Except in comparison to the 3870 X2, whose performance has increased by close to 100% over the HD 3870’s at the highest resolution, the 9800 GTX showed good performance here, edging the 8800 Ultra in all situations. Its lead over the 8800 GTS 512 MB was totally regular - 11% in all cases.

Still no reason to upgrade form an 8800 GT or GTS (512) though

DAMMIT need to pull their finger out, so Nvidia wont fob us of with the "upgrades" and get on with some new research!

The fact the review contains the addition of an LED on the PCB tells you all you need to know...

Unless being an audiophile or wanting to play games at highest resolution with AA on, I believe the performance recap tells you all your need to know. This may well not be a revolution, but it's good bang for the buck.

WHAT! am i the only one who thinks this review is nothing but a load of rubbish?

this is nothing more than an overclocked 8800GTS 512...

shame on you, TH, for that terrible review.

For those who already have an 8800GTX or Ultra, it's about half as fast as desired and of no 'purchasing' interest whatsoever. For everyone else it looks like a well priced buy.

I want a card that uses less power, makes less noise, costs a lot less and get great frame rates.

But; I like the heat mine kicks out as it keeps my feet warm in the winter. I'll need a cooler card summer maybe.

I'll not be getting a new gfx card for a few years, so the above may happen.

There’s no doubt that it’s a good value card, but it really does not warrant the GTX moniker. When the 8800GTX replaced the 7800GTX there was a significant increase in performance. The increase in performance from a standard 8800GTX and the 9800GTX is a bit of a joke. I'm running a BFG 8800GTX OC2 and the 9800GTX in no way attracts my attention. The 9800GTX may run cooler and quieter, but for those of us interested in best in class performance, these are not normally factors that would sway our buying decisions.
