images/news/nvidia.jpgJoke or not, the latest info from the far east states that Nvidia has decided on delaying the release of the GeForce 9800 GTX by one week. Initially set for a March 25th launch, the 9800 GTX would be introduced on April 1st, a reason for AMD fanboys to say the card is a joke.

Powered by the G92-420 chip, the GeForce 9800 GTX has 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 2200 MHz, 128 Stream Processors at 1688 MHz and a core frequency of 675 MHz. The retail price of the upcoming card will hover between $299 and $349. This delay of the 9800 GTX could also push the release of the 9800 GT (expected for April 3rd) further back.

As long as "affordable" rhymes with "performance"...

I'm about to buy two HD3870... but I wonder if a 9800GTX will perform better than crossfired HD3870s.
