The GeForce 9800 GTX was a performance graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in March 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. 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 placed 512 MB GDDR3 memory on the card, 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 measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 299 US Dollars.
