9800GTX Tested, About as Fast as 8800GTS/GTX
Looks like what we speculated is true. The 9800GTX is only slightly faster
than the 8800GTS. Its HSF is similar to the 8800GTS unit, with the slanted fan. http://www.pconline.com.cn/diy/graph...1243353_5.html -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." |

In the video card industry, the expectations are just higher. If Intel or
AMD released a new CPU that performed 5-10% better than the old one, they would be treated like geniuses. Not to mention the tremendous performance gains in going from DDR2 to DDR3 for system RAM... -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

The first thing that comes to mind when reading this review makes me realize that I've seen larger variations in gaming and synthetic benches between the various brands and flavours of the various 8800GTX and G92 8800GTS offerings. Hell, two 9600GT's in SLI do about the same as the 9800GTX. Not very impressive for a "flagship" product. Normally one expects to see the real gains at higher resolutions, but the 1920x1200 runs show basically the same % increase as the 1440x900 runs. The World in Conflict bench is truly depressing. |

The upcoming 9800X2 appears to perform worse than the 3870X2. Even though a
single 8800GTS outperforms a single 3870, nVidia's dual-GPU implementation is hobbled by poor drivers and slower clock speed. The 9800GTX is a victim of inappropriate market branding. In the past, this kind of refresher product would be called 8850 or 8900. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
