14 DAY TRIAL // MSI has recently introduced its latest series of graphic cards, the N9800GX2, claimed to get up to 50% more speed than GeForce 8800 Ultra, until recently said to be the fastest GPU. The NVIDIA HybridPower technology, 1GB graphics memory and two on-board graphic cards make the N9800GX2 GPUs ready for extreme graphic performance. The dual GPU-based N9800GX2 Series is beautifully designed and engineered and provides a complete entertainment solution.
The industry-leading Quad NVIDIA SLI technology is also available for the MSI N9800GX2 Series. This feature offers amazing performance scaling and provides the fastest gaming solution. Having the ability to pair the MSI N9800GX2 Series graphic cards, users can experience true-to-life extreme HD gaming and ultra-smooth playback for Blu-ray or HD DVD movies. Also, the NVIDIA HybridPower technology delivers high graphics performance when needed and lowers power for less demanding operations.
The features of the N9800GX2 Series spread on quite a long list. Some of them are: NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology, NVIDIA ForceWare unified Driver Architecture (UDA), NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology, Full Microsoft DirectX 10 Support and OpenGL 2.1 Optimizations and Support. Above all, the MSI DOT Express Technology allows overclocking for performance enhancements, designed to bring up to 10% performance boost, while the MSI StarOSD gives the possibility to easily access the brightness, contrast or overclocking and temperature, according to preferences.
The N9800GX2-M2D1G graphics card is built to give the user the best experience. It features 1GB graphics memory with the clock speed set at 2000MHz. The core clock of the GPU runs at 600MHz, while the Shade clock at 1500MHz. Each on-board GPU comes with 256 units stream, so the combine memory interface is 512-bit. The memory bandwidth of this graphics card reaches 62.1GB/s, while the texture fill rate 41.6 billion/s. The card features two DVI outputs, one D-Sub output and one HDMI output. The maximum supported resolution is 2560*1600.
Another new launch for MSI is the N9600GT-T2D1G graphics card. It features 650MHz core clock speed, 1625MHz shader clock speed and 1800MHz memory speed. The memory amount is 1GB and the memory interface 256-bit. The memory bandwidth goes to 57.6GB/s, while the texture fill rate to 20.8 billion pixels/s. The card delivers high multimedia performance and silent operation. The image quality provided by this graphics card can easily be enhanced with some of the tools MSI has to offer.
The performance of the MSI N9800GX2 Series is not easy to equal. As they are already much faster than the reference point GeForce 8800 Ultra, when paired with the SLI technology these cards seem unbeatable. Not only that they provide the best solution for multimedia applications, but are also capable of delivering the ultimate gaming experience. And the Live Update service for driver installation and updates provided by MSI ensures users that they have the right drivers and that they can enjoy the full features of the graphic cards.
