|  Re: 9800gtx+ ^yeah that's the thing that's interesting about this. Will be interesting to see how it clocks after a 55nm shrink.

  | Re: 9800gtx+ What I don't understand is if the 4850's are like $160-170 right now and this comes out for $229, shouldn't it be competiting with the 4870's a little bit? $229 to $280-300 is not a gigantic jump as far as graphics cards go.... But either way, If i feel i want to, i may pick one of these up just because the shrink should result in better overclocks and it would need less cooling, wouldn't you say so? |

| Re: 9800gtx+ yea cause look at the 65nm-45nm quads, less voltage and they usually run cooler (don't OC as well, but that's due to the multi) Yea, I think they should just cancel the original 9800 gtx and move the gtx+ to $199 because at $229 you'd be better off doing what you said, splurge for the 4870 or maybe a GTX 260 |

| Re: 9800gtx+ EVGA | Products it's on evga for pre-order, $199, so i'm guessing that's going to be the selling price  !lol people on their forum are already talking about stepping up to it |

| Re: 9800gtx+ same here i'm still trying to save up money for my build this card looks promising though, good price for what it can do. I hope the price stays, because if it goes over $220 you'd probably just be better off buying a GTX 260 |
