This card seems to have the same specs as the 8800GT. So why did Nvidia put out sucha a pointless card. I mean you would think there would at least be a die shrink or something!?

this is the same as the 8800gs -> 9600gso refresh we had earlier. Maybe this card will yield higher overclocks or something.

well the one thing that appears to be different is the overall temperature of the card, compared to a 8800 gt

I believe its an attempt to bring the 8800 GT's name in line with its position in the actual performance breakdown. It is better than a 9600 GT, but not as good as a 9800 GTX, therefore a 9800GT. It effectively end-of-lines all of the 8800 series.

Also, it sets them up to make the 55nm version when some 9800 GTX 's don't quite make it and can be sold as 9800 GT's instead.

Renewing the 8800gt as the 9800gt is a bad idea, 8800gt is popular enough as it is, they should have made the 8800gts (the newer 512mb version) as 9800gt, to make people buy it too, since everybody knows the 8800gt.

A lot of people are confused by the old numbers and think the GeForce 9000-series video cards are all better than the GeForce 8000-series video cards, just because the 9000-series numbers are higher. Renaming the GeForce 8800GT to the GeForce 9800GT ends that confusion and properly places the "8800GT" above the Geforce 9600GT in the nVidia graphics card lineup.

Interesting how the price seems to be a little higher than the 8800 now ain't it?

Headfoot's got a point, but I believe that profit motivates this choice a lil' bit more than balancing out the naming scheme.

@ Viperrobins

If you can afford and extra $10 go for a 8800GTS 512

---------------

I use this card in my CS:S rig it's very good benchmarks slightly higher than a 8800GT

The 9800gt is better than the 640mb 8800gts.

Questions are better answered in the forum though.

The 8800 GT was re-badged as the 9800 GT in order to sell off existing stock as part of the new product line. The only difference is a BIOS flash and a different sticker on the heat sink. Some people have reported getting 9800 GTs that still have 8800 GT decals and serial numbers on them from New Egg.

The 8800 GS was re-badged as the 9600 GSO in order to sell off existing stock as part of the new product line. Again, only difference is a BIOS flash (and a different sticker on the heatsink).

There are some special "hybrid SLI" 9800 GTs that are different than 8800 GTs, but they are rare.

I was just hoping someone could help me out. I have a choice of 2 cards in very close price rangers. I don't know which is better for the money.

1) 9600GT 1Gb DDR2
2) 9800GT 512Mb DDR3

If both for around 140-160 which one should I choose? Also, I see on the TigerDirect site that the 9800GT 512DDR3 with the same specs can vary in prices from 120-160 because of the brand making it (ie. BFG, XFX, Sparkle or PNY) do these brands matter at all? Would the more expensive one be superior to the cheaper one?

The 9800GT is better

Brands don't matter and the only difference is warranty and some brands have aftermarket coolers on them

For example, XFX uses a different cooler than the stock 9800GT and they have a lifetime warranty
PNY uses the stock cooler and has a 3 year warranty

wow I'm glad I researcheed this first I have an 8800gs and was think about upgrading to sli. and had norrowed down to 2 cards

xfx Gerfore 9600 gso
xfx GeForce 9800 GT

I was favoring the 9600 gso over the 9800gt but I guess that wouldn't be and upgrade.

The specs are wrong. 9800gt is 55nm and uses less than 105 watts peak. Thus, making it different from an 8800gt that's why they released it as a 9800gt instead of 8800gt . Like we saw with the 9800GTX's

Would anyone be able to help me out? I currently have an Nvidia Geforce GTS 250 and it's a pretty good card. The only thing is I'm trying to hook up my PC to my TV and it's not letting me get any audio through my TV. Turns out this card doesn't have an HDMI out port but 9800GT does. I was just wondering if I exchanged the GTS 250 for the 9800 GT would I notice a huge difference in performance. Thanks

GTS250 does have HDMI. Buy a DVI to HDMI dongle for $2. the GTS250 is slightly better than a 9800gt in performance.
