The XFX GeForce® 9800 GTX+ Gives Gamers The Ultimate Bang for Very Good Price

June 16, 2008 -XFX's newest release, the GeForce® 9800 GTX+ graphics card disproves a common theory in the gaming world-that a modestly priced card delivers only modest performance. In fact, XFX's 9800 GTX+ turns that notion on its ear, and then some.

With 128 screaming fast cores that each run a new record high 1836 MHz, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ graphics card is truly the Tasmanian Devil of the category. Faster than any graphics card in attractive price range, the XFX 9800 GTX+ simultaneously delivers the most exceptional gaming experience possible-even at extreme HD resolutions.

The XFX 9800 GTX+ is loaded with all of the features hardcore gamers have come to expect, such as PhysX™ technology that transforms the overall gaming experience with realistic facial movements, weather effects and explosions. NVIDIA CUDA™ technology and new CUDA runtime for Windows Vista enables users to offload intensive processing tasks from their CPUs to their graphics card. It has 128 processor cores for maximum performance across an endless array of computing tasks. HybridPower™ technology allows users to save power by shifting to their motherboard's onboard graphics (HybridSLI capable motherboard required) when running less graphically intense applications.

Fully optimized gaming can be achieved by running three XFX GeForce® 9800 GTX+ graphics cards in three-way NVIDIA SLI® mode on one of XFX's nForce® 780i SLI or 790i SLI motherboards. The three-way SLI systems generate up to a 2.8X performance increase over a single graphics card. And, the XFX GeForce® 9800 GTX+ is designed for the PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture featured in nForce 7 series and GeForce 8 series motherboards, ensuring the highest data transfer speeds for today's bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications. Users can even fine-tune their performance with the 9800 GTX+'s ESA-enabled control panel.

The XFX 9800 GTX+ features a second generation NVIDIA PureVideo® HD technology engine which ensures unsurpassed High Def movie picture quality thanks to features such as dynamic contrast enhancement, color stretch video processing and dual-stream picture-in-picture content.

A supremely loaded graphics card, the XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ truly delivers the ultimate bang for very good price. To learn more about the XFX GeForce® 9800 GTX+, go to http://www.xfxforce.com.
