The 9800GTX: Continued…
All right, so yesterday I started my thoughts on the 9800GTX. Today, I will finish them.
So, if you looked at the benchmarks, it’s only slightly better than the 8800GTX. So, which one should you get? An EVGA 8800GTX for $339.99 at Newegg, or the EVGA 9800GTX for $329.99 at Newegg? Well, it depends actually. Say you already own an EVGA 8800GTX; there’s not much reason to upgrade to a 9800GTX, since it’s only a little performance gain. In that case, I wouldn’t upgrade. Now, let’s say you started on… an XFX 8600GT(just naming the first brand in my head :D). Anyways, if you started on an 8600GT, and you saw the performance of the 9800GTX… you’d think it’s just an absolutely awesome card. At least I would.
So, it’s all up to what you have right now… If you already have a high-end card like the 8800GTX and up, you wouldn’t want to. If you have a lower card like the 8600GT, then you’d want to if you had the chance. That’s all for tonight. Good night everyone!

Oh, and if you want to buy a 9800GTX, here’re a couple of them; pick one out, if you have a specific brand preference, go right ahead and pick the one you want:EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB PCIe 2.0, XFX GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB PCIe 2.0
, BFG GeForce 9800 GTX 512BM PCIe 2.0
, PNY XLR8 GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB PCIe 2.0
And here’s a picture of one of them. IMO, the Heatsink/fan looks pretty sleek
