- This chip will be refresh of slowest model in NVIDIA offer. Cards with G98 (D8M) are still named GF 8400GS, because changes aren`t numerous. What`s new?
- Support of HDMI and Dual Link HDCP (propably with using some chip)

Most important is that, G98 provide full VC-1 decode. First NVIDIA card with this. That`s mean, on boxes we will see PureVideo 3 logos. Clocks are this same, 450/900/400MHz (GPU/Shade/Mem) and used memory: 256MB DDR2, 64bit. TDP of all card will not be more than 30W.
First samples of this low-profile card should be already yet. WHQL driver will be finish in 7th November.
