Woah talk about bad luck 
A 128bit 9800GT? Friggin hilarious :tv:
Ahsan those guys are really nice whenever i buy stuff from them. Really.
My friend, here in Wah Cantt, bought a PC from them on my recommendation (online purchase). He bought an inno3D 9800GT. The card gave up after a few months. He got a GTS 250 in replacement... Its a pretty good card. He had to pay the difference of course.
Well, I guess they'll give you the 256bit version on Monday.
Want me to send them a mail?
EDIT: Just sent a long txt to Junaid @ Galaxy, the guy i normally deal with, mentioned this incident.

lol i didnt even know a 128-bit 9800GT exists. talk about being seriously underpowered! Ahsan you sure its 128-bit? if you havent returned it already, check it using GPUz. should give you (and us) confirmation..
my suspicions were true, XFX (or any other manufacturer i think) didnt do a 128-bit version of the 9800GT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_9_Series#GeForce_9800_GT
refer to the table there, the 98GT only comes in 256-bit memory.
a google search yielded nothing either: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...t=result&cd=1&q=9800gt+128+bit+memory&spell=1
regardless, im very surprised at galaxy. they're losing their competitive edge.

@ASK
Well ... I got the 9800GT from Graphics Mansion, galaxys distributor. He was to get the EVGA card today, he sent his guy but the person wasnt given the card *merey samnay baat ki so I know I wasnt being fooled*
Whats amazing me and pissing me off really bad is why the hell did Galaxy supply a 128bit 9800GT. I really would have not mind a proper 9800GT 256bit from XFX! But ... a 128bit 9800GT ... WTF! Why ? Im all happy I plug in my card, I get GPU-Z and its showing me a 128bit bus and basically eveyrthing lower than what I expect from an XFX 9800GT 256bit AS stated on the website!
The authorized distributor is very nice, he took back the 9800GT without saying anything! Why did Galaxy actually supply them a 128bit card is beyond me! If not me then whoever gets that 9800GT 128bit card is getting ripped off real bad!

Main bheta rahunga ... eVGA laykar rahunga!
@dark
Im very sure bro. The fact that it didnt have a 6pin connector made me wonder wtf! The card was G92, 65nm, 96 SPs, 128bit mem bus, 580/1400/700 clocks ... its fillrates and bandwithhs were LESSER than my HD-4670 :\ ...
Have a look at these

Apparently there are 128bit versions ... not too sure about them but definately non 6pin connector ones!
@necro
Look closely in the second picture. You will clearly see the absence of the 6pin. I was too pissed off to take GPU-Z pics ! Sorry!

okay. putting 2 and 2 together:
128bit memory and 96sp's is actually a 9600GT, someone changed the stickers on the damn card. also, a 96gt doesnt need the 6pin PCIe power connector. moreover the card in the pic on page 1 is freaking small for a 98gt, a 98gt is a rather long card, length-wise.
therefore what you brought home was actually a 96gt, with a 9800gt dabba on the outside and a 9800gt sticker on it. talk about messed up!

Nope. GPU-Z clearly said G92! And it may look small in the pic but it was a 9800GT. 9600GT isnt 128bit either mate ... :S
It was one strange card! I wish I had taken a GPU-Z pic ... sab clear hojata!

Good decision :wink2:
That was actually revenge from XFX for all the bad things you have been saying about their cards
9600GT is a 256-bit card and it does not have 96sp. It actually has only 64sp.
9600GT DOES require a 6-pin PCIe power connector.
I don't know what sort of 9600GT you have seen. Must have bought it from Galaxy computers :lol:
You know what I think this is ... remmeber the 5700 LE ? That lame stuff ? I think I just got a 9800GT LE :S
whoops my bad. misquoted the specs to the 9600GSO..Good decision :wink2:

there are cards which are not stated on the makers website... i mean i once purchased a force3d hd3650 agp from galaxy and i couldn't find any mentioning of that on force3d site... all i could get was talks about it on forums and people talking about diriver issues and stuff.... maybe they make crappy stuff for crappy 3rd world countries or whatever....
lolz....
yep u got 9800 gt china, aajkal sab china hai bhai :crying:
yep exactly, the rejected stuff they send here to sell off cheaply.....shukar yar mein ne apna gpu czone se liya hai :wink2:
GPU-Z tested. RivaTuner tested (and o/c'ed
) ... its bigger than a 9600GT. Anyways, its history now ... lets see when I get the proper 9800GT, from a proper vendor like eVGA ... not exx-aaf-exx!GPU-Z stated this as a G92 Rev A2, 96 SP, 8 ROC, 128bit.
well i wont blame galaxy yet they sold me a slightly oc'd inno3d 9600gso which doesnt even exist on inno3d's website u sir ahsan obviously got the wrong card some miss badged card or the like...my current card has 2 stickers on it but i dont dare remove the upper sticker to see whats inside....could be a 8800gs that might show up but wats the use in voiding the warranty for sake of curiosity my box already had 2 stickers found 9600gt 512 inside and the sticker above it mentioned 9600gso 384mb

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.
-
XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
