Aah finally I have time to get back to my regular review schema. Current and recent releases from both ATI and NVIDIA created a waiting queue for other products and the review today has been pending for 4 weeks *coughs*
None the less, coincidentally, the product we review today underwent a brutal price fall, see we are testing the GeForce 9800 GTX from Inno3D and it is their OC edition. After the price fall, this product is roughly as fast as the 9800 GTX+ and comes with a premium bundle, all that at roughly 229 USD. Not a bad deal folks.
Today's tested product will come from Inno3D, in the past we have tested a lot of their products. They offer good quality products. Earlier last year they introduced a very powerful concept with their custom cooled solutions under the label iChill. A big hit from the very beginning. Today's product does not come from that iChill line, yet from their OC edition graphics cards.
A reference based GeForce 9800 GTX, yet pre-tested and qualified to run at higher clock-speeds. That and a better bundle as Inno3D is now bundling a DX10 title with the OC edition, namely Company of Heroes, Opposing fronts from THQ.
But don't let me spoil all the fun just yet, below hiding behind that shield, we have the card .. let's fire up the games. Woohaa.
