Default [EXp] NVIDIA remark 8800GT to 9800GT, no more HybridPower
Quote:
According to our source, GeForce 9800GT is just around the corner. Because there are still lots of 8800GT inventory out there, NVIDIA have decided that they will allow partners to flash BIOS, change 8800GT device ID to 9800GT device ID directly.

What’s more, if partner wants, NVIDIA can laser remark those inventory G92 chip.

9800GT will support HybridPower, but because of inventory cards lack of control chips so they will not support the power saving feature.

This time NV provides not only reference card but also production permission to all partners at the right beginning of the launch. That means all companies can make non-reference card to reduce cost.

The card will be officially announced in this quarter.

Yay for free upgrades!

9800GT here I come!


(If you don't get it, I'll be flashing my 8800GT to a 9800GT, despite it making no difference in performance. )

I don't think the phrase "kicking a dead horse" even covers how nvidia is milking the 8800's. We need to make up a new term/phrase for whatever is past that.

So... since it's the SAME friggin card, it's safe to assume you can SLI an 8800GT and 9800GT together?

Probly have to bios flash it to either 9800gt or 8800gt. Some 9800gt are suppose to be 55nm i thought but now they are flashing 8800gt to 9800gt you wont be able to tell what your getting probly.
