GF 98 GT graphics card and hardware configuration problems.
98GT is actually 88GT. Basically, the current 98GT adopts 65NM G92-35 core, that is, the 88GT with vest. Except for some energy-saving technologies, 3Way sli and other functions that have nothing to do with performance or are not used by ordinary users, it can be said that there is no difference between 98GT and 88GT, and even the core memory frequency of the public version is the same. It's just that the manufacturer changed its name on the BIOS, in order to make it clear that it's not because of 96> 88 makes people mistakenly think that the performance of 96GT is better than 88GT. . In fact, the performance of the 88GT is far better than that of the 96GT. Of course, it may be renamed as 98GT+ when the 98GT comes on the market at 55 nm. You can call it the optimized version. If the price is the same, of course, the 98GT is preferred. The specification of the 98GT is still better than that of the 88GT. According to online data, the only difference between the 98GT and the 88GT in specification is that it provides a complete set of 64 texture units (88gt 56). In addition, the production process is more mature and the power consumption control is better. However, it should be noted that with the arrival of the 98GT, there is also on-board 1G video memory, because the G92 core supports physical acceleration. This 98GT public version of on-board 1G video memory is not only to improve the performance of the graphics card under high resolution and high AA, but more importantly, to reserve enough video memory for the physical acceleration part in a large number of games supporting physical acceleration in the future. The independent physical accelerator card launched by physX before it was acquired by NVIDIA has 128M video memory on board. It is foreseeable in the future that more than 128M video memory will be used for physical acceleration. If this is the case, it is a bit out of trend to buy a 512M 98GT now. I think it is better to buy a 55NM 98GT with 1G video memory directly (don't worry, the performance of the 98GT is not as good as that of the 485, However, ATI has no weakness of strong products in 8~1 yuan. It is foreseeable that ATI will soon lower the price of 485 to about 1, and at the same time, there is no other way for 98GT except to reduce the price of 98GT with 1G video memory to 9~1.

In addition, why don't the landlord consider waiting for 485 to buy 485 at a reduced price? It must be pointed out that physical acceleration is not only supported by NVIDIA, because in addition to physX acquired by NVIDIA, there is Havok acquired by INTEL. Although it seems ridiculous, companies acquired by INTEL will give ATI(AMD) technology, but it is not like that, because Havok's technology is open source and free, just like crossfire, and Havok's technology focuses on software. Therefore, the possibility of ATI supporting Havok through drivers is not ruled out when necessary, and don't be afraid of the lack of games. Blizzard's Diablo 3 has confirmed that it supports the physical acceleration of Havok and looks forward to ING. . . . . . .

1. The low-end of Mingxuan, Yingtong, Onda, Colorful, and Shuangmin Movie Maker: manufactured by Shenzhen's Palit, with average quality but large market sales

2. The high-end of Mingxuan, Yingtong, Onda, Colorful, and Shuangmin Movie Maker: manufactured by ATI's sapphire or PowerColor. Shuangmin also has Qingyun OEM

3. Dylan Hengjin: Taiwan Province Hanxun OEM

4. Spartak: Jetbo OEM

5. Songjing: elite OEM

6. Shuangjie: Qingyun OEM

7. Elsa: Onda has it now, and some of them are from MSI or Gigabyte. The rest are all from a street in Shenzhen.

Let me introduce you:

It is necessary to briefly introduce the common display chip manufacturers, which are Intel, ATI, nVidia, VIA(S3), SIS, Matrox, XGI and 3D Labs according to the current market share. Among them, Intel, VIA(S3) and SIS mainly produce integrated chips; ATI and nVidia are mainly independent chips, which are the mainstream in the market at present; Matrox and 3D Labs are mainly oriented to the professional graphics market.

First-line brands:

All of them are international brands and world-class manufacturers. * * * is characterized by strong R&D capability, complete product lines and outstanding quality. Because the production process of motherboard and graphics card is close, many motherboard manufacturers are also graphics card manufacturers. It should also be mentioned here that Hercules, the former graphics card giant who originally belonged to the first-line brand, has withdrawn from the graphics card market due to competitive pressure.

MSI: A+N

MSI has been the number one graphics card shipment for several years in succession, and it still ranked first in the world with 8 million pieces in 24. MSI has a strong independent research and development capability, and it is one of the few manufacturers that can independently launch optimized non-public graphics cards. The workmanship of its graphics cards is excellent, but the channel of MSI is not very smooth, it is not easy to buy in the domestic secondary market, and sometimes it is troubled by out of stock.

