NVIDIA started GeForce 9800 GTX+ sales 16 January 2009 at a recommended price of $229 . This is a Tesla architecture desktop card based on 55 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.1 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 70.4 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 10.5" (26.7 cm). 2x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 141 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 1.31% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
