GeForce 9600 GSO

The GeForce 9600 GSO was essentially a renamed 8800 GS. This tactic has been seen before in products such as the GeForce 7900 GTO to clear unsold stock when it is made obsolete by the next generation. Just like the 8800 GS, the 9600 GSO features 96 stream processors, a 550 MHz core clock with shaders clocked at 1,375 MHz, and either 384 or 768MB memory clocked at 800 MHz on a 192-bit memory bus. Some manufacturers have mistakenly listed some of their 768MB models that have 96 stream processors as being based on the G94 Chip, rather than the G92.

GeForce 9600 GSO 512

After clearing the old 8800 GS stock, Nvidia revised the specification with a new core, and 512 MB of memory clocked at 900 MHz on a 256-bit bus. For these cards the number of stream processors is halved to 48, with the core frequency increased to 650 MHz and the shader frequency increased to 1625 MHz. Some of these cards have 1024 megabytes of memory while still being a 512 model. The revised version is considered inferior in performance to the old version.

GeForce 9600 GTX

XFX released a 9600 GTX based on the G92 Chip featuring 96 stream processors, a 580Mhz core clock, 1450Mhz shaders and 512MB of GDDR3 running at 1400Mhz on a 256 bit bus. Other than clock speeds, it is functionally the desktop equivalent version of the 9800M GT.

GeForce 9800 Series

The GeForce 9800 series contains the GX2 (dual GPU), GTX, GTX+ and GT variants.

GeForce 9800 GX2

On March 18, 2008 the GeForce 9800 GX2 was officially launched.

The GeForce 9800 GX2 has the following specifications:.

GeForce 9800 GTX

On April 1, 2008 the GeForce 9800 GTX was officially launched. It was basically an 8800 GTS 512MB with two SLI connectors, higher clock speeds, and support for Nvidia Hybrid Power, a technology that allows the discrete GPU to shut off during non resource intensive applications, and instead use the integrated GPU. With these extra features though, a high price came too.

128 Stream Processors.
Clocks (Core/Shader/Memory): 675 MHz/1688 MHz/2200 MHz

Outputs include two DVI ports, an HDMI output(Using Nvidia DVI to HDMI adapter(included)), and S/PDIF in connector on-board for routing audio through the HDMI cable.
Release date was 2008-04-01.
Launch Price of $349.

In July 2008 Nvidia released a refresh of the 9800 GTX: the 9800 GTX+ (55 nm manufacturing process). It has faster core (738 MHz) and shader (1836 MHz) clocks. Since March 2009 this design is manufactured as
GeForce GTS 250.

GeForce 9800 GT

The 9800GT is identical to an 8800GT, although some are being manufactured using a 55 nm technology instead of the 65 nm first debuted on the 8800GT. Newer (55 nm) version supports HybridPower while 65 nm doesn't. The G92 design has been later relabeled for a second time and sold as GTS 250 and later, a third time only by OEMs as the GT 330.

ASUSTeK have released a 9800GT with Tri-SLI support.

The unit, defined as one joule per second, measures the rate of energy conversion.-Definition:... s)	Transistor Transistor A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and power. It is composed of a semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current...
