In spite of April Fools day Nvidia has launched its new addition to the Geforce 9 series, the 9800GTX. The reference cards works at 675MHz for the core, 2.2GHz for the 512MB of GDDR3 memory and 1,688MHz for the Shaders.

The partner list includes MSI, EVGA, XFX, Zotac, Albatron, BFG, Inno3D and Sparkle, but only a few of these have decided to simultaneously launch a factory overclocked 9800GTX. We already wrote about Foxconn's Extreme here, and as far as we know XFX, Inno3D and EVGA also decided to do OC versions. These OC editions have been pulled off the partner website's since Nvidia wants partners to wait for a few days before going out with OC editions.

The cards are listed here and the price ranges from €249 for Club3D's reference card, all the way to €329 for not yet announced EVGA 9800GTX SSC edition. Here are some reference clocked cards from various partners, enjoy.
