ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX+

It used to be that if you wanted to overclock your hardware, you ran the risk of voiding a warranty. Supposing that you dared to accept that risk, your options were still limited by the cooling equipment available to you. So it stands to reason that ZOTAC is making huge strides with their ZONE series, which combines a silent liquid-cooled system to a 55nm GeForce video card. The AMP! Series is already a fan favorite because of the extreme speeds at which they are factory overclocked, and the ZONE series adds to this a dramatically improved water-cooling solution for the best performance with no worries of heat or noise. Benchmark Reviews tests the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX+ ZONE Edition G92 video card against a comprehensive collection of competitors in this article.

Powered by the newly revamped 55nm NVIDIA G92 graphics processor originally introduced with the GeForce 8800 GT series, the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX+ ZONE Edition video card takes the GeForce family one step higher. The PCI Express 2.0 interface sends data at rates up to 5.0 GBps, which then uses the memory bus to build a 512 MB video frame buffer for smoother performance and realistic textures in PC games. The 1100 MHz GDDR3 video memory (2200 MHz DDR) on the GTX+ communicates with the 740 MHz G92 graphics processor through a 256-bit memory interface. For an extra performance boost during intense gaming situations, NVIDIA has designed the GTX+ to offer 128 stream processors operating at 1836 MHz.

Benchmark Reviews has already tested the Foxconn GeForce 9800 GTX OC Edition and ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX, so now the big question remains: what's does a 55nm fabrication process really change? That's what you and I both want to know, and in a few more pages, we'll have our answer.
