GeForce 9800GTX retail price revealed; $349

[Andreas G]

GeForce 9800GTX is already out for testing and news of the performance has been coming at a steady flow from multiple sources. Several leaked slides have now revealed the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail price) of the card that will arrive on March 25; $349 (one slide says $299-349, but the rest $349). This is actually slightly lower than our estimate and not bad at all. The performance is good, even though drivers are still in need of some tweaking. And you can expect many factory-overclocked cards. GeForce 9800GTX is based on the G92-420 core and runs at 675MHz. The 512MB GDDR3 memory will operate at 2200MHz and the shaders at 1688MHz.

I think I estimated $399 so I wasn't way off, but kudos to NVIDIA for the competitive pricing

Can't wait to see some real world benchies, see how the price:performance works out.

With this and the GX2 coming, wonder if the 3870 X2's will drop in price.......one can hope.
