Hae Guyz, Anyone gots info on teh new 9800GTX+?
Charedj \| 5:07 PM on 07.29.2008	8 comments

This card has been a little bit of a ninja, to say the least.

I've seen some lovely reveiws of this little beauty, but for the life of me I can't find a thing from XFX about it. I was going to get one next week(once they release in good old NZ) but I'm not sure what is going on with the whole "+" side of things.

Its cheaper, and better, but theres no ads or promos and that makes me wonder... is something wrong, with either the chipset or the card itself?
Some light shed on this subject would be much appreciated.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Funny coming from Linuxguy

The 9800gtx+ uses a smaller die. Im not sure exactly what that means (something to do with processor size i think) but it does mean that it can go faster, and is cheaper to produce.
Theres nothing wrong with this card. They just wanted something to compete with the radeon 4850 in a similar price range.

linuxguy

if I were you I'd get the Radeon HD 4850
more powerful and at a very good price

Linuxguy is right for nz people. http://pricespy.co.nz/ is the place to go to check out prices for stuff. Id recommend buying off someone in your area though, so you can go pick up.
The 4850 is cheaper and performs roughly the same, but perhaps most importantly - you can get one now :P.
