releasing the new 9800

GTX except for the clocks. The core clock is going to be set at 750
mhz memory at 2300
DDRmhz and a 1890
mhz. The core clock is a
substantial increase of 75
mhz. Get more at

I know this card has been out for a while now, but I thought this would be a good time to start my own reviewing section. There were only two games that I could really test, Call of Duty 4 and Crysis. This is only my first review so bare with me on this.
Test System
Processor: Core 2 Duo E6600@3.0GHz
Motherboard: EVGA 680I SLI TR
Memory: 2X1gb Partriot DDR2 800 low latency(4-4-4-12)
Hard Drive: Western Digital 200gb 7200rpm IDE
Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP2 32bit
Drivers: Forceware 169.21
Lets get right in to the game tests.
Call of Duty 4- Everything Max 16XAF 4XAA-
I don't have any other card to test this against, but still this card does exceptional performance and It's only on dual core.
Crysis 1.21- High DX9 0AF, 0AA
Overall I am so glad I bought this card. It preforms just a little worse that the 9800GTX at stock speeds, and I still have the step-up.
Today ASUS has showed us the first real pictures of the new HD 3850X2. This card is going to be just like its big brother the 3870X2, but with lower clocks. This card should be a very good alternative for running in crossfire.
Today Nvidia has released their new chip set, the 780a SLI. This chip set is one of a kind for nvidia because along with supporting the new AMD AM2+ tri-cores and the Phenom quad cores it also come with tri-sli and on board graphics processor. This makes the transition for getting a high quality motherboard with good on-board graphics. The motherboard also comes with Hybrid-SLI for a great boost in SLI performance. To go on top of that you also get Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts. Check out more at:
