» NVIDIA announces GeForce 9800 GT

The GeForce 9500 GT isn't the only new GPU NVIDIA officially announced today. Joining the 9500 GT is also NVIDIA's new GeForce 9800 GT GPU.

Despite its new name, the GeForce 9800 GT isn't an all-new chip. It shares the same basic specs and cooling as the GeForce 8800 GT: 112 stream processors running at 1.5GHz, 600MHz core clock, and 900MHz GDDR3 memory. The GeForce 9800 GT has actually been available in select OEM systems for about a month now, but starting today you'll begin to see cards from NVIDIA's board partners hit the retail level.

Like the 9500 GT, the 9800 GT is based on TSMC's 65-nm and 55-nm manufacturing process. 55-nm GPUs are shipping from NVIDIA now, although some chips were built on the older 65-nm process.

GeForce 9800 GT boards from EVGA and Gigabyte have already hit Newegg, with prices starting at $168. BFG, Palit, and other have also announced 9800 GT cards, all with custom cooling and various clocks.

The official NVIDIA PR can be found here.

Case: Starbucks
Lucractive. Posh. Hip. Mocha Latte oozing with sweet foamy goodness.

Where are they now: regrouping, shrinking. Brand became diluted. Shic image became too common. Brand failed to inovate and keep up with iced coffees etc. In pricewar desperation to maintain marketshare profit margins shrinking.

nVidia? Since G80 in 2006, too many too similar products... 4 8800GT a GTS, 9600GT and if 9800GTX wasn't confusing enough 9800GTX+ and 9800GT top it off. Are they just trying to flood market with product names, or have they not heard of market segments?

You'd think having played the DX10.1 card early, AMD would have it rough differentiating products. But 9800GT at paltry 600Mhz.. at least make it a silly small increase.

I am suprised NVIDIA hasn't released something like a 8450 or a 8470 line to try to confuse the parents who get sent to the store for a 4870 or 4850.

When are they going to drop the damn "Geforce" moniker. It's been like a million years already. They should bring back the Voodoo line, hell they paid for the technology, might as well use the name.

Actually, using the Voodoo name from 3DFX (whom they purchased years ago) is a damn good idea I think.

Hell yes it is. :) I agree. Lets start a petition to ditch the GeForce name for Voodoo.

They're headed in that direction with the GTX 260/280, no?
