Loading ...GeForce 9-series: a big disappointment
Clive Webster
The GeForce 9-series has three flavours so far:
- GeForce 9600 GT - a mid-range product that performs near-identically to an existing 8-series product and costs roughly the same.
- GeForce 9800 GX2 – a massive graphics brick that inelegantly combines two underclocked 8-series GPUs for high performance and Sun-like temperatures
- GeForce 9800 GTX – a minor update to the 512MB GeForce 8800 GTS that performs near-enough the same, but costs much more.
Aren’t you glad you waited for the 9-series to launch before upgrading your graphics? You really needn’t have bothered.

Well, the benchmarks are almost done. In fact the reference PC is running the tests as I write, and then it’ll just be a case of Spode putting these scores into the code, making a couple of interface tweaks and we’ll have something we can send out.
It’s been a tough week or two bug-testing the new benchmarks into the wee small hours, and debating what’s going on with the few anomalous scores we’ve been getting, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Read more
