The 9800 GX2’s powerful dual-GPU design enables smooth game play at resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600, even with all available in-game features turned on. It is also designed for the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering the highest data transfer speeds for the most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications, while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.

Pair up this graphics athlete with an additional 9800 GX2-based card and one of the newly released XFX nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboards for a true performance technology solution that brings home the gold with scorching frame rates, true-to-life extreme HD gaming and picture-perfect Blu-ray and HD DVD movies.

The new nForce 790i Ultra SLI motherboard, for example, is the only platform that supports DDR3 SLITM-Ready memory with EPP 2.0 and provides world-record setting memory speeds up to 2GHz. With a 1600 MHz FSB the XFX’s 790i Ultra SLI motherboard is the foundation for the world’s ultimate gaming PC, enabling users to build the fastest, most overclockable Intel CPU-based rig and experience unmatched DirectX 10 gaming for 2-way and 3-way SLI. This motherboard is also ESA certified.

The 9800 GX2 graphics card utilizes a second generation NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology engine for an unsurpassed home theater experience. Users experience unprecedented HD picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color and precise image scaling for movies or video. PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core that provides ultra smooth movies with 100 percent of H.264 video decoding from the CPU with significantly reduced power consumption.

Hardware Decode Acceleration provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies. Dual-stream Hardware Acceleration supports picture-in-picture content and Dynamic Contrast Enhancement & Color Stretch ensures post-processing and optimization of High Definition movies on scene-by-scene basis with spectacular picture quality. An integrated HDMI connector allows users to send both high-definition video and audio signals to their HDTVs via a single cable.

The 9800 GX2 graphics card goes the distance with additional technological advancements, such as the ability to enlarge lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, recover original film images from films-converted-to-video, noise reduction and edge enhancement that ensures that the user experience is truly the gold standard.
