Advices and comments
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce 9800 GT sales 21 July 2008 at a recommended price of $160. This is Tesla architecture desktop card based on 65 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 0.9 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 57.6 GB / s.
Compatibility-wise, this is 1-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 9" (22.9 cm). 2x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 105 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 3.50 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI Mobile.
