GeForce 9800 GTX+ SLI review (plus model) -
Page 1
You know, I predicted that the GeForce 9800 GTX+ model is going to be a pretty popular product. Honestly, it's really good value and performance for just over 200 USD. A price that is attractive but most of all acceptable to a lot of you.
The first GeForce 9800 GTX+ arrived here like a week and a half ago, and although at first I'd figured that the card could not make that much of a difference, that proved to be a bit of a paradox.
See the GeForce 9800 GTX+ not only is a newly created SKU with some higher clocks, note the GPU die-size has been shrunk towards 55nm (which was 65nm). Now typically with a die shrink NVIDIA has a chance to optimize things a little from their previous build. Yes, NVIDIA pushed some efficiency levels in there. And our recent test proved it to be a very competitive card that could even overclock incredibly.
The minute that review was posted I started receiving email, emails asking us to test this product in SLI and then compare it with AMDs Radeon 4850 HD in Crossfire. And sure, that's a very interesting perspective to look at, so I'll happily dedicate some time for such an article, which you just landed at.
