The 8800GTS 512MB is the better card - it has more shaders and higher clock speeds. The 9800GT is nothing more than a rebranded 8800GT.

asus decided to get rid of their 8800gts(g92) and did something with the die and overclocked it and rebranded it as a 9800gt. this is different cause all other 9800gt are rebranded 8800gt, and this gives the asus at least a 20% boost over alll other 9800gt. i can post links because i am using a cell phone, but a place called hardwarecanucks compared the asus ultimate to other 9800gt and a 4850 and 9800gtx. and in their benchmarks it was almost always higher than the 9800gtx

well if that is true then that quite a stupid move for ASUS to do.

Would asus be aloud to mess around with a 8800GT die? Isn't that like against policy or something?

no they most likely wouldn't, they most take the reference designs and then modify a bit.if there messing with the core then thats basically expensive R&D.

no it wouldn't a 8800gts(more stream processors, faster clocks, higher bandwith, etc) is far superior to a 8800gt, even if the 8800gt was heavily overclocked it would still be about 10% behind a 8800gts and would have a much shorter life span.

why doesnt everyone just shutup about the 8800GTs and the 9800GTX because there both crap, go with the ATI's 4850.
