NVIDIA's ninth generation series of graphics cards brings cutting edge technology and advanced capabilities together to provide best-in-class performance. The 9800GX2 is the solution for all your most demanding graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and equipped with a PCI-Express 2.0 interface for the latest system.
The 9800 supports Quad SLI to seriously crank your performance options by using up to four graphics cards to for insane flow rates. Support for DirectX 10, Shader Model 4.0, OpenGL 2.1 and NVIDIA's PureVideoHD are built in to render even the most intense environmental effects or HD DVD video with brilliant clarity. The card's core clock runs at 600MHz relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the 9800's 256 stream processors which are fed by 1GB of 512-bit 2000MHz GDDR3 memory.
Twin dual-linked DVI and 400 MHz RAMDAC lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors, or output to other video displays via the S-Video and HDTV connectors for maximum flexibility. The 9800 delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with solid performance. If your motherboard can take it, the 9800GX2 can dish it out.

FAAAST!
- Pros: Runs everything I've thrown at it at a liquid-smooth framerate.. From Crysis, to Jericho and 3DMark2006 with no hitches whatsoever! All this with a 1440x900 screen, which most may say is a waste, but I am updating that very soon. eVGA has made a nice, solid and beautiful card and the step-up program is great!
- Cons: Price. Though that's coming down through rebate offers. People may also say that you're better off investing in two 8800 GTS, or GTX cards. Card exhausts its generated heat through the top-vent of the card, so make sure you have sufficient cooling! My Thermaltake Armor+ VH6000BWS seems to provide sufficient cooling, and the idle-and-load temperatures seem average compared to what I've seen in review sites.
- Other Thoughts: Research! Those with tighter wallets could probably do well with two 8800GTS cards SLI'ed together. In the end, this card isn't a real update to those sporting two GeForce 8800-series cards but since I'm updating from a system that used an ATI Radeon X850, and I had the money.. I pounced on this card, and I don't regret it. HDMI out may be a good thing for those users with the capability.
A great card, though not for the faint of heart.
- Pros: The card runs most games at maximum settings (with the exception of Crysis), at 1920x1200, with AA turned on.
- Cons: Runs hot. While the GPUs themselves stay within a certain temperature, every other component on my motherboard increases by an average of 10 degrees C under load. My motherboard would actually overheat and crash, so I had to increase my fan speed in Riva Tuner in order to accomodate this.
- Other Thoughts: For those of you considering this card, consider the following:
1. Power Supply. You need a high quality one. I use a PC Power + Cooling 610W, which is highly efficient and more than enough for me.
2. Case: You need a large case. This card is huge, and required me to remove my secondary hard drive in order to fit. I reccomend a larger mid-size case or a full tower if you're going to get this card.
3. Airflow: You need airflow in your case in order to accomodate the size of the card, and the heat it produces.
4. Your monitor's resolution: This card is unneccessary, really, if you're going to be gaming at any resolution under 1680x1050. The card does not run games much faster than an 8800GT at lower resolutions (with the exception of Crysis). The card maintains these speeds, however, at higher resolutions, which is the idea behind it's dual GPU in the first place.
If you meet those criteria, this card is an excellent choice.

- Pros: FAST. This card is absolutely amazing. This thing benches easily up against GTX 280s in fps tests.
- Cons: Sadly, this product appears to have been discontinued. Probably has something to do with nVidia planning to release the 9900 GX2.
- Other Thoughts: I really wish this product hadn't been discontinued so soon, I really wanted to get a second one and test out Quad SLI against my friends with two or three 280s (and twice the price each).
Sick!
- Pros: This card is so powerful for the price, it would easily smoke a GTX 260, and if overclocked enough could probably catch up to a GTX 280, and its $200 dollars cheaper!?! you gotta be crazy not to buy this.
- Cons: NONE AT ALL
- Other Thoughts: I overclocked the card from 600mhz core to 700mhz core with the shader linked and the ram clock to 1100(2200) without any noticable temperature change and no problems at all. It could be cause of my amazing case (Antec P180B) but who knows...
Mid-range price
- Pros: Upgraded from a 3870 512 GDDR4; I really didn't need an upgrade but when this dropped in price I couldn't resist. And so far I couldn't be happier. This card performs outstandingly, my major game of choice is Far Cry 2 and in that it consistently gets 35-40 fps.
As well I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that I didn't have the cards set up to use both GPUs. Once I did that the frame rates went into the mid 40s-50s.
- Cons: Run warm to hot...this seems normal for all nvidia cards, though, and doesn't hurt performance much.
