I saw this on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130377It's a 9800 GT superclocked for $149.99 after rebate. Did this card just hit the market because I never heard of a 9800 GT. Anyone have benchmarks?Nvidia 9800 GT?
It's re-badged 8800gtNvidia 9800 GT?

[/QUOTE][url]http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=544%26card2=575[/url]Same exact core was used, and the clock speeds, shader processors, texture units, and render back-ends remain the same.
oh wow O_O. never would have caught that..
9800GT is a die-shrink version of the 8800GT. Our tests actually show that it performs somewhat worse than the 8800GT (by a tiny amount, 1 fps or so on pretty much everything, not quite significant enough to say its really slower). I've heard that it overclocks very well, though (I haven't tried it myself yet).
I'm pretty sure it's the exact same card, I don't think they cut anything out of it.
My bad, got my info wrong, it's just a die-shrink, i'll edit my earlier post so ppl dont get confused, lol
[QUOTE=''iBP_Rickochet'']My bad, got my info wrong, it's just a die-shrink, i'll edit my earlier post so ppl dont get confused, lol[/QUOTE] I don't think it's even a die shrink. Nvidia is considering a die shrink for it (9800GT+?), but the current 9800GT is literally the exact same card as the 8800GT. I don't think they even added Tri-SLI support like they did for the 9800GTX.
Blah... You might be right... i was under the impression that it was a die shrink....or something....You know what? I'm going to try to SLI this with an 8800GT

Well, you were right about it not going SLI by default, time to flash the BIOS.
Post your results. I have a feeling that an 8800gt bios will work on it. I would be shocked if it didnt actually.
shoot, i think my OS install is a bit fubar, i can't read any bios with nibitor 4.3... ah well, i'll try again on a diff system tomorrow morning when i get back in the office.
I cant wait to hear about it. Its got to be the same card with a different bios.
