Wow. More 9800 GTX benchmarks that we already knew about weeks ago.


Nice!


ATI fanboy flame-bait... for the win!
 
Sweet! It's sometimes an FPS faster than the 8800 GTX!








but then sometimes the 8800 GTX is an FPS faster...
 
What you are upset that the current line of cards do not live to your expectations? It's not like nVidia is ripping people off. the card is price fare it's well documented that the card performance is right with or one about 1% lower then that on the 8800 line.

anyways you have 2 ATi Radeon HD 2900 XT Crossfire, not like you got any burning from nvidia.
 
it seems like they're jsut ripping people off...

but what upsets me most is that they are not innovating anything new. all this crap about "ZOMMGGG THE 9800GTX SO FAST!"

yet the thing goes as fast as the 8800GTX... i just think its pathetic.

and for your information, i only run one 3870, my sig isn't updated.
 
The more I read the reviews about the 9800GTX [H] included. The more I just sit here and think that it is just the PCI-E 2.0 version of the 8800GTX with some other added features. As far as real world performance, it is safe to say they are equal I think.

so why call it part of a new series then? it just seems retarded to me. more like a scam to be honest.
 
First of all, there are 500 threads about the same thing already.

Secondly, we all know what the 9800 GTX is and we all knew weeks ago. You people streaming in here proclaiming your outrage that Nvidia is offering a $300 card that can do what a $600 card could do a year ago gets real fucking tired.

Guess what? Its not a big deal, get the fuck over it. Get some perspective on life, there are things to which you can attach the word "outrage" or "disgusting", computer parts is not one of them. For you to put a part release you don't like under the same terminology as some truly nasty shit going on out there in the world just makes you sound like a basement-dwelling nutcase.
 
SEriously...why all the outrage. Nvidia released a card that performs equal to if not better than the 8800GTX AT HALF THE COST OF THE 8800GTX. Bringing out affordable high end cards is only going to help the pc gaming industry as MORE people can have HIGH END systems. I think people are just pissed off that they cant have their UBEROMGWTFBBQMYSYSTEMISSOGOOD computer compared to the average joe that can actually get a good system without blowing 2000 bucks on it. Get a grip people.

Also, i'd like to post my OUTRAGE at having to pay 3.50 a gallon for gas. Now thats something to bitch about.

3.50? Is that the good stuff or the crap gas? Thats about what the regular costs here in Washington, which is one of the more expensive states for gas.
 
I'm not going for trolling here, but isn't the 9800GTX kinda like the release of ATI 3870. I mean a different process with less power usage, and a couple added things. This at a lower price, and a new naming scheme.

8800GTS - 9800GTX
2900XT - 3870

Both ATI and NVidia are milking this out till they both have something truely new. For the price how can you bitch about the 9800GTX. More or less you can get a 8800GTX for a little cheaper with better performance. In the end we are all making out like bandits. The prices have come down. Give me an 9800Ultra that is close to a 8800Ultra for 350.00. I would not say "no". This is a great time to be buying new graphic cards. Other than the dual-core cards. Things are pretty cheap for great performance. I fear this will change come the end of summer. When the real new GPU's come out. Our wallets will be getting a beating.

The new GPU's are going to have to wait till after summer. That way everyone can pay the loans for gas to and from work.
 
Hey look, more people too stupid not to fuel the fire by ignoring the problem.

Didn't your mothers ever teach you to ignore the dumbasses and they'l go away or were you too buisy picking your noses.

To the OP, it's your opinion so more power to you for utilizing your freedom of speech.

To the morons dumb enough to thread crap with your too stupid to keep them to yourself comments . . GROW THE FUCK UP !

I don't blame the OP for this debacle, I blame the idiots that crapped on his thread with your retorts that turned this thread into what it is.

-----

Yup, it's in the forum rules, anything not pertaining directly to the OP that could be considered a hinderance or generally uncalled for response is a thread crap. Sad to see so many veteran members not know this by now :(
 
if the 9800GTX is that cheap, why haven't the 8800GTX's dropped? i didn't know the price was that low.

