NVIDIA To Release GeForce 9800 GTX+ Graphics Card (UPDATED!)

Thu 2008-06-19 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

UPDATE: PC Perspective is reporting that the 9800GTX+ is in fact the G92b! Now things are REALLY going to get exciting!

TweakTown is reporting that NVIDIA will be releasing a new GeForce 9800 series model, the brilliantly named GeForce 9800 GTX+.

Here are the details:

“The GeForce 9800 GTX+ takes the highly efficient G92-based GeForce 9800 GTX and offers unbeatable value for value conscious gamers.

Key product points:

GeForce 9800 GTX+ is the best single card price/performance at $229; the original GeForce 9800 GTX will transition to $199
Processor clock of 1836MHz and graphics clock of 738MHz
GeForce PhysX support! World’s only physics API for both the CPU and the GPU!
Support for CUDA-based applications, including Folding@Home and Badaboom video transcoding applications.
Support for 2-way and 3-way SLI”

Well, my predictions were fairly accurate. At $199, the GeForce 9800 GTX will definitely be a strong competitor to the Radeon HD 4850 when it comes to the all-mighty Bang for the Buck. The 9800GTX+ will certainly be an excellent value as well.

While this is a good move by NVIDIA, I am curious as to when we will finally see some G92b models, which is basically the G92 architecture shrunk to 55nm.
