Today NVIDIA launches their new GeForce 9800 GTX card. This is the third card in the GeForce 9 Series after the GeForce 9600 GT and the GeForce 9800 GX2.
The card is based on NVIDIA's G92 graphics processor which is also used on several GeForce 8 SKUs. Overall this card is very similar to the GeForce 8800 GTS, the only difference are the higher clocks, and the PCB/cooler of course.

Feature-wise there are no real surprises either. NVIDIA has added some Purevideo HD improvements, support for triple SLI and Hybrid Power to this card.

What is very refreshing is to see that this card is offered at a low price of $299 to $349. According to NVIDIA the 9800 GTX replaces the 8800 GTX which will probably go out of production soon. It will be interesting to see how well the card compares against the 8800 GTX in this NVIDIA 9800 GTX review.
