geforce 9800 gt

The succession of revelations of secret informants involved in the manufacture of graphics cards, flush brought us closer to a final “disclosure” of origin GeForce 9800 GT. As it turned out, the list of future benefits hero productive segment before the current, something can rightfully be called GeForce 8800 GT, looks quite modestly. Of the obvious benefits GeForce 9800 GT is the support for energy-saving technology Hybrid Power, the opportunity to work in Hybird SLI configurations and equipment 55 - nm graphical kernel G92b after depletion of 65 - nm chips. Most sources agreed that the most important in terms of performance characteristics such as the working frequency, the number of streaming conveyors and memory bus width, will remain unchanged. Comparing this information with data from a mini-survey, published on the site Hardspell.com. Moreover, learn about the appearance of new graphics card and the results of testing in 3DMark06.

If you believe the Chinese reporters this summer carrier market behalf GeForce 9800 GT will be shown in photographs accelerator. It is possible it will happen in about two weeks, along with announcements of new products flagship GeForce GTX 280/260. Inconsistencies corporate identity NVIDIA blue teksture indirectly points to deviations from the reference design and ownership “peru” one of the industrial partners. A quick comparison with outer GeForce 8800 graphics cards GT, GSO 9600 or 9800 GTX makes it clear that design new representatives closer to 9 - a ruler.

Obviously there are two 6 - contact connectors for external power supply, while the predecessor of a series of GeForce 8 costs only one. Judging by the number of throttles, channels catering to the graphic processor has become one more. Meals memory remained single. For comparison, the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 MB GeForce 9600 GS and had the same circuitry power circuits.

On the front side board has 8 memory chips. With 512 - Mbit graphics chips volume is 512 MB. Chinese reporters confirm that the graphics engine, streaming video memory conveyors and GeForce 9800 GT working at the same frequencies as the GeForce 8800 GT - 600/1500/900 (1800) MHz. The number of universal conveyor matches as well and is 112 pieces. The width of the tyre memory remained equal 256 bits. The only slot for switching graphics cards in SLI configuration undermined the hope for support of the regime 3-Way SLI.

The authors noted a significant drop in the publication of energy systems in the transition mode Hybird Power, when switching to integrated graphics kernel. Recall that, to date, this technology is implemented on motherboards based on logic nForce 720a, 730a, 750a, 780a, GeForce 8100, 8200, 8300. The test in a test package 3DMark06 showed that the rating system, translated into energy savings amounted to just 861 para.

It should also draw attention to the fact that, when activated regime Hybrid SLI experimental system demonstrated quite strange results. Single GeForce 9800 GT video showed 7490 “parrots” on the scale of 3DMark06. But the inclusion of integrated kernel instead of growth has led some reason a small drop in productivity of up to 7340 points. The negative effect of the “hybrid” SLI mode can be explained unless the imperfections of drivers.

Unfortunately, the lack of new material from the Chinese site any details about the test stand, configured 3DMark06 and poor quality screenshots does not allow us to compare the performance GeForce 9800 GT video cards with other products range from NVIDIA and AMD.
