NVIDIA remark 8800GT to 9800GT, no more HybridPower

ECS 9800GT
According to our source, GeForce 9800GT is just around the corner. Because there are still lots of 8800GT inventory out there, NVIDIA have decided that they will allow partners to flash BIOS, change 8800GT device ID to 9800GT device ID directly.
What’s more, if partner wants, NVIDIA can laser remark those inventory G92 chip.
9800GT will support HybridPower, but because of inventory cards lack of control chips so they will not support the power saving feature.
This time NV provides not only reference card but also production permission to all partners at the right beginning of the launch. That means all companies can make non-reference card to reduce cost.
The card will be officially announced in this quarter.

The cooler: AC accelero S1

VRM part looks really bad.

Looks like a 3-phase power downgraded to 2-phase, well… not much of a problem if you ask me.
