Those looking for the next 'green' thing in terms of single-GPU graphics cards will have will soon be getting the GeForce 9800 GTX which is based on the 65nm G92-420 chip. This dual-slot high-end beastie will come to fill the gap between the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 and 9800 GX2 and will support DirectX 10(.0), OpenGL 2.1 and Triple-SLI.

Set to be clocked at about 675, 1688 and 2200 MHz (GPU, shaders and memory) the GeForce 9800 GTX has just been put to the test by the guys at Expreview.com who have hooked it up to a system equipped with a 3GHz QX9650 CPU and ran Futuremark's 3DMark06. At the default settings and resolution (1280x1024) the upcoming GeForce card has returned a score of 14014 points, as you can see below. The score is certainly promising, but still a testimony to the fact that the 9800 GTX is a rather shy evolutionary step given the use of the G92 chip. We still want two though. No, make that three.

Thats a crap score for something that is Nvidia's new high-end GPU. Even a good overclocked 8800GT can pull 15000.

is that goog for a single card? i thought a 8800gts can get that score.

Nice find.

Thats a pretty bad score...

I don't think a 8800GTS G80 320/640MB can get that high but a 8800GTS G92 512MB can get that score and higher.

So members have posted getting scores around 15000 with 8800GTs which have 112 SP were as the 8800GTS 512MB has 128SP.

The 9800GTX is thought to be just a 8800GTS 512MB with a name change.

Is it because of the unmatured drivers?

It is the same thing but with 3-way SLI support and a higher price tag (that's a given

).

i don't really think it's the unmatured drivers since there seems to be nothing 'next gen' with these disappointing 9 series cards. They just use the same core as high end 8 series, im seriously not impressed.
