I guess Nvidia wants people buying the 9800GT's over the 8800GT's

You can find em for about $100 Apokalipse said: manufacturers are flashing 8800 GT's with 9800 GT BIOS's Click to expand... Thats not possible, The 9800gt's support Tri-SLi which is a hardware change. Needs to have two SLi connections. If they are selling flashed 8800gt's as 9800gt's I'm sure nvidia does not approve. *Crud Forgot to Edit instead of new post. My bad guys...*

NosBoost300 I poop on the rug Messages 10,220 Location Bellflower, CA Aug 3, 2008 #15 hrmm i assume their just shoving g92 cores onto new pcb's then? that doesnt make sense though... 9800gt is SUPPOSED to be 55nm... how is this in anyway okay?
