ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GX2 Graphics Card Author: Shane Baxtor SUMMARY: It’s time to start looking at what the vendors can do to mix up the 9800 GX2 with our first review of a retail card. Editor: Steve Dougherty Category: Visual Published: 24th March 2008 Manufacturer: ZOTAC Our Rating: 93% Rate our Content Now! Introduction It feels weird to have done four articles on the 9800 GX2 without having actually had a look at a single retail card yet. The first retail card to come out of the gates comes in the form of a ZOTAC offering. While most of the time we’re used to seeing AMP! Edition cards from ZOTAC which carry with them some decent overclocks, this particular card carries nothing more than the default core and memory speed. There isn’t a whole lot to say that we haven’t already covered in our previews of the model, so let’s just get stuck straight into the package and see what ZOTAC have offered us here today.
