9800 GX2 later

In the vicinity of Valentine’s Day is alleged to have its premiere new NVidia graphics card. However, as it moves slightly firm market debut of the new system. Why is this happening? The reasons are two. Unfortunately for NVidia quite serious. Recall that the new card has to compete with the recently presented dual card Radeon 3870 X2. NVIDIA is just another patent on a dual GPU. But as long as face to face.

Problem number one is the issue of heat. Know that the card will be highly “prądożerna.” 250 Watt to a few. However, in practice, it appears that the card is extraordinarily grzeje and its objections to the construction of the first report zaceli testers solution. Manufacturers expect that NVIDIA somehow will tackle the problem of the heating system. And sometimes they do not want to hear about the need to apply additional expensive solutions.

The problem number two is productivity. Same manufacturer as long as it is not delighted with the efficiency of the spiętego in SLI mode. The increment of power is seemingly disproportionate to the expenses that would incur in the future client. Thus, the purchase would be effective enough in comparison with the Radeon 3870 X2.

Therefore, NVIDIA has decided to release the accused on non-card market. New deadline is the beginning of March. Let us hope that this time will not be further poślizgów.