Doesnt this technically count as thread crapping? You brought nothing to the thread. At least i tried to explain why nvidia is doing what they are doing. Pot...meet kettle.

And actually its abotu 3.15 for the cheap stuff, but i drive a turbo so i have to put the premium in it :(
 
I like the 9800GTX. Barring some radical issues showing up, I have every intention of buying one. It's a good performer for a good price.

Y'know, if nVidia/ATI were smart... They'd release their "next-gen" cards around the same time everyone's getting their $600 tax rebate <.< Can we say "impulse buy"?

EDIT: At the Shell station near my home in NorCal, regular unleaded is $3.68
 
I would share your outrage, but here in East Anglia (UK) we have to pay the equivalent of 10 bucks for a gallon of regular unleaded :eek:

God damn it, you beat me to it! :D

Ya, so USA doodz - stfu and feel sorry for Europe. Kthx. :p
 
And I was feeling bad about $2.94
This is kind of like stomping a guys' foot to make him forget about his broken arm.

Back OT/
The 9800GTX is a good card for today, but the 8800GTX still beats it, especially at high rez's and with AA/AF - That bigger memory bus and larger amount of RAM coming into play!
 
No worries we feel sorry for the entire world thats why we police them included you Europe.

competition leads to advancement and it's ATI/AMD's fault that Nvidia hasn't come out with a better card yet becuase ATI under performs Nvidia every step of the way.
 
Meh, gas in Cali is one of the most taxxed in the country. Anyway, everyone in california is a millionaire so gas is nothing :p

People in europe always bitch and moan about gas prices. But always seem to forget about 75% of the price is tax. And europe gets all the cool cars anyway. All the shitty vehicles with no options get sent here. Just go and compare the cars they get in europe vs the crap we get. High performance, high milage cars vs all the stupid SUV's in the US.
 
veedubfreak:
75% of price is tax? Noobs.. in Finland that's 80%. Regular costs little bit more than $8 per US gallon.

Pfft, I wish. I live on my own, work full-time and attend college all on my dime. Gas eats up 20% of my paycheck :(

Which may be why I'm happy for all these low-cost high-performing cards :D

You work full time and go to school part time, right? Stop complaining, I had a full-time job attending Rio Hondo's POST and had a part time job, trust me bro, it pays off in the end. :p
 
Ya, i'm just glad i'm done with school and at the end of the day i can go home and play with my overpriced computer equipment while drinking a rum and coke and playing whatever game i feel like that day. I will say, i have had to stop driving home for lunch because it was costing me almost 10 bucks a week in gas. Now i can just put that towards my alcoholism :)

There are plenty of features new compared to the 8800GTX. Smaller die, faster sp's HDCP over Dual-DVI and hybrid power.

You can blame ATI for not being able to compete enough to force Nvidia's hand into keeping up a blistering gpu schedual.

Marketing, where have you been? I too am on the boat in thinking this card should be named the 8900GTX...but I dont seem to be all up in arms and outraged by it.

The eVGA 8800GTX is $289 ar, while the eVGA 9800GTX is $329 (both from the egg). The 8800GTX debuted at ~$600 while the 9800GTX debuted at ~$330. And the 8800GTX has been EOL since early this year.
 
The only thing disgusting here is that you get your benchmarks from GameSpot. ewwwww... ;)
 
I like how a good OC'd MSI 88GT/S is $210/230 both before $30 MIR(this GTS can passup a GTX sometimes and it costs around $100 less, that's what I'm talk'n 'bout).

i dont get all my benchmarks from gamespot. jeeze. theyre mostly from Anandtech, or toms.

and yeah thats another reason why i don't see this new card of worth value.

unless Hard can post some OC'ing benchmarks. an extra 100+ mhz on the core might make me change my mind about it.

His over-the-top absurd post has attracted exactly the kind of posts it deserves. Disagreeing with someones imbecilic opinion is not thread crapping. Disagreeing is 50% of what forums are about, the other half is agreeing.

Your post, however, DOES break a few rules. So I would advise you to keep your mouth shut until you know how things work around here, newcomer.
