I die a little inside whenever I look at the new 9800gtx reviews and I hope to myself that it's just a cruel joke. When the 9600 came out and how it compared quite fantastically to the 8800gt I thought for sure we'd see something amazing when the gtx came out....Oh well...

Summary: 8800gtx still performs better in larger resolutions with current drivers

there's a 9900 series as well planned for july, and no the 9800's are not a joke, well in a "lol we got you to upgrade for nearly no reason" sort of way

the 9800's are a upgrade if you own a 8800gtx since they clock significantly higher but they aren't a ground breaking redesign

Not a joke...........


This may give the lead to AMD when the Radeon 4000 series is released.... unless of course AMD has another case like the 2000 series

They don't need to develop new and better stuff when there's a lack of competition. If you read the second page of the review, it tells you everything. It's basicly the same core with a few extras who's main goal is to be cheaper. And they label it as a new series (9x00) so people think it's something better.
