The GTX+ is merely a higher clocked GTX... so uh... wouldn't it be faster in all cases?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2008 10:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce 9800 GTX+ hits the bench]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/nvidias-512mb-geforce-9800-gtx-hits-the-bench/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/nvidias-512mb-geforce-9800-gtx-hits-the-bench/</guid><description><![CDATA[All I saw was that they're all pretty much the same when you look at AVG frames per second.  <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Logboy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2008 10:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce 9800 GTX+ hits the bench]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/nvidias-512mb-geforce-9800-gtx-hits-the-bench/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/nvidias-512mb-geforce-9800-gtx-hits-the-bench/</guid><description><![CDATA[What I want to know is when pc case manufacturers are going to start adding the space for the dedicated graphics card power supply.

I'm impressed with ATI's 4850 not only did it bring performance to the table, but look at the price war.  This is such a relief from the nVidia dominated price gouging of a year ago.

From the two 6 pin PCI Express power connectors on the 9800GTX+, it looks like it might be a lot more power hungry than the 4850 (which only has one connector). It also seems to need more cooling, as the 9800GTX+ and it's cooling takes up two slots. The 4850 is a single slot card. While a few more FPS may be nice, I don't want to have to replace my PSU and free up an extra slot just to run the thing.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nimblesquirrel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 20th 2008 11:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce 9800 GTX+ hits the bench]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/nvidias-512mb-geforce-9800-gtx-hits-the-bench/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/20/nvidias-512mb-geforce-9800-gtx-hits-the-bench/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nvidia has been blowing away the rest for years,and still does> if your worried about money than get a better job or get out of compuer gaming and buy a ps3 wich also i might add steps on all other game consoles.
