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.

Absoltely Phenomal Performance for the Enthusiast
- Pros: This card, when combined with the right set of drivers, delivers absolutely stunning peformance in the latest array of PC games. I experienced roughly a 30% performance increase in Crysis from my EVGA 8800Ultra, and the results continue to increase with every new driver release. With the stock cooling fan provided, I am currently running this card with a 738MHz core, 1129MHz memory, and 1905MHz shaders which yield a siginficant performance increase from the stock clocks. Again, I highly recommend this card to anyone looking for top-notch performance as this card makes a great choice and the only thing fastest than this "single" card are two GX2 cards together.
- Cons: This is a dual-GPU single-slot solution and is over 5 pounds in weight. Having two of these in SLi could potentially damage a motherboard, so it is necessary to take any precautions necessary when transporting a rig with these monsters.
- Other Thoughts: The Nvidia "GT200" architecture should be around by September according to the most acceptable speculations, and so those anticipating a Step-Up from this card might want to consider holding back their purchase date.
GX2
- Pros: I build & sell and have had alot of customers waiting for this card. I ordered two for myself at 6am yesterday morning.This is a very fast card,its just to bad the quad SLI drivers are not ready yet. nVidia needs to start having good drivers ready before they release a card. I bought two of them,so thats why i am disipointed with the quad driver not being ready.How ever this card starts to shine over 1600 x 1200 Its also a very heavy card.
- Cons: Found them for $562 today. Who ever said they bought one for $400 needs to stop getting high lol
- Other Thoughts: Lain Li P80 / QX9650@4.5GHz 12TEC Boreas chiller / two 9800GX2s / 8 Gbs PC8500 Patriot Vipers / 150GB Rapto X,WD 750Gb / 2 Lite On 20x DVD burners / 1200w Silverstone / Vista Ultimate 64bit / Hanns g 28" LCD / Razer Diamondback3G/ Razer eXact Mat / Saitek Blue Eclipse

- 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.
