OCC reviews the Palit 9800GTX+ graphics card and compares it to a series of cards from both AMD and nVidia. Wanna see how it compares? Check it out - http://www.overclock...t_9800gtx_plus/

Nice review, Scavenger. It wasn't long ago when 9800GTX's were around $300 dollars. So many new graphics cards in so little time.

Thanks, RA1D!

My buddy bought a 9800GTX several months ago for $275 and it died on him in the first week.

this confirms my love for the 4850 as the ultimate budget videocard. Good Review though!

Wait until you see what the MSI R4830 can do!

i meant with still big boy performance, or does the 4830 deliver that too?

I myself am the ultimate fan of the ultra cheap $200 9800GX2 but with ATI's hidden performance in the stream procs about to be unleashed via drivers for all 4xxx cards we will see where things are. In response Nvidia is going to slash prices again so something tells me ATI had a trick up their sleeve for customer loyalty.

Although I have the Nvida's I can't wait to see some benchs with these unlocked steams!

when is this happening, in the 8.12 release? I'm excited now (you aren't just leading me on now are you) I never heard of such wonderful news.
and yeah back on the subject of the 9 series, other than the 9800GX2. I honestly can say (this review supports it), that the 9 series has been completely put to rest both by price AND performance (and unless we are talking folding but that's unfair )

Yes - the support will be in the 8.12 drivers due out on December 10.

There has been a fair bit of info about this on the front page:
