XFX GeForce 9800GTX Video Card Review

news · April 2, 2008

Priced at $349.00 it's replacing the 8800GTX that will most probably

now go EOL (End OF Life) due to the fact that it is currently priced

$10.00 more than the 9800GTX. Personally I think this is a bit of April

foolery on the end users as the 9800GTX is a good card, but it should have

been released as a different version of an 8800, not a new nomenclature

altogether. NVIDIA has to have something more noteworthy up their sleeves,

but with PC games on the wane maybe this is a turning point for the

industry at large and their focus is on the next generation console

systems. XFX makes good products and this card is just that a good

product, but not a great one. I would buy a pair of XFX 9600GT 740m cards

that are priced at $169.00 each and run them in an SLI configuration if my

budget was in the $350 - $400 range as they outperform both the 800GTX and

9800GTX when ran in a single card situation. That's my take on all this so

until later folks.
