Computex 2008: ELSA 9800 GT displayed

W1zzard · Jun 9, 2008, 11:35 AM

Even though it has not been announced officially yet by NVIDIA, ELSA has been showing a card at their Computex booth that is labeled as GeForce 9800 GT.

The specs are nothing impressive, 112 shaders, 1 GB GDDR3, 256-bit memory, 630 MHz / 1800 MHz clocks. So basically the card is a rebranded GeForce 8800 GT. There are hints that the 9800 GT will use a shrinked down G92 core @ 55 nm. But then we should see a higher clock, maybe ELSA just wanted to show something interesting...

No it isn't: they miss spelled it

Gladiac 980GT: lol

G92B core - its G92, but 55nm instead of 65nm.

At least they arent re-releasing the different cores under the 8800GT name, that would have been confusing.

dark2099 · Jun 9, 2008, 01:10 PM

That has to be the most amazing stock cooler I think I have seen, beyond that, I have no idea. I am just waiting on seeing how the new HD 4k series and GT200 series cards actually perform, too many pre-release reports that can't be verified.

at least we know how this will perform - just like an 8800GT, only colder! (due to the 55nm, and that massive cooler)

on the pic we can clearly see only 1 6pin on the other hand fudzilla has this news -> http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?op...7781&Itemid=65

its fudzilla, 90% of the stuff coming outta their mouths isn't true.

mcloughj · Jun 9, 2008, 01:49 PM

this card should really be called a 8900gt and the 9800gtx should be 8900gtx. Nvidia's nomenclature is up its hole.

DarkMatter · Jun 9, 2008, 01:52 PM

This card is not reference design, I think. In Fudzilla they say reference 9800 GT has 2 6 pin connectors, I don't know why though, better overclocking?

99.9%

jbunch07 · Jun 9, 2008, 02:15 PM

card looks kind of sloppy aesthetically anyway.
and it also looks like the the heat pipes might interfere with the sli bridge, unless you use a flexible one.

something tells me these wont be the the real clocks of the 9800gt.

Yeah I would expect a lot higher clocks from a card with such cooling on a 55 nm GPU, but it seems that's the real thing isn't it?

They are 100% on most of their stuff......

GJSNeptune · Jun 9, 2008, 03:00 PM

Good thing you didn't qualify the 100%.

There's a reason his website is FUDzilla. He cares only about page views. He makes up a lot of "news" to cause hysteria, hype, and bring people to his site.

panchoman · Jun 9, 2008, 03:03 PM

some of his speculations actually turned out true.. so 99 percent lol

CDdude55 · Jun 9, 2008, 04:25 PM

It looks good. I will wait for something more amazing the the 280 GTX.

Basard · Jun 9, 2008, 04:34 PM

i wonder how much money it costs to erase the "8" from the box and put a "9" prolly somewhere in the millions....

Some of the speculations being that the earth will spin at least one more day.

You are right, that cooler is pretty awesome.

and surely enough going for a 3870/3850 was a much more sensible idea than 2950 Pro/XT. everyones doing it dude, its a marketing decision, live with it.