ASUS: a+n

In 24, ASUS shipped about 7.9 million graphics cards, ranking second with a slight disadvantage. Needless to say, the quality of ASUS graphics cards is even more remarkable, and his high-end graphics cards are often optimized and strengthened non-public versions. As the overlord of the motherboard industry, ASUS certainly can't stand the backwardness of graphics cards. In the past two years, ASUS has gradually begun to exert its strength in the graphics card business, which will launch a strong challenge to MSI's position as the boss.

PowerColor):A

It is also a manufacturer from Taiwan Province, China, and its brand in mainland China is called "Dataland". The graphics card of Power Color is excellent in workmanship, and the high-end is particularly outstanding. In 24, Hanxun shipped 4 million pieces, ranking third in the world, and it is also one of ATI's three major partners. For friends who like A card, Jixun (Dylan Hengjin) is a good choice.

Leadtek: n

As a senior graphics card manufacturer, Leadtek is the most heavyweight partner of nVidia. It can not only produce entertainment graphics cards, but also the only manufacturer in Asia that can produce nVidia Quadro series professional graphics cards. In addition, the TV cards of Leadtek have a good reputation in the industry. Litai graphics card has always been excellent in workmanship. Although it is more expensive, it is really worth the money. In 24, Litai shipped 3 million < P > pieces, ranking among the top five.

Gigabyte: a+n

Compared with Asustek, Gigabyte cooperated with ATI earlier, and now it is one of ATI's three major partners, with the same shipment of 3 million pieces in 24. Gigabyte's high-end graphics cards are unique in design and excellent in quality, but many low-end models are shrink cards manufactured by Tongde (which will be introduced below), and their workmanship is relatively poor. At present, the Gigabyte graphics card with red PCB comes from Tongde, while the one with blue PCB is made by Gigabyte. In addition, GigaCube also has a subsidiary company, Taiwan Province Cube, which has been focusing on channel orders, mainly for the low-end graphics card market.

sapphire: a

the company name of sapphire is PC Partner, and its headquarters is in Hongkong, China. Its predecessor is the foundry of "ATI original graphics card", and it has ten years of experience in manufacturing A cards, and it is ATI's largest partner, and the original A cards currently sold overseas are still manufactured by Baineng. The production process, quality control and ex-factory mode of sapphire graphics card strictly follow ATI's production standards, adopt high-quality electronic components and accessories, and have excellent stability and compatibility, which is a model of A card. The official of Baineng has not announced the exact quantity of shipments, and it is estimated that there should be millions of pieces (I got 9 million pieces from a certain channel, but it has not been confirmed). In any case, it is well-deserved as a first-line manufacturer.

uncrowned king:

Foxconn: a+n

Foxconn has been producing graphics cards for many first-line brand machines such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard. Last year, Hon Hai successively acquired two powerful manufacturers, Hanxun and Litai, and gradually turned to them as OEMs. In this way, in 24, Hon Hai Group shipped more than 1 million graphics cards, which has become the de facto dominant graphics card industry. But so far Hon Hai has not launched its own brand, so now he can only be the uncrowned king.

Mafia boss:

PALIT: A+N

Almost all graphics cards produced by PALIT are OEM for other brands, and the shipment in 24 was about 6 million. Although Tongde can also produce high-end graphics cards with excellent quality, he doesn't have his own brand, and his customers are numerous distributors with no production capacity, led by Colorful, which enables him to boldly cut corners and regularly introduce low-priced and low-quality shrink cards (although this may not be his intention), while Tongde himself has always been lurking behind the scenes, calling him the boss of the gang.

Second-tier brands:

Although they are not as large as the first-tier manufacturers, they still have strong R&D capabilities, and their products have their own characteristics and outstanding quality. In addition, two powerful second-tier brands, Diamond and TerraTec, which are famous for their sound cards, have successively withdrawn from the graphics card market.

Elsa: a+n

Elsa from Germany was once the dominant player in the graphics card industry. Almost all of his products were improved non-public versions, with excellent workmanship, and he also had the ability to develop non-public drivers, which was unmatched by other graphics card manufacturers. Unfortunately, Elsa's head office went bankrupt due to investment mistakes. The Elsa graphics cards we can see now are basically from Elsa, Asia. They are mainly produced by several Taiwan Province manufacturers, and their quality is still excellent. At the same time, they can also produce FireGL series professional graphics cards, but they are not the same as the previous Elsa.

