Bleeding 9800 GT from several wounds from Colorful's workshop

Cheaper but slower 9800 GT unveiled.

We came across real delicacies, but unlike the 9800 GT graphics cards we’ve known so far, the Colorfulé evoked more disapproving glances from us than a satisfied smile. There is no problem with the fact that the reference cooling has been replaced by a dual slot solution, but it should be treated as a negative, that even if we look for the SLI connector on the fiery red printed circuit board, they have simply been spared. We would have been able to come to terms with this, but it is unacceptable that the video card was equipped with DDR2 memory, and the memory bus was also truncated, as the memory chips are connected to the G92 graphics core on a 256-bit data bus instead of 128.

Thanks to the measures, we have certainly managed to cut a few dollars out of the price of the video card, but we do not know exactly how much this means.
