GeForce 9800 GX2 Pics & Specs The GeForce 9800 GX2 will launch in late February or early March as it now stands and will replace the 8800 Ultra (single GPU) card in NVIDIA's high-end product line up. The 9800 GX2 is said to be at least 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra. While it is not clear from the pictures below, we are told it will support "Quad SLI." http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/articl...50aHVzaWFzdA== |
so there is no actual NEXTGEN card slated for release beginning this year? |
9800 gt in march |
Nvidia is not insane. They would have to be insane to not release a new architecture after a year and a half. In that same timeframe ATI has released their own high-end, and then revised and fixed all the problems with it and re-released it just as Nvidia finally did with the 8800GT 512mb. Nvidia has had G100/D9E sitting in the closet, but if they hold onto that design until ATI launches a competing product, then basically they just blew away whatever development lead they had over ATI. ATI should have working R700 silicon fairly shortly, if not already... |
you threads were posted hours after this one;) we'll let time decide whether these specs are real, I don't think it's worth much, 2x9800 cores only result in 30% faster than 8800 Ultra, not too impressed:) regarding webnews, you can always send in interesting newsies to news@madshrimps.be ; we receive PR from most larger companies and post them here as well as hundreds of affliate sites (like hardocp) |
I wonder how many people will be stupid enough to fall for Quad-Sli this time. |
A dual slot GPU card in quad configuration : on what board they'll do that ? I say at least the quad sli thing is fake, unless they mean the same thing as with the former 7950GX2, just 4 gpu's or 2 dual slot cards. |
That was exactly what they meant. Two 9800GX2 cards in SLI for actual Quad-SLI. Some other site was showing photos of them in the Quad configuration. |

I never said it was revolutionary. ;) If anything, two 8800GT 512mb cards would offer much better than 30% performance over a 8800Ultra... so this 9800GX2 doesn't seem that powerful. |
