Default Which 9800 GTX+ to get?
Hi, can anyone help me decide which 9800 GTX+ to get please. Will my CPU bottleneck the card? I also plan on SLIing in the future. I use the MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum mobo, AMD Phenom 9500 OC @ 2.493 GHz

PNY VCG98GTXPXPB GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card:

Those look like the best ones for their price. Any other recommendations welcomed.

go BFG for the customer service and the rma service "they'll take almost any card and with minimal info" that's just me tho

also pny one has a cooler that dosent vent out the back of the case "y the hell" and it looks lame. go bfg for sure. You should check out some guys parting out his folding rig on here for cheap and it would be cool to help him out.

Exact same as a 9800GTX+, and it has 1GB of video memory, which actually makes a good increase in performance.

Niiice. Can it be OC? If so, by how much? Is my CPU gonna bottleneck it?

It also comes with a free game. Call of Duty World at War, sweeeet. I can just sell the game.

1440 by 900. It can go up to 1920 by 1080 but stuff looks really tiny then lol. I might be upgrading to a 23 inch one though...

never mind if it can do 1920/1080 that memory will help you a bit, but only if you use that rez for games really
