NVIDIA geforce 9800 GTX review and features check!
Geforce 9800 GTX 512 MB is out to tempt gamers throughout the world.Geforce 9800 is said to be designed based on geforce 8800 gtx's architecture.It is an extremely tweaked refreshed 8800 gtx at an fair price 300$ to 350$.Note that these prices are assumed to go as low as 225$ to 250$ within few months.Note that G92 is the GPU chipset core codename which hosts itself in nvidia 8800GTS ,9800 GX2 and 9800GTX ! Hence it is based on the same core but clocked higher and tweaked a bit to squeeze the little hidden performance.The G92 silicon is based on NVIDIA's newer 0.65nm silicon.It has 128 shader processors and accomodates itself in a smaller die size since made of 65nm technology.Point of View released its 9800GTX retail product with the bundle at 290$ price range with 512 MB memory. The box from POV contains

Power requirement is high for such cards if connected in SLI or triple SLI mode.But the power consumptions os lot lesser than Nvidia 8800GTX.Note than 450 watts PSU is needed for this card when connected in as single mode.When in dual SLI mode 750 watts is required and if third 9800GTX is connected in triple SLI mode atleast 1000watts PSU is mandetory.
The three extra features which this 9800GTX has is
1, Enhanced New pure video
2,Dynamic contrast Enhancement technology
3,Dynamic color Enhancement
The GeForce 9800 GTX has integrated HDMI support. Using a certified DVI-to-HDMI adaptor in conjunction with the on-board SPDIF audio connector, the GeForce 9800 GTX is capable of full HDMI output via the DVI connector. And yes, all GeForce 9800 GTX graphics cards provide dual-link HDCP support.
Any generic 9800 GTX at standard is at 675 / 1675/ 2200 clocks (core / shaders / memory).But it is said to be easily overclocked upto 770 / 1925 / 2520 (core / shaders / memory).Hence it is not that much important for 8800gtx users to update their card sice it is more or less the same.As a conclusion we can say that 9800GTx does not feature any beasts which could pull surprises.But it is priced at 300 to 350$ which is quite reasonable.
