The way the GeForce 9 series has been introduced is probably not one of the best decisions the marketing department at Nvidia has made recently. This is the first time the manufacturer has launched a new generation of graphic cards that make exclusive use of an existing GPU core from the preceding generation, with absolutely no change to either the instruction set or to the stream processors.
After the midrange GeForce 9600 GT and the very-high-end 9800 GX2, Nvidia now feels that it has to bring out a new high-end device, the GeForce 9800 GTX, but one that’s actually more like just another version of the G92, after the 8800 GT and GTS. Still, the 9600 GT was a very good card, and it even opened up a new segment of the market, with a lower price point than the GeForce 8800 GT 256 MB and closer to AMD’s offering. But will the 9800 GTX do the same?

DAMMIT need to pull their finger out, so Nvidia wont fob us of with the "upgrades" and get on with some new research!
this is nothing more than an overclocked 8800GTS 512...
shame on you, TH, for that terrible review.
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.
