We learned that NVIDIA plans a new card that will be branded as GeForce 9800 GT. For all we know this could simply be a renamed GeForce 8800 GT. We strongly believe that NVIDIA will quickly phase out all the GeForce 8800 GT cards and simply rename it with a new old card. The new thing that comes with GeForce 9 series is the ability to shut down under hybrid power marchitecture, and this might be the biggest difference between GeForce 8800 GT and the upcoming GeForce 9800 GT. We would suspect a bit higher clock, over 600MHz, but we are quite sure that as soon as partners sell them out NVIDIA will quietly replace the GeForce 8800 GTS with the GeForce 9800 GTX version, and the GeForce 8800 GT with the GeForce 9800 GT graphics accelerator. - FudZilla

NVIDIA Plans GeForce 9800 GT Graphics Card Edition

After jumping over the GeForce 9800 GX2 and dodging the GeForce 9800 GTX the graphics market should arrive to a small green house that belongs to another G92 powered model, the GeForce 9800 GT edition. Although we already talked about its release, it is only now that the first salty details about the actual specifications of the GeForce 9800 GT have appeared online. The GeForce 9800 GT is said to be your average GeForce 8800 update with a G92 core clocked at 650MHz, having 112 stream processors set to 1625MHz and 512MB of GDDR3 memory running at 2000MHz effective clock speed.

The only other thing that comes to our minds is that a new GeForce 9800 GT might support 3-Way SLI technology. Expected to be released on April 3rd, the GeForce 9800 GT should have a price tag hovering between $229 and $279. Next to this renewal you can also expect the GeForce 9800 GTX to be available around the same time if all goes as planned.
