NVIDIA Rolls Out GeForce 9800 GTX+
NVIDIA has recently come up with a new card called the GeForce 9800 GTX+ that intends to do battle with the Radeon HD 4850 from rival ATI.
The new GTX+ GPU comes with a core clock of 1836 MHz and a memory clock of 738 MHz. Nvidia highlighted that physics support (based on Ageia’s original PhysX engine that has been integrated into CUDA) is supported by both the 9800 GTX and GTX+ through the driver version 177.39. With PhysX enabled, Nvidia claims that the physics simulation in the 3D Mark Vantage benchmark gains about 7.5x in performance and provides more than six times the performance of AMD’s Radeon 4850.
The GTX+ GPU supports both 2-way and 3-way SLI configurations, just as the original 9800 GTX does. NVIDIA claims that when pitted against the Radeon HD 4850, the GTX+ is on average 22 percent faster than the 4850. NVIDIA’s reviewers guide for the 9800 GTX+ shows that the card can deliver 30 fps on Crysis at 1920 x 1280 resolution verses about 27 fps for the HD 4850.
The company also claims to have an advantage in overall gaming performance in Crysis, Call of Duty 4, world in Conflict, ET: Quake Wars, Oblivion, Lost Planet, Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and Stalker.
One more important note on the 9800 GTX+ GPU is that it is built using a 55nm refresh of the original G92 core in the 9800 GTX, which was built using 65nm process.
Targeted largely at the mainstream segment of the gamer market, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ will retail for USD 299 and is expected to be out by mid July.
