Why is 9800gt better than gt220?

the gt220 is released after 9800gt.so gt220 should be better .why is 9800gt better than gt220.how is this possible??one more thing can anyone provide me all graphic cards performance rating of both ati and nvidia???|||This is because GT220 is designed with a few graphical processor just enough to run games at lowest settings while 9800GT although being older but have a not more graphical processor to it.



If you must crunch the numbers

GT220 were made with 48 CUDA cores where

9800GT were made with 112 CUDA cores

GT220 Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) 25.3

9800GT Memory Bandwidth (GB/sec) 57.6

GT220 Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec) 15

9800GT exture Fill Rate (billion/sec) 33.6



So one is new but designed for lower end user, Another one 1 - 3 years older but designed for intensive gaming.|||Vince has the right idea...the 9800gt was made...at that time.. as a flat out hard core gaming card. the gt220 was made so the low end "entry level" computers could at least play games. since the 220 works with out more need for power (no extra sockets...300W or less) the 9800 needs 400W+ and a 6 pin power pick-up, factory machines don't have. This sort of thing is nothing new...you can buy a HD 4670 1Gb card in AGP...it came out LONG after AGP was dead!|||It's actually "much" better...
