NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX & 9800GX2 Review Roundup

• DriverHeaven: XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Black Edition Review:
  
  

  “We were very impressed by the performance of the card overall and the core and shader clocks take this GTX to a great performance level but despite this we still feel that XFX could have pushed the memory a little further than they have, though there is nothing to stop consumers doing this manually.
  
  Overall the GTX was already a great product; it has excellent 3D performance, good video features, runs quiet and is very well priced. The XFX Black Edition improves on this performance but still manages to retail an attractive price point and so is without doubt the best 9800 GTX we have seen to date.”

• TrustedReviews: Asus EN9800GX2 TOP:
  
  

  “In the mean time though, it's clear that if money is no object then this is certainly the card to go for. Yes, power consumption is quite high but then you can take advantage of HybridPower to run things more efficiently. Also, buying two 8800 GTS 512 cards and running them in SLI will get you similar performance and save £50 but then you're limited to a large SLI motherboard. Finally, while compatibility may be a problem, even if SLI isn't supported properly, just one of the internal cards will still give impressive performance in most of today's games. Indeed what the 9800 GX2 does is, once again, highlight how graphics hardware is waiting for games to catch up, rather than vice versa. With the exception of Crysis, and unless you run games at the absolute highest resolutions, any card over £200 will serve you just fine.”

• TweakTown: ASUS GeForce 9800 GTX TOP Edition:
  
  

  “While the more enthusiast orientated person will prefer to go for the cheapest card on the market and overclock it themselves, people who don’t want to have to worry about messing around with overclocking software will find the 9800 GTX TOP a treat. With great availability, a justifiable price and the performance of the dual GPU GX2 in some cases, it’s going to be an easy pick up for people who want to get a good bang for their buck.”
