NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ Review

Adrian Wong · 29th Jul 2008, 11:50 PM

We first covered the launch of the new NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ on June 20, 2008. Launched right after the GT 200 series of graphics cards, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ is die-shrinked version of the venerable NVIDIA G92 GPU, used in cards like the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB and the GeForce 8800 GT.

Thanks to the die-shrink from 65 nm to 55 nm, NVIDIA was able to further boost the core and shader clock speeds of the GPU by 9.3%. Everything else was unchanged, including the memory clock which remained at 1.1 GHz. Hence, NVIDIA called it the GeForce 9800 GTX+ (Plus), instead of the GeForce 9900 GTX.

Good job.

It's much more clear if each chart is either one resolution with each card or one card on each resolution. While you did add % comparison at the end I still think those charts would look and function better if they were divided up.

Actually, that was what we did in the past. But I decided to combine them in a single chart so that we can see how one card running at a certain resolution compares with another card running at a different resolution.

I see now. How about the combined chart on a separate page?

Well, maybe we should do a poll on this, cause some people may complain that there are too many charts of the same data.

OK if I had to pick then I'd rather have the classical fps charts by resolution instead of % charts or combo charts. Else there's no harm in an extra page to reflect the data in a broader manner.

I did complain to you before.