Gainward: n

It was produced by Gengyu, Taiwan Province, China, and changed its name to Gainward because it was squatted in the mainland. Gengsheng graphics card has always been luxurious in workmanship and has outstanding overclocking ability. It has the reputation of "upgrading technology in graphics cards" and "magic jumper" is unique in the industry. Although Gengsheng is favored by many DIYer, he pays too much attention to technology but ignores publicity, which leads to the gradual erosion of market share and the continuous loss of enterprises. At the end of 24, Gengsheng was acquired by Palit, but fortunately, Gengsheng's brand remained. I believe that the reorganized Gengsheng will not disappoint many players!

xunjing (xfx): n

the manufacturer is Songjing technology, and it is also from Taiwan Province, China. Previously, Songjing has been committed to OEM business, and it has only been two years since it entered the DIY market, but it has grown rapidly. Xunjing introduced new cards quickly, and the product line is very complete. Besides the conventional graphics cards, there are Personal Cinema series graphics cards and nVIDIA NVTV TV cards, which are outstanding in workmanship. At present, Xunjing is gradually being loved by more and more players.

Sparkle: n

Another enterprise in Taiwan Province, China, with 2 years of experience in graphics card manufacturing, can be regarded as an old-fashioned powerhouse. Graphics card materials are good, and the cost performance is high.

galaxy: n

This brand comes from Hong Kong and is produced by Jiawei Technology. Yingchi graphics card is very careful in DIY, and the graphics card is gorgeous in workmanship, and has made a lot of efforts in radiator and overclocking, and its influence in China is gradually expanding.

inno3D: n

It's also a brand in Hong Kong. The company's name is InnoVISION, so some people call it the Zhongtian graphics card, and its workmanship is excellent. In addition, this company can also produce InnoDV series TV/video cards, InnoAX series sound cards and other products, and its technical strength is quite good.

Grand Mars: A+N

is also from Hong Kong. Different from other manufacturers, he sells graphics cards based on two chips at the same time, but all of his products are manufactured by contract, and the contract manufacturer is mainly GigaCube, a subsidiary of Gigabyte mentioned above, with good workmanship and good overclocking ability.

SuperGrece):A

A famous graphics card brand from Europe is one of ATI's main partners. The quality of graphics cards is excellent. It was promoted in China two years ago, but it is rare now.

Creative: A+N

The famous sound card brand actually has a high position of innovation in the graphics card industry, and the famous 3D Labs is already a subsidiary of innovation. Innovative civil graphics cards are mainly produced by MSI and other big factories with outstanding quality, but they are not easy to see.

compro: n

When it comes to this brand, we first think of its "Apocalypse" series of TV/video products. In fact, this company has been engaged in the OEM production of graphics cards for a long time, and its own brand of graphics cards has not been promoted vigorously, but the workmanship is still worthy of recognition.

Asmat (A Smart): n

An old brand in Taiwan Province, China, the manufacturer is Dingshen Technology, and the graphics card is not bad, but it is rare.

Mediamax: n

In order to consolidate the market in Chinese mainland, nVidia joined hands with Jiadu Group, a well-known domestic agent, to launch this new brand in April this year, so Liyuan can be regarded as a clique of N .. At present, his graphics cards are relatively rare. From the picture, high-end products are good, but some low-end models are slightly worse. Faced with the joint suppression of many incompetent brands in China, Liyuan's future is uncertain.

Motherboard manufacturers of second-tier brands:

In recent two years, with the continuous expansion of the scale gap between motherboard manufacturers, second-tier motherboard brands have gradually shown a decline, so they have turned to the graphics card field in order to make up for the loss of motherboard business. With their experience in motherboards, their graphics cards are also good, which can basically be classified as second-line or quasi-second-line.

Tyan: a

A well-known server/workstation motherboard manufacturer, cooperated with ATI to launch a series of high-end graphics cards earlier. The quality was impeccable, but the price was high, so his graphics cards were always good, and then gradually faded out of people's sight.

Chaintech: n

It can be regarded as an old-fashioned graphics card manufacturer, with excellent quality and large OEM output, but its own brand is unknown. Recently, Chaintech has also strengthened its own publicity, expecting his better performance.

Jetway: A+N

There are abundant OEM resources. The mobile version 96 on the market last year was actually made by Jetway. Relatively speaking, his own brand is not very famous, and his graphics card price advantage.
