DailyTech: NVIDIA Rains on Radeon HD 4850 Parade With 9800 GTX+

"NVIDIA rolled out a new GPU-- rather quietly-- called the GeForce 9800 GTX+ that it intends to do battle with the Radeon HD 4850 from rival ATI. The 9800 GTX+ reference cards have a shader clock of 1836 MHz and a graphics clock of 738 MHz. The new GTX+ GPU supports PhysX on the GPU and supports CUDA-based applications as well. CUDA-based applications include Folding@Home and Badaboom video transcoding.

The GPU supports both 2-way and 3-way SLI -- just as the original 9800 GTX does. Perhaps the best news for gamers looking for a video card that performs well, but doesn’t cost a fortune is that the 9800 GTX+ card will retail for $229. The old 9800 GTX drops to a price of only $199, making for a great performance for price bargain considering the card was over $300 a few weeks ago.

One more important note on the 9800 GTX+ GPU is that it is built using a 55nm refresh of the original G92 core in the 9800 GTX, which was built using 65nm process. Unconfirmed rumors point to a July 16 launch for the 9800 GTX+."


Hmmm....
