Fresh pair from eVGA

Of course, these are GeForce 9s - members of the AKIMBO family.

Alesi colleague courtesy of we were already able to get acquainted with the reference clocks of the new family and the solutions of the main brands with the help of some pictures. In our current news, we’re breaking the veil on eVGA’s new GeForce 9800 GT, which ticks at clock signals that meet NVIDIA recommendations (600/1500/1800 MHz).

However, fortunately, this is not a reference solution; so that we have no doubt about it, it is enough to just look at the pictures. At first glance, the cooling of GTS / GTXs was inherited by the 9800 GTs, but if we take a closer look, it turns out that this is not the case. From the front, a structure hiding behind a black cloak seems to be a common cooling suitability that occupies a smooth two-card slot, but let's just look at the back:

Yes, not at all unreasonable, there is also a heat-dissipating surface on the other side of the VGA - the only drawback of this solution is only encountered if we want to put a card "on top" in the motherboard - which is also equipped with a heat pipe for greater efficiency.

From the title, we already know: these are two AKIMBOs, the only difference being the amount of GDDR3 VRAMs, meaning the more expensive model has 1GB of onboard memory for $ 200 - which is a factory 9800 GTX + is equal to…
