Well it seems like the 9800 GT might not be that much better than the 8800 GT. Perhaps some testing will prove different?

While the 9800 GTX+ is also equipped with a G92b and has HybridPower, this time there are 128 stream processors with speeds of of 738/1836/1100 MHz or a 9% increase compared to the 9800 GTX “1.0″. Not bad, especially when you consider that’s it’s pretty much the same price as the previous version of the GTX.

how did they get that, based on card specs? testing has already proved a 10 to 20% increase in performance over the 8800gtx cards.
in which case is not a big improvement.
