TheInquirer reports that Nvidia's G92 or NV55 as it it may also be known should be as quiet as a mouse. Ever since the GeForceFX debacle, Nvidia has been producing ever quieter graphics cards, and this GeForce "9800" (truth to be told, 8900 moniker might be more appropriate) is another improvement over previous generation product. As it turns out, in preliminary audio tests, the new card is more silent than not just 8800Ultra, but it is also less noisy than 8800GTX. It turns out that we are slowly approaching the era of silent monsters - computers that will emit less noise that your typical 15.4-inch laptop.

GeForced money making chip designed Nvidia has worked in silence and solitude and managed to tape out its upcoming high-end-oriented G92 chip on schedule. The 65nm part is set to power the high-end models of the GeForce 9 series and will bring PCI-Express 2.0 support for Nvidia cards. The first G92 cards will arrive sometime in November and will replace the GeForce 8800 GTX and Ultra at the top of the graphics chain. The chip's specifications are still up in the air but one can expect significantly more transistors than on the G80 and more Stream Processors. And if we're really lucky, a 512-bit memory bus. Wait for it.
