Nvidia is starting to **** me off. And this time they aren't just renaming an old product. Or doing a die shrink. They are doing this...
So basically. They are creating a situation like the whole b3 q6600's and G0 q6600's. If you get a 9600gt with 55nm... GREAT! If you don't? Tough luck...
They are just trying to get rid of the 65nm's pretty much from what I can see.
And, I think it is ironic that they rename the 8800gs which had zero modifications, but they DON'T rename the 9600gt+ (I'm calling it that...idc)
Thats just cold... I think I will buy from ATI instead.
NV shrinks 9600GT to 55nm without changing the name - Expreview.comRight after 9800GTX+, NVIDIA begin shrinking 9600GT to 55nm. But this time is a bit different, there will not be another plus mark after 9600GT's name because NVIDIA want more stealth.
The only change of 55nm version is the mark on die. The mark on a 65nm die is G94-300-A1 and 55nm die is G94-300-B1. The clock keeps 650MHz/1625MHz/900MHz (core/shader/mem) so more overclocking headroom can be leave to customers and vendor partners.
