Reviews of the Zogis GeForce 9800 GTX
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast performance compared with other 3D cards in its price range; HybridPower design should use less power on supporting Nvidia motherboards (as soon as the software is ready).
The Bad: Pairing up two lower-end cards gives SLI-capable motherboard owners more bang for the buck; requires two connections to your PC's power supply.
The Bottom Line: Nvidia's new GeForce 9800 GTX chip is fast enough, but if your PC is SLI-capable you can spend just a little more and get a significantly better high-resolution gaming experience. Consider your options carefully before upgrading to this card.
