GTX and different PCB so the reviews believe that the 9800GTX should overclock better than a GTS. Although I couldn't find any results for overclocking the GTX.

You can overclock the GTS to the GTX stock, however how high with the better cooler and more power can the GTX get too. Interesting that under load it draws less power and lower Operating Temperature then the GTS which will be useful to overclock with.

Will personally wait till we see some reviews where they actually start overclocking the 9800GTX before I decide on anything.

I was also hoping for a display port connection to use on a Dell 3008WFP. I already have plans for the DVI and VGA ports on the monitor.

Maybe the rumours of another refresh card 9900 later this summer will bring this.

Personally I think Nvidia could have prevented a lot of this by naming the G92 GT/GTS/GTX as 8900 rather then keeping the GT/GTS as 8800 and then 9800 for the GTX. They did this with the 7800/7900 and didn't anyway near as much criticism as they are this time around. The 7950GT was almost identical to the 7900GTX but cost less, almost the same as the current GT/GTS/GTX situation.
 
NVIDIAR SLIR just got off the phone from Nvidiar and it not SLI R it a typo and should be pronounced slur.

Yup, the entire G92 range should have been 8900.

16 page review here, Crysis results interesting, also mention of some improved memory compression or something, the final 2 pages have a good summary with some points of view I'd not considered but an interesting read

VR-Zone also have a roundup of 10 cards, Foxconn have one clocked at 780 core, 2360 memory

That article proves my GTS 640mb is complete and utter trash. So need a new card :(

EDIT: Also shows my card uses nearly as much power on load as a GX2 :eek:

Yes looks like yesterdays darling aint so good no more :(. Still a good card can do everything you wop at it. Just be grateful and happy chappy.
 
Well, after reading several reviews and a good chunk of them saying the fan on the GTX sounds like a leafblower strapped to a megaphone and that it offers pretty much zero overclocking potential over a GTS i've just ordered myself a nice quiet BFG 8800GTS 512MB OC.

That'll be my... ooo 4th 8800 card lol... :o

EDIT: No... 5th... :o

Just flash the BIOS with 9800GTX BIOS and sell it on as a new GTX :D.

Getting rid of the X2?.
