9800GT with 55nm GPU Released

[dhc014]

Newegg recently listed this:

EVGA 512-P3-N980-AR GeForce 9800 GT Hybrid Power 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
Hybrid power edition/55nm/HDMI output with audio

Buy.com has it for $2 cheaper.

Most sites selling the card don't mention that it is 55nm.

Interesting. I wonder if there would be any issues running SLI with one older and one newer card, since they aren't changing the name at all you have to figure people will end up with this configuration even if they don't intend to.

According to the link its DVI out but it includes and HDMI adapter. How is the sound going through DVI? As far as i know DVI cant do sound.

I have a HIS 4850 that connects the HDMI over dvi (via adapter) and sound works

So im sure this works the same way

Yep, same with the Visiontek.

I ordered one for a F@H box.

I am wondering about how much less power it is using than the 65nm models.
