The GeForce 9800 GTX was a performance-segment graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 28th, 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G92 graphics processor, in its G92-420-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The G92 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 324 mm² and 754 million transistors. It features 128 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the GeForce 9800 GTX, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 675 MHz, memory is running at 1100 MHz.
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX draws power from 2x 6-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 140 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. GeForce 9800 GTX is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card's dimensions are 267 mm x 111 mm x 38 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 299 US Dollars.
