NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 pics, specs leaked

[Third Eye]

Details aren't quite hard and fast, but this is NVIDIA's top-of-the-line to-be, so it's never too early to start nerding out. HardOCP says the best way to think of the GeForce 9800 GX2 is a 8800 that's been shrunk down to 65nm and SLI'd onto a "single" card. The card is supposed to be at least 30% faster than a 8800 Ultra, and will apparently support Quad SLI. So, now for the really nerdy part:

• 1GB frame buffer
• Two PCBs
• Two 65nm GPUs
• 256 Stream Processors

That's the way HardOCP tells it, and who are we to argue?

^ expect the same as 8800ultra.i think it was 35k at the time of launch.

[nvidia]

^^Maybe even more.. Around 40 - 50k...

The 7950GX2 was a good card but it became useless soon after nvidia gave poor support for both SLI and quad SLI.With quad SLI and directX9 one was only able to render 3 frames simultaneously so it went useless.Even though nvidia gave nice Anti-Aliase on the two other in quad SLI few users used.
The GX2 series till now has sucked because of nvidia.
BTW thanks for the news

Im sure there will be an increase of 50% atleast.. I mean it would be almost useless if it is just 30% faster than the prev generation cards

[apoorva84]

cool...but expensive

[Voldy]

Iam too expecting Of certain increase in the efficiency of GeForce 9800 GX2 by 50%-60%
lets wait
Thanks for the news

2 GPU Cores...............
May be half the price of 8800 Ultra more with the price of 8800 Ultra...............

Here's the Exact Details/Pics from Tomshardware.com:

************************************************** *********
Exclusive: Nvidia GeForce 9800GX2

The first pictures of what seems to be the GeForce 9800GX2 have just popped up on the web. We now have a good idea of what the card looks like.

We know that the 9800GX2 has 2 printed circuit boards (PCBs), as did the 7950GX2 in its time, two graphics processing units (GPUs) using 65 nm nodes (most likely G92s with 128 stream processors), 1 GB of memory (512 MB for each GPU) and two DVI outputs.
We don't know yet if the GeForce 9800GX2, which is supposed to be 30% faster than the 8800 Ultra, will support Quad SLI configurations.
The expected price: around $449 US. Expected announcement date: February 14, 2008.

************************************************** *********

They say its priced around $450. So US based stores will keep it around $50-75 higher ... max of $525 = Rs. 21000.

But in India, Price + Import Duty + XXX Tax = Rs. 25000 to Rs. 30000 ... i suppose.
