Thread: GeForce 9800 GT

It feels like it was alone bygone that we were burying the GeForce 8000 alternation to conductor in the 9000s, but technology is a arbitrary affair and anon the 9000s will be abandoned beneath a abundance of GT200s.


The acceptable account for gamers in the ambience of bread-and-butter collapse is that alike admitting we will anon be lining up in aliment queues and dancing the Charleston on sidewalks for additional change, we will still be able to frag noobs in COD5 and bandy opponents to added continents in Crysis.


The EVGA GeForce 9800 GT charcoal affectionate to NVIDIA’s inadvertence lath design. Featuring a 650MHz amount alarm speed, the 512MB of DDR3 amnesiacs has a alarm acceleration of 950MHz and uses 112 beck processors that run at a alarm acceleration of 1620MHz. All this equates to a best amnesiacs bandwidth of 60.8 gigabytes per second.


Chances are your cartoon agenda will be about as arresting as a non-caffeinated alcohol in a LAN cafe, so the architecture of the agenda would not be awfully important. But if you are agog on GPU cosmetics, you will acquisition the EVGA a rather boilerplate agenda that is not blatant or too dull.




Its array in our tests were impressive, but not spectacular. It did able-bodied in 3DMark 06, accomplishing a aftereffect of 12,414. As a comparison, the age-old that was already baron managed to get 12,074 in its heyday, while the newer and pricier alternate a 12,726 with an RRP that is higher.


When it comes to DirectX 10 games, Crysis is the criterion of choice. Unfortunately the 9800 GT did not administer to affect with its account of 19.16 frames per second. While absolutely this is a bold that eats cartoon cards for fun, the ATI-based can accomplish 23.9fps and costs aloof more. Call of Juarez performed decidedly badly, abrading by at 29.6fps; the Sapphire Toxic accomplished 47.9fps. It almost exhausted the ATI in the Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions tests with a aftereffect of 32.7fps.


The Direct X 9 benchmarking started off well, with the EVGA managing to run F.E.A.R. on the accomplished settings at an boilerplate of 148fps. Its Half Life 2 achievement of 133.74fps was beneath impressive, abnormally back compared already added to the Sapphire Toxic’s aftereffect of 176fps.
