9800GTX je kartica sa najnovijom revizijom G92 čipa koja donosi
podršku za 3-way SLI te ispeglaniji proizvodni proces. Upravo taj bolji proces
donosi i bolje overclocking mogućnosti te se ubrzo nakon predstavljanja referentnih
modela možemo nadati i raznim tvornički ubrzanim karticama. Ne sumnjamo kako
će Zotac biti predvodnik, kao uostalom i sa 9600GT AMP! modelom. Referentni
model nas je naprosto oduševio OC mogućnostima GPU-a. Skoro 25% viši takt
je za svaku pohvalu. Da bi to postigli ventilator smo vrtili na 100%, pri
čemu je jako bučan, pa će se samo najzagriženiji odlučiti na maksimalnu brzinu
cijelo vrijeme.

Zotac sa ovom karticom daje i solidan bundle, a za pohvalu je
što su priložili i LOST igru. Ukoliko tražite karticu koja je iz više klase
no ipak ne previsoke cijene, 9800GTX je svakako model koj trebate gledati.
Performanse u DX10 naslovima su konačno malo porasle, čak i u Crysisu. A uvijek
naknadno možete kupiti još jednu ili dvije te joj produžiti životni vijek,
naravno ako imate SLI matičnu ploču. S druge strane 9800GTX ne donosi ništa
revolucionarno i novo, pa stoga nije zaslužila najvišu ocjenu. Preporučena
cijena za Sjeverno američko tržište kreće se između 299 i 349USD, a koliko
će koštati u Hrvatskoj možemo samo nagađati.

 

Conclusion

9800GTX brings a new revision of well known G92 GPU which has
a 3-way SLI support and improved manufacturing process. Thanks to that improvement
this GPU-u is a better overclocker, and we can expect factory overclocked
models very soon on the market. We have no doubt that Zotac will be the leader
in that, just like they were with the 9600GT AMP! model. 9800GTX thrilled
us with its overclocking capabilities. Almost 25% higher clock for the GPU
is a great result. To achieve this we had to run the vent at 100%, where it
was very loud, so only hardcore overclockers will run it all the time at max.

Zotac 9800GTX has a good bundle, and commendable is that the
bundled a LOST game. If you are looking for a not too pricey high-end board,
you should definitely consider 9800GTX, because performance in DX10 games
has finally improved – even in Crysis. Later, you can always prolonge board`s
life with buying a second or even a third one, if u have a SLI motherboard
that is. On the other hand 9800GTX does not bring anything revolutionary and
new so it has not deserved the highest score. Recommended price for North
American market is between 299 and 349USD, and we can only assume how much
will it cost in Croatia.
