Personally my measurements came out to 275mm2 (16.6 x 16.6) to be exact. Other reviews also put in the same range. But 230mm2 is beyond what I call margin of error.
The problem with that is that he wants to obtain that result from the start because that's what he said and wants to be right, and in a picture things can vary a lot. IMHO he takes too much pixels for the G92b and too few pixels for the G92. By my measures based in that same picture the result is 242mm^2. As you can see things can change a lot.

Another thing that I noticed is that the chips are not 100% square and that while G92 is taller than fatter, G92b is wider than taller. So those who meassure one dimension and just multiplicate it, obtain a very different result depending on which dimension they choosed to measure.

Anyway, I have a 9800GTX+ at home, my brother's card, but he doesn't let me take out off his PC, much less removing the heatsink. I'm still trying, but I've been trying to take a look at that damn card since November, with no luck.
