The very elusive and already extensively delayed GeForce 9800 GT has made a shy appearance @ Computex at ELSA's booth and now, it has been spotted in a new gaming PC from a Chinese company. Pictured below, the card is manufactured by XFX and it apparently features the same GPU, shader and memory clocks as its predecessor, the 8800 GT - 600, 1500 and 1800 MHz respectively.

Unlike ELSA's offer, the XFX GeForce 9800 GT has a single-slot cooling solution that is considerably smaller than that found on the 8800 GT which suggest that the former will be powered by a 55nm G92b chip (with 112 Stream Processors). The 512MB GDDR3-equipped card also features SLI support and requires extra power via one 6-pin connector. No word on an actual release date or price tag unfortunately. Good thing we have that Radeon HD 4850 right?

That thing better cost like $150. HD4850 FTW! :D

I hope they dont make the same mistake they did with the 8 series. 8800GTS was first then months later the 8800GT comes out and beats it so they made a new 8800GTS. I hope the 9800GT doesn't beat the GTX cause then they'd HAVE to make a new 9800GTX! Something like 9800GTX (G92b)...... Crap like that. :p

Well, they have a 9800GTX, and a 9800GTX+

Did you see that, there's a difference, Notice the little "+"? No, Me neither. :rolleyes:

Yeah you're right, but it's minor difference nothing like the difference from 8800GTS (G80) to (G92)
