theoldrat Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Does anyone have a 9800GT working perfectly, if so which one did you get? In Perth, Australia I am only able to access the Gigabyte, MSI, Galaxy, Inno3D and Leadteck Brands. prices start from $169 (AUD) MSI/Inno3d.Galaxy to 199(AUD) Gigabyte?

theoldrat Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 bump - anyone? or should I just go with a standard 9800GTX or GTX+ instead? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaaseyRacer Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 As far as the 9800GT goes, I have not seen much to show the difference between the 8800GT. Personally I would go with the 8800GT as it is almost the same card, and there is a ton of support on this forum for it. However, if you are stuck with the 9800GT any of those brands will do the trick. Personally I have had the best luck with EVGA and BFG. I have had 75% good luck with ASUS and XFX. However, both ASUS and XFX had great RMA support. In the end I came out on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldrat Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 the 8800GT's are more expensive than the 9800GT's (by about $40 - not sure why) - which is whay I was looking at the 9800GT's Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Of Terror Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 im looking at buying a pair of 9800GT's as well. i dont want to go with the 8800's, i'd rather be up to date with the 9000 series. i know theres support for the 9800GTX edition, but what about just plain old 9800GT? the 9800GTX needs GFX strings to work correctly. anyone have the GFX strings for a 9800GT or know how to make them? i have NVkush installed right now. maybe my video card will work as soon as i plug it in? i'd like to keep both video cards in as i also run SLI in windows XP. my old setup wouldnt let me have 2 video cards in. it would cause a kernel panic in Leopard startup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pirloui Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 8800GT and 9800GT are exactly the same card, with a different name. So get the cheaper one, it doesn't matter. Watch out for eBay though, as the first generation of 8800GT made a lot of heat. The right ones are those with G92 chips. As for brands, all that change is warranty and cooler design.
