That's great, I just hope that it doesn't overheat much since it's superclocked. According to the reviews though, it stays cool.

just make sure you have room in your case for it. i have a 9800 gt which might be a better deal for you, its 50$ cheaper and you probaly wont see that big of diffrence bettween the 2 depending on what resolution you play at. anything 1600x1050 and under a 9800 gt will be more then enough, otherwise go with the gtx for resolutions that are around 1920x1080 and up.

You could just get the normal one, spend 20$ on a good gpu cooler, overclock it, and have a video card thats overclocked further than that and costs less.

So your saying that it wouldnt be worth getting the GTX+ og you game at less than 1600X1200?, in that case, would i be better off getting the 9800GT rather than the 9800GTX+, or HD4850 rather than HD4870? I play at 1440X900

Go with something else than, no point in getting that good of a card when you play at low resolutions.

good card. but keep your eyes peeled if you're willing to wait, my guess is you'll be able to pick up a gtx 260 for sub-200 prices on a sale sometime.

For that resolution, I would go with the 9800GTX+.

for that rez i wouldnt bother getting anything bigger than a 9600GT or if you really want to push AA and AS then get an 9800GT but anything more is a waste.
