Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX Specs Detailed

As we're closing in on the one year anniversary of the GeForce 8800 Ultra it's natural to start wondering about the new high-end offers prepared by Nvidia. The Santa Clara company is already known to be getting close to releasing the dual-GPU, dual-PCB GeForce 9800 GX2 but more 9-series cards are on the way, like the 9800 GT and 9800 GTX. As it turns out, the latter is the subject of some new rumors from the far east and they tell the card's story in detail.

Equipped with the 65nm-built G92-420 chips which we spotted in the ForceWare 174.13, the 9800 GTX is said to feature 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 2200 MHz, a core clock of 675 MHz and 128 Stream processors at 1688 MHz. All these, coupled with a 256-bit memory interface will make the GeForce 9800 GTX beat the 8800 GTS 512 by a decent margin and almost give AMD's Radeon HD 3870 X2 a run for its money. The release of the GeForce 9800 GTX is expected for early Q2.

I think we're going to dig the prices of these cards.

This card will hold me over until the 55nm are released. So excited.

Here is our 9800GTX GPU-Z screen shot. As you can see, the card’s core clock is only 25MHz higher than G92 based 8800GTS 512MB. But memory clock is as high as 1100MHz, so that’s why we said it will have a 0.8ns memory module. Because of the core clock’s raised, shader also went up to 1688MHz.

The amount of ROPs, shader and memory interface keeps unchanged compare to G92-400, 8800GTS 512MB’s core.

The GPU-Z 0.1.7 didn’t work with 9800GTX. After W1zzard@TPU make some change on his GPU-Z, the tool can finally read all the data of the card. Thanks, W1zzard.

Can only tell once it's benched against a GT or GTS.

I read it's approx 30% faster than the GT.

Like Duke said, buying this card at the end of March/early April from EVGA...some step up action would be in order for the 55nm cards, provided they're released by the end of July.

The 9800gx2 scares me - will have to wait and see how stable it is.
