GeForce 9 series prices

"GeForce 9800GX2 is expected to arrive on March 18. We told you about the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) being $599 long ago, and we had some preliminary information on the price of the rest of the cards of the GeForce 9 series. This did not include the recently discovered GeForce 9800GTS, instead it seems like the 9800GTS and 9800Gt have been mixed up. The specifications aren't exactly breathtaking, but since the GeForce 8 series has reached the end of its life cycle, it's the GeForce 9 series that will be found in stores."

Card SPs Core clock Mem clock Launch date Price
GeForce 9800GX2 128x2 600MHz 2000MHz March 18 $599
GeForce 9800GTX 128 675MHz 2200MHz March 25 $399
GeForce 9800GTS 128 600MHz 1800MHz April 4? $299

Quite pricey! Anyone know where i can find benchmarks, mainly for the GTS/GTX? Be appreciated.

solar6648d ago

try www.firingsquad.com i think i remember seeing a link last night. its a nice site with lotsa good info. i might pick one of theses new 9 series up. have a 7800GT atm and would love a nice boost. hopefully will be able to run crysis and far cry 2 somewhat decently.

mighty_douche6648d ago (Edited 6648d ago )

Hey cheers for the tip, I'll check it out now.

Oh, i wouldn't hold my breath with crysis, but hopefully FC2 wont be as demanding. But any of these card's will show a MASSIVE improvement over your 7800.... MASSIVE!!

Bubbles up!

solar6648d ago

i checked and couldnt find any info on the site. bubble for steering ya wrong.

Being an early adopter for the 7xxx series GX2 board 7950GX2 1GB single Sli, i will not touch this with 10 foot pole. The support for sli did not even turn up properly in games till 1 year later. Anyway, its better to buy the "other" console than throw money on one of these to just play handful of fps games and high rez.

solar6648d ago

im not gonna buy for just a game...like i stated i need a major upgrade in the video card department and these could be an option.

TheIneffableBob6647d ago

I wouldn't bother with dual-GPU cards like the 7950GX2, 3870X2, and soon to be 9800GX2.. For now, at least.

Just stick to the single-GPU cards: the 9800GTX and GTS.

If the prices are right they are pretty sweet and it will confirm what they have been saying about NVIDIA really contributing to putting PC gaming back in its glory days :)

Charlie26886647d ago

LOL@Disagree XD I guess the haters are back

solar6647d ago

ya i noticed that too. must be an ignorant console fanboy who cant accept the fact that PC's are graphically superior to consoles. oh well....let them hate on.

Fux4Bux6647d ago

Hope there's a big performance boost here because these don't look very different than the 8800s for the prices.

xsteinbachx6647d ago

yah actually im really sad seeing the specs. maybe they'll have better benches though.

Charlie26886647d ago

I think they spoiled us with the new 8800GT and 8800GTS that have the same G92 tech found in the 9000 series but if you actually look at it the performance was BRUTAL like how the new 8800GTS is the same or light better than the 8800ULTRA

BUt I think the 9800 GTS and GTX might do the trick

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing20d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit20d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing20d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
