If you think you already have the best graphics card in town then you need to reevaluate. You must know that Nvidia released what experts dub as a powerhouse graphics card – the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2. Gamers who haven’t done any upgrade on their graphics card will surely want to try this new one out because of its promising capabilities. If you are content with the performance brought about by a 128 processor core, then you’ll be astounded by the 9800 GX2’s two 128 Processor Cores.

Aside from that, the GeForce 9800 GX2 provides 2560 x 1600-pixel video resolution. To add more, it also gives High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) support on the card’s DVI and HDMI production. It also supports other video formats like H.264, VC-1, WMV, and MPEG-2. The drawback about this card is that there is a minute image lag when you shift film to video.

Nvidia made use of its HybridPower technology that reduces power waste as the card automatically adjusts its power usage as required. The card is slightly bigger than your typical graphics card as it measures approximately 11 inches, so its size is one thing that you have to consider if you intend to upgrade your PC. And another is the price. The Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 comes with a $600 price tag.
