Looks wicked!! But that fan looks like it will be pretty loud. Hope not.

I'm pretty sure they went to a larger fan to keep the noise low as possible.

What a beauty. I almost regret getting a 9800 pro just on the basis of looks 🙂...Although I like the 9800 Pro design as well. Oh well...

very nice card

 

[BroadbandGamer]

She's mine! 😀

Yup, bigger fan = slower rotation for the same air flow = less noise.

Looks very nice.

Agreed, let the benchies roll out. Lets see some number's to determine if she is upgrade worthy.

It is a great looking card but let's face it, 99% of the time you're not going to see the top of your video card. I'm sure it will be a great performer but I don't think the cost will justify the performance. Wonder how many current 9800 owners will be able to o/c their cards to the levels the XT is running at in default?

Wow, that looks nice! As said before, let's just hope it's not noisey!

What a purty li'l video card. I wonder just how much it'll make all the Nvidia boards jealous...? 😀

 

[Corporate Thug]

very nice looking video, unfortunately the performance increase will be next to nothing compared to an OCed 9800 pro

 

[FullRoast]

Hmm... Maybe the 9800XT overclocks well, too. 🙂

Yeah, sadly. The only thing we can/could hope for would be better core ocing and possibly...just possibly, 2.5 ram.

Yea, I mean, you guys keep on talking about how a 9800 Pro overclocked can match the 9800 XT, but how about a 9800 XT overclocked? I wouldn't go saying all that quite yet. Yes, a 9800 Pro overclocked looks to be exactly what a stock 9800 XT is, but let's see its overclocking ability, too.

can't wait to see what Hercules' Version of this card!

So how much better is the 9800xt expected to be?

Roughly 10%?

 

[BFG10K]

I'm impressed with the looks and if it's at least 20% faster than the 9800 Pro then I'm sold.

 

[cockeyed]

There is some info on the 9800XT HERE. Also a 9600XT that is expected to outperform a 9500 Po in the sub $200 class.

 

[InlineFive]

That looks very suspiciously like the nVidia "Dusbuster" solution on the 5800 Ultra. Im sure it's pretty quiet though. Anyone notice that the power plug on the card has been upgraded to 12v from 5v?

Looks pretty, but I'm still not buying it. Show me some pic's of this RV400 crap.
