It comes with all the usual 9800 GTX features except of course the AMP! Edition part means that it comes with a boost in performance via some factory overclocking.

A regular 9800 GTX reference cards includes a core clock speed of 675MHz, shader clock speed of 1688MHz and memory speed of 2200MHz DDR.
