Nvidia has informed their partners of a new GeForce 9800 GTX+ graphics card that will offer better competition against the ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card. GeForce 9800 GTX+ will be clocked at 738MHz core and 1836MHz shader compared to 675/1688MHz for the current 9800 GTX card. It will be priced at $229 while the GeForce 9800 GTX price will fall to $199 level. The card will offer support for GeForce PhysX and CUDA-based applications, including Folding@Home and Badaboom video transcoding applications. Expected to launch on June 26th and available in mid July. Read More >>

Intel would like to crush nVidia for not releasing chipset license for Nehalem/QPI architecture. After that will be AMD

AMD can easily OC their cards so that they are always one step ahead, I don't see the piont here?!

9800GTX+ is more like a tool to combat HD 4850. HD 4850 is performing similarly to 9800GTX already (hence the $100 price drop).

From the result, we could probably speculate that HD 4870 will hold a definite performance advantage over 9800GTX+ with a higher clock increase and DDR5 (hence the 9800GTX+ price point @ $229 vs HD 4870 $299).


No chance in hell NDIVIA is giving out discounts on good will

I thought the first reviews of 4850 and 4870 trumped the 9 series.

Hmmm so the GT2X0 is already far superior than HD48x0? Why are they still concentrating on 9800GTX?

They still don't have a chipset license for Nehalem/QPI.

SLI on intel chipset, music to my ears
but unless nvidia want to give up their chipset business
i guess not

Anyone remember the 7800GTX-512?
