*/"To be fair, I'm still in two minds about the GeForce 9800 GTX. And
even though BFG Tech has gone above and beyond the call of duty here, I
still don't think it's enough for me to change my mind about this
particular card in Nvidia's line-up.
You see, the standard cards are still on the expensive side compared to
the GeForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS 512, while BFG Tech's GeForce
9800 GTX OCX is priced at such a point that it's no longer competing
against only products in Nvidia's line-up, but also against the Radeon
HD 3870 X2. And over time, it seems like the 3870 X2's drivers have
improved a bit and it's now becoming a more rounded purchase when you
compare it to something like the card we've looked at here today.
When the 3870 X2 drags its feet in games that don't scale so well, the
BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX OCX is a faster card, but when you get into
scenarios where scaling is there, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 is generally a
significantly faster proposition. And because of that, I think it's the
better purchase right now in the £250 price bracket.
That's not to say that BFG Tech's card is one that you shouldn't
consider at all -- the company has worked to correct the omissions from
its earlier bundles and you can now use the audio over HDMI
functionality thanks to the included S/PDIF cable. It's also one of the
highest-clocked GeForce 9800 GTX cards out there---and it's backed by an
impressive warranty term---which makes it one of the best G92-based
cards on the market today. It's also the first G92-based card we've seen
that bests the GeForce 8800 GTX in a convincing enough manner for it to
be considered a replacement."/
