Gainward has been kind enough to supply us with their latest graphics card, the GeForce 9800 GTX, a video card that's only a couple of days old. Their Gainward BLISS 9800 GTX is Tri-SLI ready, has HybridPower, it's good for multimedia, but it excels in gaming. This first version from Gainward is following the reference design as set by NVIDIA, though we can expect a Golden Sample as well in the near future. It is a king of strategy to first follow the design as outlined, and afterwards return back to the table and come up with a better and faster version. And on that aspect Gainward is not alone as many other brands follow the same approach and come up with a faster version with a premium price tag. - FudZilla Gainward BLISS 9800 GTX 512MB Video Card Review
This is the third card from the GeForce 9 series, after the GeForce 9600 GT and GeForce 9800 GX2 card. It uses the G92 graphics chip and specification wise resembles to the GeForce 8800 GTS board, although it has higher speeds. The memory runs at 2200MHz effectively, whereas the core runs at 675MHz and the shaders at 1688MHz. We managed to overclock the core up to 808MHz and the shaders just followed and ran at 2020MHz. The memory in question is Samsung 0.8ns, and we managed to overclock it to 2430MHz effectively. This is the fastest GDDR3 memory that we've seen on graphics cards so far, the results prove that.
