XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ Black Edition 512MB video card review @ Elite Bastards

[news 28]

 

Hi everyone,

 

While AMD's Radeon HD 4850 part has been gaining a lot of plaudits and accolades, it shouldn't be forgotten that NVIDIA are still competing at a similar price point by making use of a 55 nanometre shrink of their tried and tested G92 core, which appears in the form of the GeForce 9800 GTX+. Today, we take a look at XFX's GeForce 9800 GTX+ Black Edition, which features some factory overclocks over a reference board, and also finds itself bundled with a copy of the very recent hot AAA title, Far Cry 2.

"While it isn't trying to live up to the standards set by their XXX range of boards, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ Black Edition does sport some modest factory overclocks against a reference board. Oddly, these clock speed changes actually sees the GPU core clock drop very slightly (down to 785MHz from 788MHz), but this is more than compensated for by an increase in the board's shader clock to 1900MHz (from 1836MHz on a reference part). Finally, the 512MB of GDDR3 memory on-board finds itself with a 50MHz speed bump, giving it a final memory clock of 1150MHz."
