|  Re: How much better is 9800 GTX From what I understand, supposedly the 9 series parts we're seeing now should be made on the 55nm process. The earlier 9 series did not, and you can't really tell when buying the cards as the manufacturers don't distinguish.   |

| Re: How much better is 9800 GTX you could complain and see if they get a 8800GTX somewhere. Someone on the EVGA forum had the same issue with you, and he got a replacement 8800GTX after complaining about receiving a 9800GTX  Blake's THE MAN with Sigs!  Gateway P-7811FX MSI Wind U100-420US |

| Re: How much better is 9800 GTX putting aside the fact that the 9800 is about the same performance, don't forget the G92 core OC's better and uses way less power and doesn't run as hot as the old G80....

| Re: How much better is 9800 GTX But the 8800GTX performs better at higher res than the 9800GTX. Also did you get a 9800GTX or a 9800GTX+? Its shown by many people because of the memory bus.

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.  | Re: How much better is 9800 GTX Quote:
Read through some reviews that have direct comparisons of both cards and then decide if it's worth the hassle and return shipping to get another 8800GTX. Review 1 Review 2 Review 3 Review 4 and so on...  | |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal. | Re: How much better is 9800 GTX That's because the drivers are the same for the 9800GTX and GTX+. If it says GTX on the box, then that's what you got. |
