nvidia has gone from pathetic to absurd to "asking for a class-action consumer lawsuit based on false advertising."

The 8800GTS 512mb uses the G92-350. The 9800GTX uses the G92-420(or 450, one of these is used in the 9800GTX and one in the 9800GX2, don't remember which right now)

They changed the stock cooler and upped the core clocks with the 9800GTX, that's about it... I think.

Meh, the g94 had the best SLI scalability of any chip nVidia has ever produced....and it was a reworked g80. This news makes me even more happy that I ordered ATI cards yesterday.
