That's usually assumed what happens when a die is shrunk.

Also uses much less power! Only 1 pci/e power input instead of two on the original 9800GTX+!

Why wasn't this around during the first revision? The 9800 GTX+ was 55 mn right?

No. The 9800GTX+ was a G92 core at 65nm process core.

lol

In July 2008 nVidia released the 55nm refresh of the 9800 GTX: the 9800 GTX+. It has faster core (738 MHz) and shader (1836 MHz) clocks.

My bad. They made a big deal over the 55nm of the GTS250, so I just assumed that the GTX+ was the 65nm version. I only bothered to Wiki "G92" instead of "9800 GTX+"

[InnerGoat]

There was a big deal over the GTS250 because it's a slightly updated 9800GTX+



...which is 9800GTX

...which is (basically) 8800GTS 512

G92 supremacy

Too many cards to choose from with nVidia, ATi ftw..

That's why you look at the front page.

You know, for that really high end build, I'm not so sure 2x GTX 295s are the way to go. I know they beat the HD4870 X2 in quadfire, but the dual GTX295s also have a record for not working at all at certain settings in certain games. Crysis at 2560x1600 comes to mind.
