NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GT
The Nvidia GeForce 9800M GT is a graphics adapter for laptops and based on the 9800M GTX (G92 core) but features only 96 shaders (instead of the 112 of the GTX). The 9800M GT is produced in 65 nm and is therefore similar to the 8800M GTX (same shader count). The chip is intended for large desktop replacement laptops with a good cooling device.
As all cards with DirectX 10 capabilities, the GeForce 9800M GT renders the 3D images using "Unified Shaders". There don't exist any more dedicated pixel- and vertex shaders but 96 so called stream processors make the graphic work (which has been done by pixel and vertex shaders in former days). Furthermore, the shader units are higher clocked than the chip.
An advantage of the GeForce 9000 series is the integrated PureVideo HD video processor. It is able to help with the decoding of H.264-, VC-1-, MPEG2- and WMV9 video material in HD quality and eases the CPU.
In conjunction with the Nvidia 9100M G integrated graphics, the 9800M GT supports Hybrid-SLI (only HybridPower). HybridPower is a technique to choose between the integrated and dedicated graphics core, if performance or battery runtime is needed. This works only in Windows Vista. Up to now the user has to use a tool to switch between the GPUs. Later Nvidia wants to switch automatically in the drivers. GeForceBoost is not supported with this card, as there would be no performance gain to combine the integrated GPU with the 9800M GT.
Compared to desktop graphic cards, the 9800M GT is similar to the GeForce 8800 GS (which features a higher memory clock rate and is therefore a bit faster).

Gaming Performance
These benchmarks were conducted with high end notebooks (quad-core desktop CPU). Therefore, the performance with slower laptops may decrease.
Crysis: 1280x1024, very high: 21 fps -> not playable (in high playable)
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars: 1600x1200: 76 fps -> fluently playable
Half Life 2 - Episode 2: 1600x1200: 64 fps -> fluently playable
Supreme Commander: 1600x1200: 53 fps -> fluently playable
World in Conflict: 1280x1024: 30 fps -> playable
