Although, we should note, Nvidia rates the GTS 250’s max board power at 150W, right at the limits of the PCI Express spec for this power plug configuration. The reduction in power connectors is made possible by a new board design that cuts power consumption sufficiently to make the second power input superfluous. Although its base clock speeds remain the same as the 9800 GTX+-738MHz for most of the GPU, 1836MHz for the shaders, and 1100MHz (or 2200 MT/s) for the GDDR3 memory-the GeForce GTS 250 is a physically smaller card, at nine inches long rather than 10.5″, and it has but a single six-pin auxiliary power connector onboard. This is probably the card that, by all rights, the 9800 GTX+ should have been, because it consolidates the gains that switching to a 55nm fab process can bring. Which brings us to today and the introduction of yet another graphics card based on the G92 GPU, the GeForce GTS 250.

Slowly, the GTX+ began replacing the 9800 GTX in the market, as the buying public scratched its collective head over the significance of that plus symbol. The base clock speeds on the GTX+ matched those of some “overclocked in the box” GeForce 9800 GTX cards, and the performance of the two was essentially identical, though the GTX+ did reduce power consumption by a handful of watts. This chip found its way to market aboard a slightly revised graphics card dubbed the GeForce 9800 GTX+. Then, in response to the introduction of strong new competition, Nvidia shipped a new version of the G92 GPU with the same basic architecture but manufactured on a smaller 55nm fabrication process.

And thus things remained for nearly ten weeks. Thus the GeForce 8800 GTS 512 became the 9800 GTX.

Those cards had arrived on the scene way back in November of 2006.Īs the winter of ’07 began to fade into spring, Nvidia had a change of heart and suddenly started renaming the later members of the GeForce 8 series as “new” 9-series cards. This card initiated the G92’s long history of brand confusion by overlapping with existing 320MB and 640MB versions of the GeForce 8800 GTS, which were based on an entirely different chip, the much larger (and older) G80. The fuller implementation of G92 came in December ’07 in the form of the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB. The 8800 GT was a stripped-down version of the G92 with a few bits and pieces disabled. The first graphics card based on it was the GeForce 8800 GT, which debuted in October of 2007. The history of Nvidia’s G92 graphics processor is a long one, as these things go.
